Terrol, as Zack said, it depends on your rig. We have the Super Solar system. It has 1200 watts of solar and 540 ah of lithium batteries, two 50 amp solar charge controllers and a 3000 watt inverter. We do not have a residential refrigerator, so that helps us significantly. We can run AC for a few hours. But, 1200 watts is not capable of keeping up with AC. A good first step would be to add a good battery monitor like the Victron 712 to track your power. And, since there will be cloudy days, don’t forget to add a generator to cover those days. Best of luck. On sunny days, we can run everything but the AC including furnace and stay above 90% charge at the end of a sunny day.
