Ive been thinking, how many solar panels would I need to run 250 watts of continous equipment running? Would be my heater, powerheads and kessil led.

Im thinking 6 - 100 watt panels.
 
The expense is going to be all the storage batteries and inverter to power the equipment when the sun is not shining.

There are lots of sites with solar system sizing calculators....I would check them out. 6 100 watt panels is only 1/2 your 24 hour load or so

Cheers!
