Does that mean it's on solar power only? My solar charger goes off when it detects no battery, some less expensive ones do not.

In practice, competition between the solar charger and the converter doesn't seem to be a problem because neither charger ever does anything more than stop charging if it senses a higher-than-expected voltage coming from the other charger. You don't have to do anything to one to make it work with the other. You don't have to switch solar off when you plug in to AC or the tow vehicle.
