Don't forget to factor in the cost of the solar panel though.

Are they really cheap enough to just throw one at saving a few pence on electric?

You would want a decent one, not like the ones you see in the little garden lights that cost a quid, they die out very quickly and stop working altogether.

I'm thinking more a 2 panel set up, on an angled shed roof, to maximise the time the sun is hitting it. For all we know the shed may be under a big tree, so yeah.
