How, Heather,
Back out of here and slip into the "Techies" section of the forum. Up the top of the page is a section all about Solar. It was set up to keep all that stuff together and help people like yourself to get set up properly. Very good advice there.

What Doug said is spot on
I generally look to have as much or more in solar watts as I have in battery amp/hours.
eg, I have 330 amp hours of battery and 480 watts of solar and usually have no issues with sufficient power.
