    Hey me again. I decided to get out the panels yesty and use them to charge up a couple of batteries. One thing I noticed on the controller that the charge light never came on and the load light was on. Then, I unplugged everything, folded the panels up and took it into the garage and about an hour later I noticed the charge light on the controller was glowing. Not even it sun light and not even connected to a battery. Was gives there?
    I have only used these once before and even then I was suspicious that they were not working but I just put it down to not enough sun. So I am keen to work this out.
    Heres a pic of the glowing charge light on the controller, the specs on the back of the panel and the leads supplied with the panels. I also have ordered the Steca controller too. Just the cable to get, and some connectors.

    Thanks.
