No, they work together with no problems. I rewired my TT's internal charge controller to its own AC breaker (I had 2 spare spaces for breakers) and I turned my TT's internal charger off, once I saw that the 250 watt panel was enough to charge the batteries without the need from the TT's unit. That was May of 2012. I have not turned on the TT's unit since then. Saves a few $$$ at home also, so I don't have to pay the Electric company.
Just make sure that you put fuses between the panel(s) and Solar charge controller and a fuse between the Solar charge controller and the batteries. I installed 30 amp ANL fuses. I also installed a disconnect switch between the panel and the solar charge controller. You can see my wiring diagram by clicking on the link below.
