Solar panels

Hi all,

I have a question that I couldn't find a better place for. When you install solar panels onto the roof of an RV, do they automatically kick in if you're connected to electric? For example, let's say you have solar panels and are staying at an RV park in, say, Florida, for three months at the monthly rate (which doesn't include electricity). If the RV is plugged into electric, will the solar panels do all the work until they're exhausted, and the shore power only pick up the slack when necessary, thereby saving money on electricity? Or will the presence of shore power override the solar panels?
