Is a composting toilet an option?

3 months of summer my s/o and I go to the mountains of SW Virginia. A little bit of peace and quiet. We have 12 acres. None of which will perk. either to rocky to steep or too close to our stream. County said we have to put in an alternative system. A septic processing sewer system that flows back into the stream. Supposed to be clean enough to drink? $500 for a permit $2000 for an engineer just to find out how much the system cost. Could be up to $40000 Dollars!!! Wow. So we use solar panels batteries and generator. Solar is new to me not sure im doing it right. Looking for suggestions. I use 700 watt hours @12 volt DC. And 200 inverted for tv phone charger and nebulizer. About 12 cents a day if it were from poco. Last year it rained 27 days of August. I have 600 watts of mppt solar a 2000 generator a 45 amp iota charger and a 416 amp hr 12 volt battery. The way I ran the system when the batteries were at 70% soc I'd run the generator early each morning bring the batteries to 90% . Then hope for sunshine that didn't come. So once a week I'd charge to 100% . When the days were sunny in June I only get 4 hours direct sun on the panels. Trees and mountains blocking. I found I still needed to run the generator for an hour or so for bulk and let the solar finish. Any suggestions or criticism on how Im doing this would be appreciated.
