You will likely be better served with a powered and/or motion activated light.
Unless you have a decent system (panel, controller, batteries, inverter and PLENTY of sunlight every day).....the hope that a powerful enough light will not be met. Without the inverter, you are limited to low voltage lights, which are generally not very bright.

You can get solar lights but there aint nothing flood about em. They wont even come close to what you want in a security light.
Sure.
But it gets to being a balancing act between size, cost, brightness, etc.
The panels are getting better every year,batteries as well.
But the cost of running line power would have to be pretty high to not make it the way to go.

Ace had these battery motions sensor lights last year for around 15 bucks. I think I bought 4 of them. Their not exactly flood lights, but they do light up a large area. Not sure if they would accomplish what you want though.
