FYI Basic Solar Kit from Costco
Seems like a good DIY deal with all you get. 4 100w polycrystalline panels, 2000w PSW inverter, and looks like a Xantrex Trace C35Amp controller. http://www.costco.com/.product.100111497.ht...

FYI, solar hot water heating is now required by code on Oahu, HI. The electric rates are unbelievable.
A 2000W inverter may not be overkill for an RV'er that wants to run a refrigerator, you have to have enough power to get past the lock rotor draw. It would be in the range of occasional microwave use, too. The Xantrex Prowatt 1800W inverter draws .8 amps at idle. A Prowatt 900W draws .6 amps.
