Hi JD, That's a fair price on the PV's. I've used Perfect Power a couple times and he gives good service and his prices are good. He's a one man shop and pretty knowledgeable of PV. As long as you stay with 12v appliances as much as you can, you will get by just great. I manualy track the sun, move once at 1pm facing west and again at dusk facing east, and don't have a problem keeping up with my usage, about 30/40AH per day. Inverters is whats sucks down the battery's, really quick. You might want to consider installing timer demand controls on your refrigerator if your going with a conventional refer. This would allow for the deforst cycle only during daylite hours and shorten night time running hours. A house will get abused alot more than a RV will (amp usage) so I personaly would not consider any less than 6-T-105's. This would allow for cloudy days. My PV's put out about 1/2 of rated AH's on cloudy days with sun tracking. Have you considered solar water heating? Not hard to make your own system, about $500 for parts if you make your own storage tank. This could take care of general HW use, bathing and clothes drying. T_Bone
