I always wonder about the energy needed to overcome air resistance represented by solar panels installed on a vehicle vs the power they provide to the system. Variables include air resistance and efficiency of the panels, speed of the vehicle, and 12vdc power demand and drag from the 12vdc alternator.

In your case, you seem to be getting more from the solar panels than they're taking. Good for you! Of course, that grid charging is a thumb on the scale :-)
