Measuring solar yield approaching winter solstice

I need to get a temporary setup on the RV roof to measure solar yield around the winter solstice. How deeply discharged will I need to get my 85 Ah battery so that it allows pretty full production ...

Learned something new - again. Thanks!

I averaged 18.6 Ah or so just after solstice on less than perfectly sunny days. Finding the most beneficial use for all these bonus watts is high on the agenda as a hobby endeavor. Lots more power than I expected is being produced, and just wasting it after the batteries are charged seems, well, just wasteful.
