3 point charging on Goal Zero Yeti 6000x
Ideally I would like to connect the Goal Zero (in a van build) with a 3 point charging:
- alternator (using yeti link)
- solar array (using HPP input)
- shore power using the provide power adapter
The issue is that both the solar array and the shore power plug in into the only available HPP input (600W max).
How do you guys get around that ? I know one can alternate charge and solar charge at the same time... so I was kinda of expecting to be able to shore charge (120V plugged-in) and solar charge at the same time, but that does not feel like it's possible ?
And in order not to have to tinker with connections on the Goal Zero when at shore, I was then thinking of using some sort of automatic transfer switch to give priority to the shore power when plugged in and disconnect the solar array ?
Thoughts on that ? Other alternatives ? Thx.

I think most folks just unplug the solar when they want to hook up to shore power. Not ideal but it truly is the only way. For sure a bummer if you are trying to just have it set up without having to touch it.
