lots of variables
life style, how much power do you use in 24hrs ?
in your ideal scenario
the solar has to be capable of supplying that during the daylight max solar hours
that means returning every ampHR+ used overnight, plus all the ampHrs being used during the day, or they will NOT be at full charge when dark comes
and it has to do this in the winter (short daylight hours) wherever you are at
technically it may be possible, there are few here that claim to do it
but how feasible it is ? well....
depends on those factors mentioned, amount of power use and size of solar array and where you 'winter' etc..
4, 5, 6 or more big batteries, are heavy and expensive, using AGM
my battereis weight 102# each, and i have (5) of them
lithium, offers about 1/5 the weight and (4) times the cost, maybe more
