This means that on that scenario the solar panel delivered 60 watts of power to charge the battery.
My solar panel does not fully charge the battery.
Keep in mind the solar panel needs a few hours of direct sunlight per day to charge as expected.
If not you might have a bad controller.
The solar power generated by the solar panel is received by the solar charge controller.
It safeguards the deep cycle batteries from being overcharged during the day.

How do we tell if the solar panel is charging the batteries on our 2002 motorhome.
If you connect the panels first your controller may have booted up thinking you have a 24 volt system.
If the camera is still not powering on hold the setup button for 20 seconds.
Otherwise on sunny days the solar panel may produce more energy than your battery can handle which can damage the battery.
You always want to connect the battery first panels second to your controller.
You may need to try a different power outlet or micro usb charging cable if there are no charging lights lighting up on the battery.
Contact support if the issue persists.
A solar charge controller is a component that helps manage the power that is going into the battery store from the solar panel.
Also a high number of events may drain a battery quicker than a trickle charge can restore it.
So if you have a solar panel that with a 10 watts power rating and it is exposed to sunlight for at least 6 hours.
You can get the amount of energy it will provide the battery by multiplying 10 watts by 6 hours which will give you 60 wh.
Charge the battery for five to 10 minutes then reinsert it.
