Yeah, the largest wattage panel was 415 watts released in 2019 and it was 78 x 52 inches. But there are all kinds of panels now in the 300-400 watt range if you wanted to limit the number of panels on the roof. And, if lithium iron phosphate batteries weren't so costly, that would be the ultimate battery since they have high current charge/discharge rates and you can draw them down without killing them like lead/acid designs. I just figured that if we lost power for too long, that I would just connect to the tow vehicle and let it help maintain my batteries.
