100 watts into one battery is fine. You do need a controller. For the effort I would go 100 watts minimum on solar.

If conservation is too much effort then get a second battery and another 100 watts solar.
Sounds like you really want to do the minimum and that is fine. Be mindful that overly discharging a battery will significantly shorten it's life and capacity.
