Based on the specs, if you used the inverter at capacity, 1500watts, you'd be flat in about 15 minutes. Recharge would then take 16-24 sun hours, which amounts to 3-4 days maybe depending on conditions at 10amps max, although it will never achieve it with an 80w solar panel, the best you could hope for would be 4-5. The most I see on some 90-100 watt panels at times is 5.

I agree, build it yourself, or keep shopping.
