What size of solar panel did you go with? And what monitor?
Panels are 100watt each using a Morningstar Sunsaver MPPT controller. I added the remote panel and temperature compensation. Panel size is 23X52"
I needed panels that were narrow so I could work up on the roof so here is what I did:

These are great panels:
