You are totally fine leaving the solar charger/regulator connected all the time, that's how they are all installed. The charge from the alternator won't "go up" the wire the solar charger. It won't allow it.

When the battery is below full, the solar charger will chip in and help the charging. When it's full the solar charger will stop charging it.
