On my Speedglass helmet, the default mode for the screen is dark, so if the power fails the screen goes dark (the only sensible way to do it). I merely assume yours work the same way (read the manual). If so a problem with the solarpanel should not make the helmet reluctant to stay dark. Sounds more like the sensor to me. If something blocks the light to the sensor it will turn on te screen (light). Henning
