Let me know what you think.
I run my netbook computer, wireless router, modem off the xantek 175 watt modified sine inverter. Battery voltage is between 12.8 12.9 volts in the morning. I run power intensive appliances when the sun is full on my panels. Batteries act as a buffer so more power is flowing into them than running out. Hopefully if I'm careful not to deplete the batteries down below 80-90% capacity they should last for another 7-10 years.
