One thing with the DC-DC is you can set its output voltage and do the same with your solar controller's to get them about the same so they add their amps while you are driving.
With ordinary alternator charging in newer vehicles, the alternator voltage gets lower than the solar's, and you mostly only see what the solar is doing.
On my 2019 Chevrolet 2500HD the charging voltage stays at a constant 14.4 it never changes, so newer vehicles are not all the same.
