Solar Kit
Just received my kit. 2 100w panels with a 30a pwm controller. Hoping it will recharge my 2 GC2's. I am alone in the trailer and power use is min. Any thoughts?

Will there be any confusion between solar & gen while running the gen? Do I need a transfer switch?
The solar controller and the converter will be in parallel on the battery bank. They do not interfere with each other and will add their amps at times.
Only need a fuse at the battery pos for the solar. No need between panel and controller, but it is useful to have a disconnect switch there, and some use a fuse as their switch.
