I opted for an Edge 1040 non-solar for that reason.
edit: The Edge 540 has somewhere around a 26-hour battery life non-solar, according to Garmin. Hence the thought that the solar addition does not really contribute as much as the upcharge requires (assuming not on sale).
But since this unit is on sale already, it is not a bad way to get a very reliable unit with 2023 technology and software.
You either ride enough that getting 40 minutes out of 3 hours means something or you don't ride that much and you probably don't need this high end of a unit with or without solar.
I also think I wasn't articulate in how I made my point and it came off wrong.
Course guidance is the important part, and you can get a good bike computer that handles that very well for much cheaper than even $350 let alone retail of $450 on the new Garmin.
You ride enough that the solar is going to have a measurable difference in making sure you don't run out of battery. You probably do really well at recharging, cleaning and maintained on your bike but that doesn't mean everyone is always so diligent in charging. 90 mile training rides multiple days a week IS going to help the new Garmin stay charged.
Not sure if that helps clarify my point or not. But basically, if someone only needs basic bike computer stuff, this machines already more than they need regardless of the solar.
