If this is as you say, your power needs are minimal so your battery needs are too and your complaint is a bit odd. You’re making it sound like your overnight needs are basically lights and then you could almost get by with the minor batteries I had in my van (that were excessive). I suspect you’re not being clear with your situation
There are different setups I have thought of and tbh mostly looked at battery only. So 4kWh = £1 normally or £0.20 off peak then you are saving £0.80/day.
But yeah, solar you can also use power while the sun is shining and the batteries are 100%. Mostly looked at stuff like jackery, anker solix, ecoflow. Can you have them plugged into the mains but they will only use the mains when the battery is empty rather than using the mains to charge the battery? Then the battery doesn’t have to be as large to still benefit from it and it can balance it out a bit through the day.
Downside is that the benefits of it might be harder to calculate.
