Next connect the charge controller to the battery using battery cables.
Connecting led lights to solar panel.
Connect them to make a common connection.
From your solar panels to the led lights you will have a rather long cable wires going in between.
Yes the panels have wires off from them.
Finally connect the inverter which should also be located close to the battery with battery cables.
Those go to your charge controller and the wires from the charge controller go to the battery.
A good modern option for low wattage outdoor lights is led lights.
If you just wire them directly to the battery they ll be on all the time except for when the battery is dead.
I solder the positive wire to the inner pin and the negative wire to the outer shell of my cable.
Pressing them firmly over the pcb join by bending and soldering all the negatives leads together i e.
Your lights also connect to the battery.
For outdoor lights you can connect the battery directly to the lights to power them.
Similarly bend and solder all the positive leads together to produce a single common positive.
