400w of solar, mppt controller, hefty battery cables, and 4 GC2 golf-cart batteries. Sam's club usually has the best price on decent batteries. The duracell labelled are East Penn batteries - Trojan T105s are 'better' but more expensive.
If you only got 3 hours out of a set of G24s, the batteries weren't fully charged. It takes all day to actually fully charge a battery. A few hours of genset won't really do it.
I have 2 GC2s, 380W of solar, a Midnight Kid controller, and a 10cuf residential fridge powered by an inverter. In sunny socal I never run out of power. Only down 30AH or so in the morning when the solar comes back online.
