    Howdy all.  Thanks to everyone for contributing their thoughts.  I thought I would close the loop on my solar power woes.  Finally got a chance to take the D@wghouse to the dealer.  They confirmed that the OEM rooftop mounted solar panel was bad.  It would work for awhile when the sun first starts hitting it and then it would simply cease any output.  This was checked by testing the wires coming directly out of the panel.  The working theory is that a contact within the panel is bad and when the panel heats up from the warmth of the sun, a disconnect occurs.  So, a replacement is in the works.  FYI, this was a SunPower 110 watt panel.
