Sorry for asking all these questions, but how do you turn off solar? Doesn’t it keep generating while there’s sunlight?
If it's turned off, it's like a battery that isn't connected to anything. You have a voltage across the positive and negative terminals, but power can't actually flow unless there's somewhere for it to go.
Just disconnect the panel.
