Perhaps you shouldn't considering you don't seem to grasp the basic math involved here. ;) With a single battery or two and a small solar panel, say 100 watts, installation is pretty elemental but once you start upgrading to a bank of batteries, a significantly sized solar panel system, a suitably sized controller, and wiring suitable for the task you really need to understand exactly what it is you're doing and why, otherwise you could end up wasting a lot of $$$$ on a system that doesn't achieve what you expect it will. :(
