Error2 BlueSolar

I'm running 6x Pylontech US5000 in parallel, linked via the CANbus to a CerboGX. Charging this I have 8 BlueSolar MPPT 150/35.


My MPPT are a mix of hardware rev2 and rev 3, rev 2 are running FW 1.61 and rev3 are running rev 1.59. Cerbo GX is F/W 2.91

The problem I have is that the FW1.61 MPPT units report battery overvoltage as soon as any charging starts - even if I replace the solar panels with a bench PSUand gradually increase the PV voltage. The only way to recover seems to be to disconnect VE.direct, PV and battery connections and restart it.


I can't seem to find a way to regress the F/W to 1.59, so I'm not sure what to check next Any ideas!


Thanks
Kevin

Are they all programmed the same?


Or have the blue solar just been programmed with the rotary switches?

My MPPT 150/45 rev 3 firmware 1.61 is giving the same error.

Ah interesting - I did suspect the F/W... the release note say the voltage detect algorithm changed!

In my case the MPPT is programmed to know it's got 48V batteries too.
