Don't forget the load terminal of a Victron MPPT is very flexible too, worth using for at least the battery protection if possible.
The terminal is capable of switching the same load as the charger is rated for so of you're fusing the small inverter at 10A that could work, depends how long the memory of the timer lasts without power as you head into shorter winter days.
Must get on with my shed project, I'm trying to hunt down some decent 12v festoon lighting to run, most seem to be either very "Christmas Decoration" style or 24v.
These seem the sort of thing but these seem a bit spendy as I might need a few sets
