Solar panel kits

For some reason I started looking at solar power kits tonight on amazon, then that led me to Youtube videos. Has anyone ever looked into them? It looks like they have come along way.

Watching some Youtube videos people really get into them.

If I had a camper I would load the roof up with them.

Have you ever found a calculator to determine what size system you need to run your house?  Ideally, I'd have one for the essential basics, like the freezer fridge, emergency lights.

To your point about camping.  That is the best way to work up the system.  Start with the very basics and add from there.

A whole tough would be tough. Maybe a cabin. Everything would have to be l.e.d. for sure. and you would need more storage capacity also.
