Your bus bar is going to need to be whatever the maximum draw of ALL the things connected to it PLUS about 20% overhead for safety. As an example, a 24v 3Kw inverter will be able to draw over 150a on its own. If you add in 30a worth of DC fuse block and devices you'll need 150a + 30a = 180a +20%. Fortunately bus bars come in pretty standard sizes so the next model up should be a 250 or 300 size bus bar which is likely sufficient.
 
AVOID the cheap Chinese "pair kits" they are crap. Stick to REAL proper heavy busbars... There are many from Victron, BlueSea, Pike Industries (my fav).

See this video - its self-explanatory.
