Oh, I agree with that. I Was just saying it wouldn't be as much as it would it were just the panel. I was also saying that if the alternator had to run at low load it would be more of quadratic function approaching its peak. So with the panel it would be efficient-(more load than panel)- slightly more efficient than normal-(normal load for alternator plus additional load that panel meets) most efficient fuel to power conversion from the alt and then it decreases again on the other side.
Um i'm saying its like changing the final gear ratios on you trans. You have to go a little faster(use more power) to stay in the sweet spot(peak alt performance shifted to peak performance drain plus panel power).
