Is is possible to create a portable solar system that would power a few deep cycle batteries which would trickle charge a Tesla Model S? The load demand would be 110 volts, 15 amps for 8 hours, steady load. Can enough solar energy be created so batteries do not get fully drained? If so what would such a system include panels, batteries, etc. Forget about cost or practicality, what would a workable solution look like?

Hello Hughconn,
In order to provide enough power to charge your Tesla at 110V, 15A, for 8 hours per day, would require a large solar array.
I used the US average daily insolation value of 4.27 hrs/day.
At this insolation, you would need a 3614 W system. This would require 37 100W panels or 15 250W panels. Definitely not portable. Secondly it would require a 2508 Ahr 12V battery bank or 1254 Ahr 24V battery bank. Also adding to it not being portable.
