 > 250Ah of battery with 360W solar. It really depends how often you run everything.
-I have a 70L DC dual compartment fridge, some LED lighting, a fan, a water pump, and run an induction cooktop off an inverter to cook (10 minutes only a day at low power). -- dsuliuno((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/fjqgb5/tell_me_about_your_solar_setup/fkp4620/))

 > I have 520 watts on the roof of my 2008 Chevy Express Cargo. I think I could fit another 260watt panel up there.  Joseph_Grey((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=28241&pid=356881#pid356881))
+> I'm running 480W solar with a 24V 250Ah battery. Most things will run practically indefinitely. Fridge, lights, fan, tv, gas heater, phone/laptop all sip a couple percent per day. Depending how sunny it is the panels can charge up to ~80% on a good sunny summer day. What I do need to ration is use of the induction cooktop and microwave. Either of those running is closer to the scale of 1% per couple minutes. So it's a balancing act between how much I cook and how sunny it is. So far I haven't come close to draining the battery, but I've got more battery capacity than most and haven't lived in it for a span longer than 2 weeks at a time. - A4W_Squiggles((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/g35mji/opinions_on_solar_power/fnpg0g3/))
