I had Schneider come out to my house and trench power. We weren't sure if we were going to run a couple of 110v circuits or if we wanted to put an entire panel in it in case I wanted 220v in the shed (I am a wood floor contractor). I went with just the 110. Schneider put tubing in the ground...

"Art performed a quick and professional installation. The solatube installed in the kitchen provides a lot of needed natural light. Also, my existing attic fan had not functioned for several years, and Art suggested the solar powered fan. Art and Steve removed my old fan and installed the new solar fan. Great job all around.
