SOLAR
I am going to put solar on and I was looking to get this http://www.renogy-store.com/200W-12V-Monocrystalline-Premium-Kit-p/kit-premium200d.htm with a 40A MPPT controller or the 300W setup up to 400W....

.. so feasibly what am I looking at here, no way not to have a generator and use solar for battery charging because I don't have a lot of roof space.
There are some on this board who have no generator, but I think it's darn near a necessity. Without a generator, when the skies get cloudy you'll have to cut way back on energy use. That's not my style. I like lots 'o power. And I don't usually run my big wattage appliances directly from the generator. I use the gen to run my converter, and use the batteries/inverter to provide power.
there is a lot of roof but the clear area away from ac's and vents is about 6' x 8'
