When on the road with engine running, does the solar system typically still charge the battery? Does Solar help with load when you are plugged into Shore Power, etc?
 
Yes, solar still works as it's a charger. It knows float, bulk etc. at least with the Victron I have. In my case the BMS manages all of the charging sources. You configure your solar charger just like you configure your inverter.
