thanks Mitch,

didn't consider the regulator cutting out because the battery is fully charged although having said that, maybe it's the other regulator that's at fault by continually showing it is charging.

I've got myself a Steca PR1010 which should help as it gives a readout of current output from the panel and accumulative for the day.

I've got one of those in my van. I've been recording the amp hours generated and used every day, plus the battery voltage when I go to bed. I'll have to produce some fancy graphs now :D.

Did I imagine it, or were there some posts yesterday by someone setting up a PV business offering cheap 180W sharp PV panels? I sounded too good to be true...
