short back story
unhooked the solar controller (sunforce 30amp solar controller). been doing work on the van. and today got to hook up the solar again so my house batteries will start charging again.
solar array straight to solar controller. using a multimeter, my 400watt panels are reading 18.89volts, and something like .05 amps (seems low). This was at 5 pm in california, with plenty of light on the panels.
From the solar controller, i have wires straight to my house battery bank.
I hooked up per directions of the solar charger manual.
The solar array is reading the batteries voltage, and thats it. It has LED indicators that show if I am solar charging, and the condition of the battery. None of these are lighting up. 2 weeks ago, with the same setup, things worked perfect. It shows Im getting no current (0.0amp), but will read the battery voltage.
thoughts?
