 From ~80% to 100% (Absorption stage) charging requires little current but a long time holding at a relatively high voltage.  So in our alt+solar scenario the alternator does the heavy lifting in the beginning then a small solar install does the light (but lengthy) work at the end.((The solar will also contribute during Bulk when the sun is shining.)) From ~80% to 100% (Absorption stage) charging requires little current but a long time holding at a relatively high voltage.  So in our alt+solar scenario the alternator does the heavy lifting in the beginning then a small solar install does the light (but lengthy) work at the end.((The solar will also contribute during Bulk when the sun is shining.))
