many thanks

Do you mean a motor or generator?
Is the turbine driving a motor or a generator?
I know that motors can generate and generators can motor.
If you are driving a generator then connect in parallel if both DC and same voltage output!!!
What do you expect the motor to do? Connect it to the solar panel (correctly) and it will rotate. that does not charge a battery.
Do you expect to use the motor as a generator? That works only with a few types of motors, so you should check that.
Guessing, (and you really should provide full information), you want to charge the battery with both the solar panel and the generator, which is being spun by some sort of turbine. Is that correct?
