Off grid powering the obsi

Hello everyone

Nearly finished my ROR obsi and thinking of how to power it.
Instead of digging a trench from the house for power cable I thinking
going off grid with batteries. Scored some free 12V 200Ah heavy batteries
and now looking at cheap(er) second hand solar panels and chargers, inverter. For old second hand solar panels any degradation over time?
Anyone did similar arrangements? How many batteries need to run a desktop comp and eq mount etc? Most of the chargers 30A ... any suggestions for brand? For winter how many panels need to get charged enough despite the clouds?

Thanks for any advice
Mik
