Hi Wendy,
How did you come to that 220 amp-hour value?
For solar to work well (and nearly eliminate generator use) about 3 days of energy needs to be stored. Hence, do an energy audit.
If 220 amp-hours is all you need then the range of panel wattage would be between 132 watts and 330 watts. I'd lean towards the upper figure with that size of battery bank.
Here is a link to the rather special spreadsheet that N8GS has created to help size solar battery charging systems!
