Your solar controller will need to be wired directly to the batteries and not run through the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4135K. The converter charging your batteries is swapping AC current to DC current so adding in DC from your solar controller wouldn't work.
The converter is constantly reading the charge level of the batteries and sending the correct amount of voltage needed at the time to properly charge them. Having another source of power would just mean that the converter would see the charge and send less to the batteries.
You'll just need to wire the solar system to the batteries as if the power center isn't even there.
