I've got about 2 acres turned into a park-like space with two long walking trails, but there's no electricity available. Solar-powered lights didn't work out for me because the area gets too shady. However, I found an open spot and I'm considering setting up a solar panel connected to a lithium battery to power two strings of low-voltage lights, running about 375 feet with buried cables. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm looking for advice on a simple DIY setup. Any tips?

Before you dive in, make sure to do a load calculation. When working with low voltage, like what you're considering, voltage drop can really affect performance, especially over a long distance like 375 feet. Make sure to check how many lights you plan to use and their power requirements to ensure everything will work well together.
