Easy Solar 48/5000 MPPT do not want to produce power

Good day

I am running ESS mode keep batteries charged , and using the solar to supplement critical and AC loads . For some reason the last couple a days the loads are on but the PV production does not escalate with the loads . It keeps on being throttled so I think, as it stays in external control. The previous day it produced power like it should should be and all off a sudden it stops in the middle of the day still when there is enough loads as well as ample sun . Some snap shots of my problem . I have no idea were to go and look. I have checked all cabling on the pv side could not find any issues there . Some assistance will be appreciated

Regards

My Topic may be a bit vague . The MPPT does produce power but it seems that it is being throttled by the Color Control . Clear skies with no cloud cover .

Hi Daniël

Yes i went out to site after thePV generation dropped to 0w. What also triggered me was the input voltage on the MPPT that was around 60V. The input string voltage was jumping around, after some testing a found a string fuse that was faulty and causing al the mayen. Sorted the fuse out and al seems to be fine .

Hi @Johannes Cronje
