I'd do a lot of research on this (which you are), as your electrical demands will be fairly high. As an example, I just ordered solar for my house that I"m building, and it's a lot more than 1 panel at 75 watts. And even at that, the installer was concerned because my father is on 24/7 oxygen and the machine that concentrates it out of the air is on full time, which means a constant pull on the inverter and draw on the batteries.

Good luck with your endeavors, I totally understand wanting to get off the grid.
