Well Said Turnerfam.... you sumed it up nicely.
No everyone really "needs it" but they all "want it". Just figure out what you really need and how much you really want to spend on it.
Denvertransplant - Sounds like a nice system... You will really love it once you have the inverter installed.
I think for most of us 200 watts would be enough to supplement our energy needs. But if your boondocking a week at a time ....ramp it up accordingly. But dont forget to add more batteries. 600 watts of solar sound nice but if you only have one battery its just a waste of money.
I think most figure about 100 watts of solar per one battery but I would figure 150 watt per one to account for cloudy days and lost efficiency with heat, age of system, long wire etc.
I really dont need solar but its still on my long term mods list. Go figure.
Plus I would think it would be great "selling feature" down the road (but dont expect to get your money back out of it).
