You can use as big a panel as you like. You will need to match the panel's output to a suitable charge controller which will really be the determining factor on size. 100 - 150 watt panels are often used on RVs. It's a much better deal on a watts-per-dollar basis to buy a larger 60 cell panel like is normally installed on a house. These are often half the cost (watts-per-dollar) than "RV panels".
With a larger home panel you will need an MPPT charge controller rated for it's voltage and current.
For the wire I would use tray cable, PV wire, or rubber cord, in that order of preference.
