Solar Panel Help

I am in need of some expert advice on a DIY solar panel set up.

My 21' carport is a long way from my house. I am wanting to put a solar panel to run 1 outlet that will handle my minkota 3 bank charger. The only other thing is maybe putting a couple of led light bulbs under the carport.

Any ideas?

    What is your definition of a "long distance"?

    A little over 200'. I can run electrical from house. However, I would have to go under a driveway and go around water lines to bury.

    Figured it would be easier and cheaper to set up a small solar cell.

    To get solar for what you want, it may cost 10 times the 200' A/C run.

    I think "10x" might be conservative. ; )
