I am definitely confused, does the meter show only the amps being used, or a cobination of amps in (from solar) & amps used(Propane dector etc,)Thanks for the help.

.8 vs .3 is .5 amp so NO that does not reconcile with coving the panels and losing 1.5 amps. And not sure how you have .3 going in with no solar.

Are you using a multimeter in series? You may need 2 decimal resolution to find this issue.
