To solar or not to solar? That is the question....

Don't know about your system, but mine keeps track of the battery cycles and automatically adds a finishing charge when needed.

Any solar system will automatically add charge whenever battery demands it - if solar panel can provide it, of course.

Generator-based system could do this, but not silently, and not too efficiently. Even on low output it will still make a bit of noise and consume a bit of fuel. This how they are, making noise even at 1A.
