I found it to be a very worthwhile effort. 400 watts of panels, 400aH of AGM batteries, a Victron 100/30 controller and a battery monitor, 2000w inverter, wires, panel mounts . . . all for about $1800 on Amazon. Now I run most of my lights at night, TV is on, laptop is on, two vent fans if it's hot, furnace fan if it's cold, weather radio plugged in, cell booster running, microwave for multiple meals, phone charger, camera battery chargers, vacuum cleaner charger, drill charger - and if it's sunny, I'm fully charged the next day by noon.
Just always remember - volts times amps equals watts.
