Also, the output of the panel should not exceed 6-7 volts or the camera won''t allow it to charge the battery. Some 3rd-party panels go up to 12 - 15 VDC and they have too high a voltage and are cut off from charging so they wont kill the battery. Make sure to get a USB voltmeter that will accept the correct connections from the panel to charger.

Learn MoreMore often than not, a damaged solar charge controller causes the 'no voltage' issue. It's important to verify the integrity of your solar charge controller as your average 12V panel would be producing about 18V to 28V open circuit on full sunlight.
If your solar panel is not producing voltage, it could be due to issues with the solar charge controller. If the charge controller displays errors, zero power, or freezes, it might cause a no voltage problem. To fix it, try a soft reset first. If that doesn't work, proceed with a hard reset. Many electronic devices, including solar charge controllers, often benefit from a restart.
Note: If your solar panel controller also has a regulated Voltage output (Voltage is never more than 12-13V DC) then the current supplied to the battery may depend on the voltage that the battery has.e.g if the solar output is 12.3V and the battery is 12V then the battery is only being charged by 0.3V and the charging current will be small.
The open circuit typically occurs due to higher load voltage, solar panel shading, reversed terminal connection, etc. If your solar charge controller has a problem with it, for example, it's defective; it can prevent the current flow, causing zero amps. In general, poor-quality or cheap charge controllers tend to cause this issue.
Your Solar Charge Controller won't let current flow from Load to Panel due to its settings thus the total circuit will have zero amps despite having voltage. Your Solar Panel Circuit has a lot of equipment. One of the main pieces of equipment is Solar Charge Controller. Now if it is broken your entire circuit will be busted.
two issues: 1. battery voltage is greater than solar voltage. Current flow is from highest potential to lowest Solar has reverse flow (diode) protection. Ergo, no battery charging going on. Also, blown fuses in current meter (multimeter) mean no circuit, also no current flow. Cheers KC8KK Was this answer helpful? Thank you guys for your help!
