You can never have too much solar. More is better. See sig for my setup.

In the case of solar bigger and more is better. We add a panel per year. This year we will be at about 1 Kwatt (1000watts). Other than Air conditioning we can function off grid indefinetly under almost any conditions. We are almost out of room on the roof and the controller is getting close to its 50 amp max so that'll be where it ends. At 0630 in the morning we are already at 10 amps peaking to a max of 39 amps around lunch and back down under 10 amps around 0730 at night. Gotta love those long Canadian summer days.

The difference is 30w. You will need to determine your power usage, storage capacity, other charging means, the amount of space you have to mount panels and how much you are willing to spend on solar to answer your other question.
