Any clues as to a solar setup for a 14 x 66 mobile home? Have r-49 insulation in attic, r-19 under floor, belive r-ii in 2walls. Thinking of this as a back-up setup when grid goes down, I want to run refrigerator, furnace blower, lights, cell phone charger, a couple of fans, maybe one ac unit. don't need to run well pump, washer or dishwasher. Any ideas? Furnace is less than 5 year old 80000 btu Miller burning k-1. thanks!

You probably want a diesel generator but if you want solar:
Mobile means low cost so you will need to check the roof loading through a structural engineer.
What direction does the roof face?
Do you have room for the storage system?
Assuming a south facing roof with no penetrations you might fit 24 panels at 300 watts for a 7.2kW STC system. At 3.70/watt your looking at $27,000 before storage (12-15k)
A generator is cheaper unless you really want solar and have great incentives available
