PV Charger - not charging

My PV charger is not charging. When I view the info on the App, it shows as "off" (see image below). When I access the SmartSolar Charger MPPT 150/100, and I look at the data next to PV, there is a charge of 36.21V that seems to be coming through. If I switch the solar off, this does fall to 0. I assume that this is correct, but this is currently with the State as "Off"

Hi @nilesh.makan@gmail.com

That voltage seems too low to charge a 52v battery. Is there an issue with your PV array? Have you removed some panels that were previously in series?

Hello @matt1309 Thank you for your response. No, there has been no change in the panels. One day it was working, the next day it wasn't. No power going to the battery.

Maybe you switched off the charger (maintenance mode)?

Check it it's on in the settings/battery, best directly through Bluetooth...
