Just an update for anyone searching in the future... we settled on 3 Rolls Surrette 12v wet cells for total of 630 amp hrs, 315 usable at 50%. All batteries wires with equal length 00 cable to bussbars, 0000 gauge in 3 ft run to 2000 pure sine inverter. 900 watts of solar in 2 separate arrays (650 in 2 x 325 watt 72-cell panels in series to Victron 50 amp MPPT controller, and 1 250 watt 60-cell panel to separate Victron 30 amp MPPT). In typical daily use solar will recharge batteries by noon, nighttime usage with TV and coffee maker & Tassimo gets down to maybe 85%. Quite pleased that even in heavily overcast situations will get 150-200 watts of solar.
