The biggest thing you need to know is how a solar system basically works. The inverter pulls its power from the 12volt batteries and inverts it to from DC to AC. The solar panels recharge the batteries.
It can take a while to put the charge back into the batteries through solar. So, if you are going to run heavy wattage AC appliances then you need a larger battery bank if you are going to run those appliances for longer periods of time. Likewise if you have a larger battery bank you will need more solar panels to get closer to fully charging those batteries in one day of daylight.
