Meant to do this a while back but my meter never came. This time I specified a U.S. supplier and it showed up two days later. Green instead of blue but so what. My attempt at doing it cleanly was overcome by my unwillingness to remove the catalytic heater. Without enough room to work using the jig saw was problematic as you can see the marks.
Before that though the power connector to the meter fell off. No way to solder that back on but I might be able to solder just the wires back on. Took two tries but I succeeded. Blew a fuse during the install of course. I also installed a mini spst switch by the 12v outlet just in case its too bright at night, I can turn it off.
You can also see its reading 14volts. My solar is working again. I attempted to diagnose my problem but it was a cloudy day when I worked on it and now its working again. I hope its not going to be one of those intermittent problems. I'd rather it not work at all that work occasionally.
