However, does it also prevent the solar system from charging the batteries? My solar system is small, but I would think it could overcome parasitic losses if operating. Any advice would be appreciated!

Usually the solar panels are wired directly to the batteries through a charge controller. The solar charging system does not include the chassis battery disconnected (use/store switch).
