A Question on Solar Panels

Hi,
I have a solar panel on the roof of my van with a Prostar Controller

http://www.morningstarcorp.com/en/support/library/ProStar%20Datasheet.pdf

This controller goes through a cyclic display of battery voltage solar current and load current.

My batteries are fully charged and new.

The battery voltage shows a value (13.7) but the solar current is showing 0.0.

I don't know much about these things so may be that is correct.

It is a bright sunny day but cold (Canberra). Sun is getting to the panels.

Is this what you would expect or should there always be a solar current.

The status indicator for the battery says it is charging - there are no other indicators I can see.

Thanks for any help,
Richard
