From the manual here suggest you have a read; Section 4.3 is specific to PV.

PV input voltage is from 5v above battery to the MPPT max, the MPPT automatically adjusted to the PV input voltage and is not user adjustable if this is what you are referring to.

Ahh I see, I think the installer hasn't done this right?? There's no wires coming from the pv poss and neg, which I think is why I'm getting no ready of input from the app. Am I right in saying this? Thanks for your help

You should have at least 4 wires to the MPPT. Two to the battery, two to the panels. Optional is load. MPPT will detect battery voltage automatically, but this can be changed in settings if needed. As said above, no settings for PV voltage. Just make sure the PV voltage does not exceed 100, no matter how cold the weather.

It does sound as if your installation is incomplete.
