This may have already been suggested, but I must ask. Have you checked the igniter, to make sure that it is sparking every time?

Starting them at 12.2 volts. They should never get lower than that. 12.8 volts is normal. Charge rate should be 3.65 Volts per cell.
You should be charging them between 13.5 and 14 volts.

Wait for a sunshiny day, or get on the roof with a flashlight. It just may be that you're not getting enough light, yet.

Does your charge controller also show "Resting" and "Absorb" States available? "Off" seems like turned off. It's an MPPT charge controller, right?

I've actually bought one of those, and it works quite well. I have the same key, but changed out the cylinder so I could use my old keys.
