I'm solving my issue with by purchasing a River Mobile Power Station from Ecoflow Technology. It provides 116,000 mAh/412Wh with two AC outlets, a 12V outlet and 4 USB ports. The version I'm purchasing comes with a 50W solar panel that will recharge the unit from dead in about 10hours. It weighs 11 pounds and is about the size of a 12 pack of beer. When it is released in August you can buy this setup for $999, but you can pre-order now for $750.

Their specs show 300 watts total AC power from two 110-Volt outlets combined. How do you plan to make coffee or power a toaster on 300 watts?
I get your need (morning coffee is essential), but why not just power a larger inverter off your house battery? Solar isn't even needed since you can charge the house battery (or batteries) the night before prior to quiet time. It's not like solar works at night anyway.
I'm not against solar, but in some applications it's not essential.
