We installed 400 watts with an MPPT controller ourselves. Upgraded the batteries and added a 2500 watt inverter and a battery monitor display. We boondock a majority of the time and this system has cut our generator time to nearly zero. We only run it for the convention oven or when we need air conditioning.
