I don't know if OP's inverter supports it (looking at the manual real quick shows that it should), but the one I have will let you set any loads to use the battery when it's fully charged. Then set a point when it'll switch off battery, say 90%, and use the excess solar (after loads) to charge the battery again. So keeping the battery between 90%-100%, while still using most of the solar.

I don't have any loads setup on mine because I don't want to run cables everywhere like that, so my battery just sits fully charged until I need it.
