Battery State on MPPT changed from Bulk to Off?

Afternoon!

We've had a MPPT 100/30 fit on our boat for three months now, alongside 2 Victron 115w solar panels and had no issues. We also have several Victron 110ah Batteries. We noticed today that the solar wasn't coming in from the app even though the sun is out.

The bulk light is flashing and on the app it says the battery state is Off. Previous it shows its on Bulk.

We've done nothing different from yesterday to today, and the app was showing some solar this morning being drawn for three hours and then nothing?

Is there likely an issue with the MPPT or the connection to the batteries?

Hi US. Those symptoms suggest your panels. Maybe poor connection, at the mppt or within an MC4 connector. Fuse, dicky wire, etc? Check there first..

Will do. Thanks. The panels were fit by a local boat electrician but I've seen found out they've done a poor job so it wouldn't surprise me if the issue is there :(
