With solar you size it based on where you are and amount of potential sun that location would get. I agree more panels are better. There's also power consumption in any of the charging equip plus invertors if used. Also there are AGM type batteries (think that's it) which are better for solar than cat batteries. Been awhile since I researched this going on senior brain cells :-)
