Hi,
Yes to the battery bank, but 200 watts is not going to be nearly enough if you wish to eliminate generator use. It will help a bit. You might harvest 1 kwh per day under ideal conditions.
Solar systems are generally hooked up to the battery bank.

I understand how the inverter hooks to the batteries. Let me rephrase things a little. Can I build a 200 watt solar system and plug it directly into the camper outlet and run it like usual. I realize that many things will have to be shut off inside the camper to avoid draining the batteries. I just want to know if it will technically WORK and if so, how is the efficiency of the solar system affected by running into the camper electrical system. Thanks.
