So, they would have to charge a bank of batteries, then you'd need an inverter to convert DC to AC. You need to find what your peak wattage is (consumption) and how long you want to run things for and work backwards from there. Suffice to say, a roof-full of panels probably won't be enough.<br><b>References : </b><br> Solar panels produce DC electricity, not AC.
