Thanks Xringer.
I was going to use sealed AGM batteries so that I would not have to vent. I thought only flooded lead acid batteries need maintenance like that.

Miami is rated at about 4 1\2 peak sun hours per day, (though it seems like more!), and I just want the unit as an emergency power source for some lights, laptop, charging iPad,etc. in case power goes out from a hurricane or other event. I live in a condo and would store the unit on my balcony (which faces South), and not use it really for anything else than emergency power.

The goal is to build the unit with as much capacity possible in that space, and be the most efficient possible. I don't have a specific power load need, and i'm not worried about budget.

I was thinking of a 1000watt inverter though I know it's more than I need.
