ALWAYS USE FUSES ON YOUR SYSTEM >> ALWAYS<< BURNED MPPTS.

EDIT:


Sorry for long delay.

The MPPT's due bad / wrong connections went on fire.

First of all one of MPPT's were over loaded and once one of MPPT's goes on fire then 2nd got power of all panels ( !! 15 PANELS OF 250W !! )

Person who connected all panels and system did not put fuses and all on system as well.

PANELS WERE CONNECTED PARALEL + SERIES / MIXED SERIES.

System was just ticking bomb!

It was my plan to 'fix' connections across current system and make new lines but i got new wires and fuses two days after MPPT's broke. (i was waiting for supply few weeks)

Inverter is fine.

MPPT'S WERE OVER LOADED FOR OVER 2 YEARS.


Now i have made 5 new strings, 3 panels per string, Ordered 3 MPPT's 150/35 to get it sorted as should be.
Huge thanks to

EcoSolar (Also Repair Centre) from POLAND for quick response and getting me sorted with CORRECT HARDWARE.

If your battery is fully charged (float state) and there is no load, MPPT will not charge the battery and you will not see any production from PV.

No there is no bluetooth,

its 150/35 (x2) (old)

Ive tried to change SoC settings,

3 lights were on and all disapear. I've new software updated and preconfigured, charger is enabled.

Fuses are ok, voltage on batteries are fine.

There is two mppts. One per side.

Im worried that mppts are fired some how, but i only changed SoC settings...

Do you have VRM set-up?

Can you make some pictures of the whole system?
Can you measure the battery voltage at the battery terminals and the PV voltage at the PV terminals of the MPPTs?
