Indoor grow light powering solar panel?

I was at radioshack the other day and I saw these 4''x8'' solar panels, and it got me thinking, can the lights we use for our indoor grows power the solar panels? If that's the case, you could have a solar panel power a small fan or something.

Anyone?
These panels cost $15, wouldn't it be cool to power other stuff in your grow with the light being produced?

...If there's room for solar panels, I'd put some plants there....just my thoughts.

Well that about does it for this thread.......

An incredibly inefficient way of powering a fan. Just buy a fan you can plug in, and use your light to grow plants.

Why not invest in solar pannels to power your HIDs?

A much better idea - reduce your electric bill.

I'm just looking at the different possible applications for energy generating tech.

did you piece it together yourself or by a system, do you have a battery bank to go along with it?

if your roof was covered in solar panels theres no way police could use flir to heat scan and you could grow in your attic

Translate into English???

"I run my grow using 100% solar panel technology. it powers my 400w hps and 150w hps aswell and my a/c. so it can be done, although I am in hot ass motherfucking las vegas"

ps its not hard very hard to understand

hi, i started buying harbor frieght 45 watt panels setup that went in the trash years later, i was hooked .i designed my own system based on kill-a-watt power intake thankfully my ballast told me on nameplate the ac input in amps.then waited for obama the federal tax 30% to kick in and bought 2.5 kw system 2500 watts dc, solar panels times 1.70 a watt drove to arizona and got them then installed bought fork lift batteries used.i got tried of paying the power company to grow and an outside grow will not work in nevada ie. heat

my congrades to you thestinker smart man

I cant tell if your being sarcastic ? :S

Solardavid, got any pics of your setup?

Solardavid,
That's what I want in my backyard, do you have any links for the system you bought? It's a bit intimidating looking around on the web for who's system works as advertised. I take it you paid a professional to install the system?

Thanks,

At least some people understand what I was talking about.

no bro i was not sarcactic,remember i live in a state there is a lot of sun and nobody is going solar everyone wants to pay the power companies,not me .concurning the panels here is the link that i use to bid jobs including my own ecobusinesslinks.com/solarpanels.down to 1.50 a watt
