2021 Ocean Drive fitted with Schaudt CSV 409 charging system

I have a 100w portable solar panel, can I connect the output wires from the charge controller from the panel to the Solar input on the Schaudt, or should I connect direct to the leisure battery?

Anyone here done it please?

Thanks!

The solar input on the csv409 is designed to accept the input from a compatible solar controller (lrm1218 or similar). Unless you plan on installing one you should attach directly to the battery. I presume your portable solar panel has a solar controller included on the setup; either mounted on the panel, or better, installed close to the battery.

That's how I've done it and it works fine.
