I had read somewhere that diodes in the panels could sometimes go bad and get leaky or something.

I have a panel in storage that has SOME sort of issue. I notice the battery on it kept going dead, so I put a digital meter on it. It bobbled a bit, voltage-wise, so I put an analog meter on it. That meter dance around all over the place, more like a modulation meter, than a voltage meter connected directly to a panel (no diode), facing the Sun, with clear skies! After I put it in storage, I thought about putting a speaker on the output, to hear what it's doing, but I have yet to dig out the panel.
