Look on Amazon for solar product as well as panels and controllers. Tons of info.

This is a subject I have research on for a year but I have not pull the trigger yet. I had to many other upgrades that I thought was more important.

Tons of info on this site and others. Take your time and figure out what works best for you.

You need to know how long you want (or expect) to run on solar. Then how many batteries you need (or want) etc.

How much to you want to spend on the system? $300 - $10,000?

See how others have installed thier system and see if that will work for you.

Take your time on this.... so much info to absorb.

Good luck.
Thank you for the info, very helpful. BTW, a factory installed inverter is a option.
I have a AIMS 1500W inverter and a 170W solar panel. If you are interested in a solar panel, RICH SOLAR(on amazon) sells this panel for $186. Best buy for the $. The electrical system is not a problem, am a Electrical Engineer....
Thx......
