As a general rule I wouldn’t take it much below 50% as if you do drop it lower on a regular basis it can damage the battery life.
 
The panel allows it to discharge down to 20% before it shuts down the consumers. Battery life is a function of depth of discharge and number of cycles, you get fewer cycles the deeper you discharge. Over discharging ,<10%, can permanently damage the battery. A bit more info on that attached.
