I do not want to highjack this thread but I think you may need more like
1500 WDC with a lot of battery or 2000 WDC with a little less battery. The
problem with flex panels is they do not put out very much power, at least
the ones I have seen.
My 9KWatt home array has 315, 325 and 345-watt panels. They are all the
same footprint just got better as time went on. I would like to put 7 345
watt panels up there if I can figure a way to do it safely and not look too
bad.

It would be nice to be able to run a roof AC off of it.
