Get data from Ve bus when charger is off

I am reading ve data using and esp32 from a 100/30 blue solar smart controller on the bench and data is generated irrespective of whether the charger state is on or off ie there is voltage from the panel or not.

I have a solar blue 100/30 on my system, think it is version 1.4, but the charger only generates data while the charger is on ie when there is daylight.

My question is: can something be changed in settings so that it generates data continuously or is there a fundamental difference between the two controllers.

thanks in anticipation

There was a hardware change in the product. Earlier models were powered from solar.

Current models are powered from either solar or battery.
