Solar is just a way to extend the time between generator/charger recharging. IE before the battery reaches the low point you pick before you must recharge it. That low point is lower with Li as has been discussed. 30-80% is a 50AH range
"Effective" would be defined as whether it extends the time enough. "Enough" might be defined as from Friday to Tuesday if the object is a long weekend with no generator. A full-timer would have to decide how long is enough. If the gen is being used anyway, the value of solar drops.
