You should determine exactly what you want to accomplish using solar first. By that I mean what your electrical needs will be. Are you just looking to have coffee in the morning or do you want to have access to much more. Based upon what your needs will be then determine the size and type of components you will need to accomplish. In general you will need a battery with sufficient amp hour capacity to provide the power you need. You will need an inverter to convert the DC battery current to AC current for your AC loads. You will also need a solar charge controller to manage converting the solar energy your panel absorb to recharge your batteries. Lastly you will need ample solar panels to provide enough amperage to charge your previously sized batteries.
