Orion tr smart dc to dc charger

Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A , seem set up to have input from a battery bank being charged with an alternator. My primary battery bank is charged by the auxiliary’s engine alternator when we are under power but for most of the time at anchor or under sail it is charged by 400 watts of solar through a Victron mppt. My query is if I set up a Orion dc to dc charger between my input battery bank and the charged battery which is a single lithium ( which I use for running my inverter needs) will the Orion function while I’m at anchor with engine alternator off but 400 watts of solar pouring into the input bank . I am guessing that As the Orion can be configured to turn on and charge at a certain input battery voltage it doesn’t care whether that voltage is from an alternator or solar panel
