Hello @Chonaker205@gmail.com Can you please share a bit more on how did you do the update, what fault finding steps have you already taken? How are the panels connected and did you not inadvertently swap the polarity?

I appriciate your help.

The system worked fine with two panels prior to the update. The panel are running in parallel. I have checked all connections, read manual for trouble shooting, and ran each panel individually with no issues.
I did the update through the victron app, while on LTE phone, sitting next to the inverter. Once complete the system stopped working. I unplugged the second panel and it started working.
I have attached two photos from the victron app that show what happens when I plug in the second panel.

I would like to reinstall the last update to the unit but I'm not sure how to do that.
