I am busy accumulating parts, plus recommendations, for installing a solar system on the roof of our vintage camper shell. The panels I plan on installing are these, from SanTan, which we’ll pick up when we visit friends this winter:

Are there any concerns about these? I am also looking for advice on a good MPPT controller(80 amp?)
Would appreciate advice for choosing a quality controller, battery charge indicator, inverter, as well as sockets, power inlets, etc. I am planning on using marine grade for parts mounted on the exterior. I will build a cabinet on the interior of the camper shell to contain all these components, plus 12 volt sockets, and a 110 volt outlet , and battery charge status indicator in the door of the cabinet. Also, an exterior 12 volt socket and 110 volt receptacle on camper shell.
I also want to be able to charge my battery bank using either our portable inverter generator , or shore power, hopefully mounting inlets for these on the exterior of the camper shell. Can anyone give me specific parts that would work?
I appreciate any help. This being my first install, I want to avoid mistakes and use quality components from the start. Thanks.
