So you don't even mess with a charger, just the alternator?

"Short answer - any reasonably smart controller will have a high voltage cutoff which is generally set to lower than what the alternator will put out. When the battery gets higher than this, the controller simply shuts off. I've had my solar setup hard wired to my back battery for a couple of years now and it still plays nicely with my alternator."
