Hi
Does any anyone know what might be causing my Solar Charge Controller 100/30 to disappear from view on the Victron Connect app??
This has now happened when I go to check in the morning. After disconnecting and reconnecting the solar panel I can then view the MPPT unit on app as normal.
This is new setup on a campervan running 200W solar panel to a 200Ah battery
Thanks in advance
the panel OC voltage may not be high enough in the mornings (must be 5v more than battery volatge) maybe change to the PV panels to series connection
check that you have battery voltage at the B+ on the regulator at night. ie fuse maybe blown.
you should be able to see the smartsolar 24 hrs if there is battery voltage getting to it
Hi Paul
This setup uses one 200W panel on the roof and one 200W portable panel plugged in when needed. Both panels connect to separate 100/30 MPPT Solar charge controllers
The problem MPPT is showing green steady light indicating on Float charge mode and battery is registering almost full capacity.
What do you mean by ” battery voltage at B+ at the regulator at night” ?
There should be full battery voltage at the MPPTs battery connection.
also watch the PV OC voltage in the morning if must be 5 volts more than battery voltage to start. so on a 12 volt system that's 17 volts and if the panels arec 18v OC voltage that's a bit close.
The smartsolar unit should be visible even at night on victron connect. if its not then the battery connection maybe brocken
