A Schottky diode would be best due to a lower voltage drop, but almost any diode (non zener) will work in this case? because it is only blocking the voltage from flowing out of the batteries and into the solar cells when a cloud passes over.

Where? does the diode get connected to? Sorry, I couldn’t see where you hooked it up.

Between the? solar cells and the batteries, on the positive wire.
