On the control panel above the door today I noticed the vehicle battery was 12.5v the leisure battery was 100% the solar amps was +0.3mps and the batt amps was -0.5 amps.
Is this correct?
How can I check the voltage output of my solar panel please?
Than you

Looks ok to me, you won't get much charge from 100w solar panel at this time of year.
The solar regulator is in the main control panel which will require some dis-assembly to reach. As the sun moves further north
the output improves.

If I am reading the display correctly, the Solar is putting in 1.1A, see 3rd bar from the left. Given the -0.4A on the 4th bar I would guess that at that moment the motorhome was using 1.5A.

As Ray has said you won't get much out of a solar panel this time of year in the UK mainly because the Sun is too low

Thanks for yhe replies.
Any idea how I can check the solar panel voltage.
It's a 120w I understand and looks like it's seen better days, wanted to check it's output before I go further.

Checking voltage may just confirm if its working or not.. But your panel is already telling you that.
Usually you get around 21v from the panel into the solar regulator and then the charge voltage ie 13.5v to the battery (approx figures) in good daylight..
If you have the EC500 then the solar regulator is built inside and so you would need to remove the unit and know where to test...
