The solar is wired in through the fridge vent to the 12v side of the power center, not directly to the batteries as I would have liked.. With that said I would only expect a .2ish vdc difference between the change controller and batteries.
I'd bet you are dropping .2V just from the connection points. This is one sticking point with me that I just don't understand about RV'ers that install solar charging. They are OK with spending hundreds on the gear but balk on using larger wire to connect everything. It seems to me that with small solar, you'd want to get every last bit of power from the panels to the batteries. Maybe it's just me.
