When my solar panels are charging (~14V) and I try to start the
engine, it basically acts like the batteries are dead. No turnover,
just hear the click of the solenoid. I unplug the solar panels and
it starts right up? Any ideas what could be causing this? Wierd.

Obviously a short somewhere, but that's not really helpful. Perhaps the
reversing diode is shorting?
