I still don't follow how you can tell how much of that daily draw (as seen by the solar controller) was done by solar using spare solar in the afternoon when the batteries didn't need it all.
I meant - to know daily draw of all the loads. Say, controller shows 60AH harvest in the evening, and status "Full", i.e. it went into Float - which I set very low at 1%C - and remained there most of the afternoon, and my usual daily consumption is 40. Doesn't matter how much of those extra 20 went into battery to bring the yesterday's 90-something SOC to ~100%, and how much into extra hour of laptop or cordless drill that I needed suddenly for some odd hole. The batteries were full. It's more difficult to tell the SOC when it didn't reach Abs, but this seldom happens.
