IF you want to run your microwave from your batteries and recharge them via solar, then you will likely need:

- And a 200 to 300 watt (minimum) solar system (and plan to use power conservatively at that)
This type of system works well ..... for me. But you best verify that this is really what you want before jumping in as it isn't cheap to do.
