Presently we have 1240 watts of solar. adding 2 more mppt-60 controllers and probably 6 310 watt panels to the car hauler. then it will be complete. I want to call Morningstar and see what they think of having more watts than the controller can handle first. it's just I have a good deal buying the 310 watt panel at $238 each.

Nice.
Is your 1450 amp-hours based on 6-Volt battery ratings or 12-Volt ratings?
Just trying to get rough idea of how much your batteries might weigh. Can you share their type and sizes?
Sounds like you're already to point where generator isn't needed. That's a goal many share.
