Hiya Roscoe...
OK, the boys have got into you enough... I'll try and help ya... now, to test the system you will need a live Chicken, a light bulb, a mankini and two metres of garden hose...
Just jokin (maybe)... First off, is it one of those "battery charger top up" dash mat panels with a ciggy plug or is it a genuine solar panel that had to be connected to the battery.
If it is a genuine panel you will probably need a regulator or as soon as the PV (solar cell) output drops due to night, clouds or too far off angle then the Battery will very slowly discharge thru the Panel if there is no blocking diode and it relys on the Reg.
If it is one of the dash mat style ones with a ciggy plug make sure that where you plug it into is actually a connection to the battery with the ign OFF. I have seen plenty of people who connect them to a Ciggy Plug outlet that is only "powered" when the ign is in accessories or on and the wonder why the Battery won't charge thru there when ther is no circuit when the Key is off and removed.
Check those things out and post back up.
