Hello and . We are glad to have you join us and we look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am sure you will enjoy the website and forums. Good luck, stay safe and keep us posted.
First thing I would suggest is to test all connection points in the distribution panel and then at the converter charger.

It could be the solar charger (very small) on the roof that is producing just a bare trickle.
