Getting there!
I’ve been offered a 200w folding panel at good price. I have a 100/20 Victron MPPT a with lithium profile option so I just need some cables and an inline fuse.

So far very straightforward … but where do I connect the output of the MPPT to?

My battery compartment looks like this. I have 4 x 80A lithium batteries plus chargers etc.

I have no solar on the roof installed as yet.

If I had a regular Hab battery setup I’d connect straight to the battery terminals or a busbar.

Agree...my portable panel has its own mppt controller that's permanently wired to the busbars...with a short cable accessible outside...I had an option to put the cable through the Electroblock..
We have some experts on here (not me) who will either correct or agree with me...but at the end of the day. You will get the right answer.
My 200w freestanding panel outstrips my 200w roof panel in winter...Good choice..

On the front of the EBL, left hand socket, it looks like the solar connector. If your don’t generate more than 16A then you should be able to use that.
Yes, just what I was thinking as well. The Shaudt input is there for that purpose and should charge both you hab batteries and engine battery at a trickle
