Your charge controller must handle the amperage from your panels. The standard sizing formula is: Controller Amps = Total Solar Panel Wattage ÷ Battery Voltage × 1.

The current draw from a 12V or 24V battery when running an inverter depends on the actual load, not the inverter size. A quick rule is to divide watts by 10 for 12V systems or 20 for 24V systems.

Note: Most solar panels and batteries are 12 volts, but most devices you would install at a tower use 24v or 48v, so, you will need to wire your panels and batteries in series in order to up the voltage to what you need.
