Default Charging batteries simultaneously with both solar and wind

If the wind gennie is pushing current into the batteries why would we
care if the solar panels loaf? Once the wind gennie output drops off
the solar panels will push current...
But, if we do care, then we need to adjust the wind gennie down below
14 volts, or put a diode in series with the gennie output to drop it a
volt, or so, at the battery...
