Hi,

I think the battery bank is on the small side for 1500 watts of inverter.

I'd build the solar for three group 29 twelve volt jars.

The smaller the battery bank the greater the wattage per 100 amp-hours of capacity needs to be.

Range of wattage:

375 amp-hours x 0.6 = 225 watts
375 amp-hours x 1.5 = 566 watts
