Assemble a 500W system by connecting panels in series (4x12V=48V) or parallel (match inverter current); use MPPT charge controllers (95% efficiency) to optimize input; mount at 30-45° tilt for sunlight; pair with 600-700W inverter (85%+ efficiency); test with multimeter .

The required panel watts = 1280Wh ÷ 10h = 128W Also, consider the charging efficiency of your solar system, which depends on both the battery chemistry and the type of solar charge controller used.
