solar voltage

I have a 2004 Monaco Sig with 1 solar panel and a controller. I just noticed on the Aladdin display that the solar voltage is about 13 to 14 volts and 1 to 2 amps. When I plug in the coach the voltage jumps to 24 volts and the amps are blank. I don’t remember that happening before. I don’t know if that is right, I put my Fluke meter on the controller and it was right (24 volts). What do you think is happening????

Any ideas will help

Dave

A solar panel without a connection to a battery (i.e., no load) will put out upwards of 18 to 20 some odd volts. Perhaps, when you are plugged in a relay or circuit is disconnecting the solar panel from the batteries. This would prevent any back feed into the solar panel/s.
