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"

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?
Have a look at some of the historic data on vrm advanced tab for the solar charge controller.
What was the voltage when it was charging correctly? This might give a hint as to when the behaviour started.
I was going to guess it was just a dark day for you but that does sound really quite a low voltage.
Can you see any more detail if you try accessing the charge controller using victron connect app rather than via the gx device.
If you can see more information/change the state on there then it may just be a loose connection between charge controller and gx device (would be a nice easy fix).
Maybe you switched off the charger (maintenance mode)?
Check it it's on in the settings/battery, best directly through Bluetooth...
