The solar panel is wired through the Sargent power unit.

Re: Solar power
Do you have a solar panel?
If the sun is shining there should be some available power to charge your batteries, but if the battery voltages are high, equivalent to being fully charged, you're not going to see much charge amps going to the batteries. It would be like force feeding someone who is already full, you'd soon be sick. What are your battery voltages?
Nevertheless seeing zero solar charge is suspicious.

Re: Solar power
Too late now to check but tomorrow turn on a few lights to bring the voltage down a little and see if the meter shows anything then
