yes with a cheap controller

200 watts into 100 amp-hours is overkill, unless the bank is really that small. I'd go 60 to 150. It would be nuts to boondock with just 100 amp-hours.

75-300 watts - medium
Overkill on the 300, again assuming bank is only 100 amp-hours. The range between 75 and 300 is too wide.

230-400 watts - medium large
Overkill on both ends for 100 amp-hours, a good size for 350 amp-hours

350-800 watts - large
Just right for 232 amp-hours, but overkill on the 800 watts. 800 could service over 1300 amp-hours. Too much range between the two numbers. A much larger controller would be required for 800.
