Just curious as I don't have any solar-----will this 100 watt kit keep two gp 27 batteries topped off?

I find in summer that 200w of solar is enough to keep four batts going while camping, so 100w ought to be enough for two batts. But we use more than two batts worth, so that would not work for us, we need four batts solar or not.
In cloudier times or shorter days, it is not enough. But then you can do a shot of charging with the generator powering a charger and then let solar do the rest of the recharge if there is any sunlight that day
For when not camping, just to keep the batteries from going down, it is more than enough
