I can get a government discount of $300. I think this would run a couple of appliances and can be recharged when we are running the generator a couple of hours in the evening when we get back from site seeing.
What do you think?
It looks like a 100 AH battery with 20A controller (aka charger) to be used with solar panel, but no solar panel. $1000 for this (after rebate) is way too much. Besides, people already told you that you can't rely on solar in your situation, so why paying for controller? Get an extra 100 AH battery for $150, and charge it from generator or shore power when you can.
