Solar questions

Hi folks
I am putting solar power on my 42ft Raptor coach. We will be full timing with a lot of boondocking. I am sending this post to find out what some of you have done. There are so many brands and kits out there that I have gotten overwhelmed. I am looking for a 3000 watt inverter/charger and supporting solar panel system that will keep my 4 batteries charged. Some of the brands I've looked at have several kits. Has anybody used any of those kits? I am confused about panel watts and how many to install. I have a friend who installed a GO Power! System with 4 panels. Does anyone else have experience with this company? I also have looked at AIMS Solar but have read mixed reviews. With such a diverse group of people, some of you out there must have the knowledge and technical wisdom to help me out. Thanks

We have installed several go power systems. Quality seems very good and directions are straight forward for the DIY’r.

I have aims 3 k inverter that works for me . Get the on off plug in switch for the aims inverter. I would have though the switch would have come with the inverter . Your correct there are way to many inverters to review them all.
