So now I'm looking at buying ten batteries for $700. In series they'd give me 100ah and I'm thinking About buying twenty of them.

You should bill the guy who sold you the deep cycle as a starting battery.. Now the good news.

If it's a Marine/Deep Cycle (not a true deep cycle) it should work.. If it does not,, Try cleaning the connections (This fixes mine every couple of years) as Marine/Deep cycle are really starting batteries, Just not rated for below freezing weather (Still work though).

The engine battery should be a regular starting battery though. Deep cycle are designed for a slower (relative to total capacity) discharge... Of course, since a pair of six volt is like over three times a group 24 capacity wise.....

The starter load on the house is a "Slow discharge".

Here's a link to help you with the Solar question.

The 12volt Side of Life Part 2

About one third of the way through it talks about Solar. You may get some useful information from the article.
