Solar and Shore power

[Acadia]

Hi,

I have just installed a 130W solar panel on my boat. I usually plug in the boat at the dock and have the truecharge 40 at all times to keep the batteries top up. The solar charge controller is a blue sky MPPT.

I have a link 2000 with a dual shunt with one side set up to monitor the solar/wind setup. I can see that even though I am on shore power with the charger, the solar system still provides a bit of power. Sometimes the solar charge controller will show a bulk charge as opposed to float.

Is it possible that the MPPT float voltage is slightly higher than by battery charger and it gives it a bit more during the day?

Is there a problem with having shore power on at all times with a solar panel?

Just want to make sure I'm not going to ruin a part of my charging system by running both systems.

The wind gen is secured and taken switched off at the dock

Thanks

You'll hurt nothing, the solar is just regulated at a higher voltage.
if you have no electrical demands while at the dock, why not just unplug and let the solar keep up the batteries?
