Start with an energy audit. Decide how much reserve capacity you want. From that design the battery bank. Build a solar panel system that will recharge the battery bank.

This is the proper way to go about it.

I prefer to max out the solar and deal with the consequences.
Solar is so inexpensive today there is no reason to aim for the minimum.

Which is why I recommend the largest capacity charge controller that one can fit the budget. There are at least 2 100 amp controllers available.
