Do you disconnect solar from battery when your RV is not
When my trailer is idle i leave the system connected. I keep an led light on inside and have a small 12v digital timer connected that turn the light on when it''s dark and off at dawn. It draws very little power and the battery charges back up to 90% each day then goes to 13.4 float. This give the LiFePo a small workout each day.

What Happens to Solar Power When Batteries are Full: A
Understanding Solar Power Systems. When the batteries in a solar power system are fully charged, any excess electricity generated by the solar panels is usually sent back into the grid if the system is grid-tied. If the system is not tied to the grid, excess energy production would generally cause the charge controller to cease sending power to

Can a solar panel charge a battery if disconnected?
The battery voltage may always be connected to the SCC. The "12V disconnect" may only disconnect the loads from the battery. The solar could keep on charging the battery when you have disconnected the loads. It does look like you have no power from the solar panels. You will need to follow the wires up to the panels.
Why is my solar battery not charging?
This is especially evident when DC loads are not drawing power from the battery. It is important to note that this behaviour is normal and not a fault. To determine the battery's state of charge (SoC), check the battery monitor (if available) or inspect the charge stage indicated by the solar charger.
Why is my solar charger off?
When the solar charger is off, the VictronConnect app shows this on the status screen. Click the "Why is the charger off?" text for a pop-up window with an explanation and possible remedies. The reasons why the solar charger is off: There is insufficient PV power. Refer to the PV voltage too low subchapter.
Why is my solar charger unresponsive?
The solar charger is unresponsive (inactive) if the display is not illuminated, there is no charging activity, and it is not communicating with the VictronConnect app via Bluetooth or the VE.Direct port. If the unit is active, the display is active or can communicate with the VictronConnect app via Bluetooth or the VE.Direct port.
Why does my solar panel light not light up?
The screen will not light up and the indicator light will not light up if the solar regulator does not detect the solar input. If the solar input is unstable or the pressure is too high, the solar panel light will blink yellow or red to indicate that the solar input is not stable.
Why does my solar charger only show voltage and power readings?
If the solar charger only shows voltage readings and omits current and power readings, it indicates that the current monitoring is bypassed due to a potential PV negative being mistakenly connected to the battery negative. To rectify this, make sure to connect the PV negative to its respective terminal instead of the battery negative. 8.11.2.
