A kit like this can charge a 100ah battery in 1-2 days.

It's great to see the price coming down on this technology. With 21 roof panels, my neighbor is selling back power. A friend who works for Florida Light and Power says solid-state aluminum batteries are coming, and FPL is preparing the infrastructure because solar panels on every roof are inevitable.

Or just use a gas generator

Take a look at Jackery Portable Power Stations and solar generators. Also Massimo brand at Costco...

I think I'm better off with a small camping gas generator
It would be about the same amount of money if not less
Rain 🌧🌦or shine ✨😎

I have a 270 watt Panel and a 30 AMP MPPT charge controller I use on my travel trailer that I use to recharge the 200AH of 12V deep cycle FLA batteries. Paid $165 for the panel and another $130 for the charge controller. Works great for me. Last week in Sequoia I was producing 12.4 amps at 14.6 volts (180 watts) at 8:30 in the morning. My batteries were fully recharged around noon after being used most of night for heat. Heater (propane with 12V fan) turned on at 1 AM and ran about 1/2 the time until about 7 AM. Outside temp got into the 30s.

And would hate to buy something off the internet that would fall short of my situation. Maybe a video would have helped showing deep cycle battery being charged with regular battery charger plugged into the controller or a live demonstration from a salesmen
