Hi harold,
I also get amps after sunset. Check to see the time of Civil Twilight in your area. I mostly get a tiny bit of charging sometime past that number. Sounds like I should do another "back yard" experiment.
Here is the data for today:
Actual Time sun rise 5:42 AM CST sun set 8:11 PM CST
I'll run out to the RV now as it is 7:50 and see what is what. Rv is in the shade of two houses and some large trees. Solar still charging but only barely. I'll be able to test better on May 1 as I'll be in a parking lot for the night--and should be able to get out of the shade.
