Hi,
I am in the middle of converting a transit van into a campervan. I have purchased a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A DC-DC Isolated Charger kit and would like to add some solar charging in as well.
Am I able to add a Victron Energy SmartSolar 75/15 MPPT kit straight to my existing set up? And would it trickle charge my starter battery once the leisure battery is fully charged?
Links to the kits are below:

Thanks!

Now I’ve looked into it further, it seems that I am wrong. Looks like I would need the CTEK D250SE to be able to do this. I haven’t installed any of the DC to DC kit yet, so may be a case of returning everything and starting from scratch with a CTEK!
