PT, sorry for your bad luck with generators (and inverters).
On equalizing as a measure of solar required, most folks would never have to do that on solar. They can equalize other ways--such as when on shore power from time to time.
Why tell somebody they need so much solar to just go camping? All they need is a way to stretch out the time before their batteries get down too far before going home and plugging in.
There is no sense in advising people to put more solar on the roof and forget the portable solar, when their scenario is that the roof is under trees and the portable is set out where it can catch some rays.
If somebody is adding solar and wants to use a second controller with the added solar, instead of tossing his existing set-up, why not? It works.
It is all situational for what is the best advice.
