    Solar how to know how much I need?

    200 watts on roof will keep batterys charging during good daylight but they will not keep up to demand 24/7 as there will be a loss at night which may not be fully recovered during day,so a few days or so and a engine charge over a few hrs run should bring them up again to full charge.
