Thanks! They are probably in the 5W range or less, I've got a 45W unit and 2
group 27 also.

Chris,
Sorry, but i don't know any of that.  The panels both came from Stan: one
circa 1995 and the other 2001.  I have a volt meter on the batteries and
that is how I monitor whether or not the panels are keeping up.  Not very
scientific I know...
