They all co-exist
- The solar array and solar controller are a separate operating unit wired directly to house batteries
- The Converter is NOT wired to the solar array or controller, so it continues to do what it’s meant to do when on Shore power or Genny
- The engine battery is NOT connected directly to the solar array so it continues to be charged thru the Converter when on shore power or Genny, plus the Coach engine alternator
- And the house batteries now have 4 ways to be charged...Solar, Shore power or Genny, or the Coach engine alternator
