Ok it's not difficult, but it can be kind of disappointing. Simply count up your amps. Group 24 bataries typically have about a 95 standing amp capacity. 2 batteries=190 amps. Now your 500 watt ac load is bit confusing to me, If you a true 12 volt dc compressor drawing 500 watts that's about 5 amps per hour or just under 40 hours of operation. Now if the compressor is 110 volt and is being run through an inverter than that hour rate has been pretty much cut in half (about 17 hours tops). The question to be asked is how big are the solar panels? That's what will determine how fast the re-charge is
