This looks pretty good to me under the circumstances. Yes, that is snow in the background (as in NO sun today).

Just a tip......Although a volt-meter may tell you if the solar panel is a dead player or not (as in zero volts.....no continuity), it has very little practicl value other than that.
I always suggest that anyone with a solar array needs to have some way to monitor amperage output. Your typical multimeter will not read DC amps.
Some people have gone ahead and installed expensive amperage panels that will also keep track of input, out-go and give you a pretty decent score as to how many amp-hours may still be in your battery (through a mathematical calculation). I had a similar panel on my sailboat but find them a bit over-kill for a small RV with a small solar system (just my personal take on it). Some people just love gadgets......
However, I would suggest that you do have something to tell you the quality of output from your panel.
I have found this device to be invaluable to me, extremely accurate and relatively inexpensive.
