I oversized the solar because we live in the Pacific Northwest and are subject to low winter sun and lots of cloudy, rainy days.
This really does make a big difference. Example, North Carolina coast, with 0 shade. in July 200W was enough for us to boondock, but in September we would need to run the 2K generator every day for an hour so to break even. the following fall we ran 30% more solar in same campsite and everything was OK.
Even in Central FL I was using a 100w panel to keep an RV charged that was parked under a cover. In the winter I would have to tilt the panel to have enough charge but in dead of summer the flat panel was enough.
