I also need to know what type of inverters are needed, do they differ with wattage, etc. Also, is there a certain type of shutoff switch for the batteries once they are fully charged, and is there a shutoff to prevent too much drainage from the batteries.

How many batteries are needed and how many solar panels needed to charge each battery.

We have an average of 6 hours strong sun daily. Panels would be stationary.

Our house uses 1900kwh monthly maximum, so I calculated the camphouse would use less than 1100 max, but probably less than 600kwh monthly.

Any ideas where there is some good reading on this subject or any other advice?

I was told about several books but the ones I've read don't go into this part of solar energy.

To begin with, I will need much less watts but as time goes on, I will need more.

I talked to three different people who use them and they all said just to do it myself. Set up a system and then add solar panels, batteries, etc, as needed.

One man out here is setting up a $150,000 completely off-grid system. I have only talked to him once, but plan on visiting his place again soon.

Thanks also, Greif. If I could get a pro out here, I would, but it doesn't look promising.
