I have a feeling that Westend does what I do, - no loads unless absolutely necessary, i.e. only fridge circuit in daytime. Then it's easy to deduce AH going to battery, given AH of controller output.

PS: thought of getting MS 45, but Don Piano steered me in another direction, and was right. Was lucky to get Rogue 30 before they stopped making it. Can change charging parameters right on the controller interface and see AH for a day or longer periods on the same display. Without computer (it has this functionality too, but I never needed it). Few years later Chinese started making controllers with this level of convenience, though not nearly as much adjustability of charging profile.
