I am starting to design a house that I would like to build in the near future and I am considering an off-grid solar power system. I just dont really understand electrical stuff really good when it comes to this. This would be my setup. I would of course have some solar panels, then they would be going to the charge controller, then to the batteries. Then from the batteries would be a dc-to-ac inverter. my question is, would it possible to run a 1200 watt microwave if I only had an 800 watt solar system? Now I am pretty sure I would have to have at least a 1200 watt inverter, but does the solar system also need to be at least 1200 watts or could it be less than that since the power is not coming straight from the panels. Im not really sure what i need to be looking for here. Im sure it also depends on the batteries too. If anyone has any helpful links I would appreciate that too. Thanks for any help.

Printable plastic solar cells will bring solar power to the mainstream at $0.10 per watt. Light weight, flexiblity and high efficiency are the traits of this new breed of solar power. Meanwhile old school large scale solar powered generators continue to work in other part of the world.
