Yes, you can plug your solar generator directly into the shore power inlet. The problem with using your shore power inlet is the power loss of converting from DC to AC, and then some back to DC via your converter back into your house battery. There is some substantial power loss in that process.
If you have a large capacity solar generator, it is not an issue, but if you have a smaller one the loss is substantial. IMO, you are far better off just attaching the device to your DC system or directly connecting to your AC appliances via an extension cord. As to your unit, I am not family with its specs
