An inverter that is large enough to run all the devices you wish to power. It should be sized at 125% of the maximum load that needs to be run.
A large capacity battery bank. Decide the sizing by doing an energy audit.
on this I still have some questions. you guys are all wonderful by the way, so many responses! I'm deciding what batteries to get, currently I have a duralast 80ah and the yeti 1400. I want to go for lithium I think, and was looking at Winston cells. there are a few others, but I've heard good things about the Winston's and they are reasonable so I think I will go with them.
to get a lithium battery bank, id need a more specific charge controller I believe. battleborn batteries (Nevada) sell morningstar mppt controllers right on their site, and Winston does as well but I don't recognize any of them. I know I have to program to charge at different voltages than AGM or flooded, but the descriptions are only so detailed. any recommendations?
