Low Solar Power Input

I’m a newbie to solar power - go easy and don’t laugh too much. So I bought a kit for my van, rigged it up yesterday and my 110w panel was showing 80w in sunlight. Great. It went from bulk to absorption to float and battery then fully charged that day. No draw on battery, van is sitting on drive outside my house. Today same sunlight level but only showing 6w. Is this correct? Is it because the controller knows the battery state and only allows that much from the panel?

The batteries are already full so the MPPT don't need to charge them even more.
If you turn on some load the PV power should rise.
