I agree with Ron again. Yes, you can decide to go "All dyno" or "All solar". Those are both viable options if they supply all of your power needs.
But if you have already decided to buy and carry a battery bank (of some size)...then the small amount of power you get from solar (or even a dyno) isn't cost or weight efficient compared to just bringing a larger battery bank to cover ALL your power needs for the entire trip. So don't buy a too small battery and try to supplement it. Buy a battery that meets your needs and Just Ride.
