Mppt charge controller state off during the day

Hi, my Mppt charge controller has been working fine and now the state is off during the day. I’ve checked all the connections, fuses, etc, all good. I’ve reset the controller, but no luck. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Saltysails

Did you know that you can press the "Why is the charger off" text and then you get an explanation on why the charger is off?

Asking because we see this question quite a lot on the community and this functionality was added specifically for these cases. But if people do not know it / find it, then apparently it is not clear.

Kind regards,

Thiemo van Engelen

Pv voltage is lower than battery voltage. Check the voltage coming into the MPPT with a meter and see if it agrees with the app. If so then you have a connection problem somewhere between the panels and the MPPT. If not, then try resetting the MPPT. Disconnect pv first, then battery. Leave for 5 minutes the reconnect in the reverse order.
