eric,
It gives you control over whether there will be charging or not. Personally I'd put a dc to DC charger in.
I've got a bunch of testing to do before I get to that point but it is a very good option. The purpose of the solar was to augment the woefully low alternator output so maybe if the switch cuts off alt output to the house, it might not be a big deal.
But to drive home how little I know about the present system, is the solenoid the lower of the two canisters in my photo?
EDIT: Nevermind. That's the Auxiliary Battery Disconnect.
