I have 200 watts of solar with an MPPT controller feeding a 225 AH battery bank (two GC-2 6v batteries).
I boondock for weeks at a time and the batteries are fully charged by early afternoon as long as it is not cloudy.
I would consider this setup and absolute MINIMUM !
Yeah, a person needs at least 600-800 watts of solar and at least a 500 AH battery bank to boondock for a few days. :B
