How long to recharge four batts from what to "full" ? How long is a piece of string? :)
Say you got down to 50% on the four batts (440 AH say) so to get to "full" you need to replace 220AH plus some for heat loss say 240AH to get to "full"
One 130w panel can do 8.2a aimed at a high sun, but how long is the sun high in a day in winter at your latitude? and will you keep aiming it all day? There are tables you can find for how much solar to expect in your area for all times of year. Let's say you can get average of 6 amps for 6 hours =36AH per 130w panel at your place in winter.
240/36 x 130 is 867w. That is crazy huge. So you can't get there from here. You can get part of the way but don't expect solar to do it all. Best you can hope for is to get "some" solar and hope like heck the power comes back on soon! :(
