Green LED (Inverter ON) to Orange LED (Charger Float)


I have a “Blue Power MultiPlus 48/5000/70 - Blue Solar Charge Controller – MPPT 150/35 - BMV 700 Battery Monitor.

My system worked without ANY problems from, 24 Nov’18, until, 5 Apr’19 (131 days), throughout one of the worst winters in Crete, Greece. Since the arrival of beautiful sunny weather, a problem started.

Green LED (Inverter ON) to Orange LED (Charger Float), since 5 Apr’19 until now 16 May’19 it has happened 8 times. Sometimes if I switch the Inverter OFF-ON it comes back on. Sometimes this solution takes Hours/Days.


P.S. I have NEVER connected my generator

Lowest Voltage = Zero, Highest Voltage = 58.2V

I have 4 x 200Ah batteries

Hi @David Ohara
I'd contact your installer to check things out and if the unit is defective repair it.
