Reading AMPS from a solar panel
I have a 12v - 120W solar panel on my TC. This is controlled by a Morningstar Sunsaver 20 into a single group 27 wet cell battery. I have a Trimetric 2025RV battery monitor installed. As far as ...

Rbertalotto,
That is unfortunate as it works great with my Sunsaver. Different model I guess.
You could monitor solar output voltage via the B2 switch on the Trimetric (I do this as it's faster than navigating through the Morningstar Remote menu)
To measure solar panel current you could put a second Trimetric shunt resistor in series with the solar panels, and then measure the voltage across the shunt to determine panel current (current = volts/resistance).
