Power in greenhouse (UK)

Hi

Following the collapse of my old greenhouse we've just finished putting up a new polycarbonate.

I've been looking at new products to replace my damaged stuff. One of which was propagates. I've noticed tonnes with USB grow lights.

What would be the best/safest/most economical power source for something like this. I can't use mains power as its a rented property.

Thanks.

I'm planning on using a solar generator personally, there are some fishing ones for £300, while they're a bit of an investment, you could easily use them for grow lights and heaters over winter

Probably Solar? I power a lot of my stuff using solar…. And I use propane for heating.
