I bump around the desert full time in my truck camper. Every few months the 17-18 watts and 4 amps from panel stops dead at controller, so I do soft and hard resets and connection checks down to batteries and it fixes it.
But the shutdowns were getting more frequent and now nothing works no matter what I try. The battery is now below 12v and I have no idea what to do. Batteries are good, say parts store. Inverter seems fine and I tried switching controllers but still won’t receive charge from panel.
I should add that my panel glass shattered and totally spidered almost two years ago though the surface is still smooth to the touch and still puts out 18-17v and 4a from wire tips.
There is also a cutoff between batteries and controller to power inside and outside lights, which work.
Any guesses? Thanks.
