Simple off grid electrical system on my boat

The boat is an Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31, from 1976.
2 x 50 watts panels
Victron MPPT 100/15 inverter.

Solar panel eksperience.
On this 3 week summer-holyday-sail i wanted to be off grid and not using shorepower at all. I had the fridge going 24/7, chartplotter averagely 2-3 hr/day, music, lights etc.
My powerbank consists of 2 x consumption AGM batteries of 70Ah each. Age is more than 6 years.
Powersource from the engine consists of 2 generators, 1 for starter battery and 1 for the 2 x consumption batteries. The last one can be switch on/off manually.
2nd power source was a 50W solid solarpanel from Biltema placed in front of the sprayhood, parallel connected to another flexible and removable 50 W panel placed on top of sprayhood. Connected to the batteries with a MPPT controller.
The solarpanels produced daily between 180-390 Wh in the last 3 weeks of july in Denmark. This was not enough to charge the batteries fully (not even on the best sunny day), but it took 13 days to ran the batteries down to 11,7 V just before sunrise. Leaving the anchorage by engine and consumption generator on for 1 hour, was enough the top on the voltage and I had enough power for the last 7 days of the trip.
I put all this information in this youtube video.
