You are correct, Dakota that a 150 watt panel is woefully inadequate. However 6 Sam's club GC-2 FLA golf cart batteries will produce 600 ah at 12v for only $510 or thereabouts. Now if AGM's were chosen the cost would be closer to what you suggested at around $1,400. Still, point taken.
For every 100ah in batteries the rule of thumb is about 100 watts of solar is needed. With the price of solar dropping, I'd use a little more than that to get the most out of expensive batteries.

Maybe I've missed something, but the OP stated that he was considering four Lifeline gpl-6ct batteries & according to what I found online they run in the neighborhood of $400 each.
