Orion-tr 12/12-30 smart non-isolated with solar through engine battery

I have the dc-dc set up on the engine battery on my boat and it keeps the house batteries topped up fine. im looking to add a small amount of solar top keep the engine battery topped up when left on a swinging mooring for weeks at a time. Question is will this charge the house bank through the dc-dc charger connection as well? Engine is 80ah FLA and the House is 2x100ah FLA.

DC:DC Chargers are one way. So solar must charge the starter battery, as voltage rises, the charger will start to charge the house bank.
