Default Re: I did a solar thing.....

What is the voltage of the solar panel output.

Check it with a meter not connected to anything.

Also if the battery is a higher voltage than the panel the batter will SEND power to the solar panel. Usually diodes block that backwards flow.

Also the panel is best facing the sun like PS does on the ones of the telephone poles. On boat since you're moving that may take constant adjusting.

Check the UN connected open circuit voltage and PM me. We can troubleshoot it over the phone.
