We have two Battle Born 100 AH batteries with 300 watts solar, automatic transfer switch and a 2,000 watt inverter. Our main intent (and the reason we don't have more batteries and solar) was to run the residential refrigerator on long travel days. The system has done very well at doing that and more. I put the thermostatically controlled heating pads on the batteries for cold weather (batteries are mounted in the enclosed but unheated front compartment/tool/battery/generator area of a fifth wheel). We have been extremely happy with the setup. I'm glad to be rid of battery maintenance and not worry about discharging the batteries all the way.
