Easy way to measure solar output (Amps)?
I tried measuring the circuit between my solar panel and the controller today, but couldn't get a reading. I was wondering, should a digital multimeter (I have a Fluke 115) be able to read small amou...

If this is without controller, then you didn't even have to measure :)... I bet this is - more or less - what it says on the back of the panel, ex. Isc = 4-something Amps, Voc = 22V. Direct measurement without controller confirms that panel isn't dead though.
What is more interesting, is how your batteries work with this panel. What voltage they start from, do they ever get to Bulk 14-something volt, and do they ever get to Float. Measuring amps in line while battery is charging, is a useful info as well, but this has to be "in line", i.e. in series, with controller output connected to battery.
