The big advantage of solar is its ability to actually bring the house to 100% SOC.
A noisemaker is usually secured at 85-90% SOC as that last 10% takes "forever".
Happily some days solar works many many hours silently bringing the house set back up.
With a large bank the service life of 85% SOC vs 100% SOC could easily pay for a solar panel or two, and a charge controller.
AS a buck a watt is getting more common , why not?
