Smart Solar 100/50 fail ?

I accidently shorted the PV input to the 100/50, hear a pop and controller now does not produce more than 3W. Is there no protection against shorting the PV input as. The 50A thermal breaker between the panels and controller did not trip either.

If you shorted the PV terminals the controller should not be damaged. The controller would only “see” a low voltage when the PV was shorted. I would disconnect battery and reboot from start. No reason for the controller to be damaged but shorting the PV.
