W&C, not trying to be confrontational, I was in a grumpy mood when I posted, sorry.

Solar panels still perform in daylight but at a greatly reduced rate.
If you solar is big enough and your load is small or infrequent enough you can (as you have shown) run a useful system in daylight.
However the fact remains that the winter output of solar is very small compared to the rated output of the panels.

Although you haven't stated size of your solar panels or your load I was left to assume that in your case the batteries fed most of the load for the probably short time you had it on and then the solar slowly replenished this power over the rest of the day.

I don't know what post I said that on, I didn't delete or edit it but I probably did say it somewhere. I should qualify: Running a typical kitchen cooker off solar would require a system that is probably well beyond the budget of most preppers, however there are small cookers that could be run off a reasonably sized solar system. Can you share what cooker you are using?

I certainly agree with your point that there are too many people who post personal opinion as though it were fact.
I do not consider you one of these.
