Anyone know at what voltage level the solar power regulator should start feeding power in to the leisure batteries? Mine are down at 12.6v but the solar power amp indicator is still showing zero,?

My Victron starts trickling a minute amount as soon as proper daylight? Then ramps up depending on light and state of charge of battery. That's the beauty of their Bluetooth capability+ quick check any time.

If there's even a tiny shadow on the panel, the output will plummet. I believe PWM chargers are worse than MPPT for this too.

Disclosure: it was 97 watts output a few minutes before the drop to 13 watts.
