Agreed! My sizing was based on my willingness to take generator to the site if there was no charging for 4.5 days (which I never had to do last winter, but last winter seemed nicer than ones prior - I'm in Western SD). Chucks battery sizing will at least double that run time and probably more (depending on battery temp) and the additional panels will charge them more quickly after extended run down.

Chuck is saying 1000 watts, which would be 4 x 250 watt panels, but keep in mind I'm figuring load on the high side to be safe.

You could probably get away with 500 watts of panels, like Jesse said, but if you want to be sure it's never going to have problems, go with Chuck's numbers.

Most people will tell you to figure about 6 watts each for Ubiquiti radios... I typically see close to for 4 watts average on ours, but it's better to err on the high side, so I'd plan for about 50 watts on that setup.
