Recharging via generator and/or solar panels
Since I have both options, from a power management perspective, since the 120W folding panel has diodes... must I only run one, or the other, and have a complete disconnect of the input from the solar...

OK, next power generation management question.
Assume I look at the weather forecast, and it's going to be cloudy most of the mid day... and I'm looking at getting maximum efficiency our of my measly 120 Watt 17.2 volt portable solar panel, and I am at 75% OC of 225Amps with 2 GC2 batteries.
If I bypass the controller, and run straight off the set of 120W panels on that cloudy day only, what's the worst case that can happen running straight from the panel to the battery on that cloudy day?
