My solar panels are both 170 watts.  Their primary function is to allow me to run my work computer when the power goes out, which it does more often than I'd like.  They can also run all other 120v things in my trailer except the AC, fireplace, and microwave, thanks to a 2000w inverter, but I typically leave them unplugged during a power outage since even an appliance that's off can pull a significant amount of electricity.  I also have a 1500w inverter that's connected to 12v but not to any interior wiring, which I have as a backup.  The fridge works off 12v and doesn't drain the battery too much during the night.  That's probably the largest power draw on the 12v line.

I'm also looking into a generator for an in-window AC that I have.  It won't keep the trailer cool but it will keep the living room temperature down to 100 to 110 on really hot days.

So, I'm not really looking for comfort.  Just a way to keep working since, as a contractor, every hour I spend idle is an hour I don't get paid.
