I should have started out by talking about some of the design philosophy, but I wanted to jump into the details first to entice you, dear readers.  

We like to boondock and moochdock a lot, and we don't like to run our generator all the time, and so the motivation here was to have a sizable energy system that is easy to use in practice and that permits considerable flexibility in how much and how often we have to burn diesel or find a power pole.

In a temperate climate, where air-conditioning is not needed, my estimate is that we should be able to run about four days before we need to recharge.  If we have average solar insolation, we should be able to run more than a week before we get low.

In a hot climate, I am estimating air-conditioning at 4 units * 50% duty cycle * 8 hours, which means we would need to recharge every 36 hours.  (If the climate is worse than that, I don't want to be there very long, to be honest!)

With good solar insolation, we should be able to hold off on that recharge until the next day, or about 48 hours.

With shade and some conservatism, we may be able to go as long as 3.5 days while still running some air-conditioning and all other normal loads.

On any 15A outlet, or better, except in the most extreme cases, we should be able to last a minimum of 7 days.

We can fully charge the pack off the genset in about 2.5 to 3 hours.  Or, under the typical scenarios described above, we could choose to top it off during the lunch hour every day, for example.
