Smartsolar MPPT 250/100 in VictronConnect shows load as ESS and 7 seconds later fault appears and back to ESS. Continuously.

Hi all

My system was working perfectly fine for the last 3months. Last week I noticed that the smartsolar power goes to about 5000w and then suddenly drops to 0 every 7 seconds. I have a Quattro 10000va and CCGX. If I disconnect the Quattro and let the smartsolar 250/100 charge the batteries it works fine. Agm batteries 360ah 48v.

Hi @Danny du Plessis, could you check if you have a VE.Smart Networking configured in your device? If so, you can try to disable it (by leaving the ve.smart networking) and check if the issue persist. Having ESS + VE.Smart Networking is not supported at the moment.


You can find more information about the VE.Smart Networking on https://www.victronenergy.com/live/victronconnect:ve-smart-networking.


Thanks.

Does this mean the CCGX is still plugged in and you just turn off the Quattro and the issue goes away?

Hi warwick

If I switch off the Quattro the fault still remains. If I disconnect the Lan cable between CCGX and Quattro the smartsolar is working correctly. Not sure if it is a configuration problem or not. Thank you.
