SmartSolar calibration - drawing power at low loads

Hi,

The system on my boat uses four SmartSolar 100/20 MPPTs with four identical panels. I've noticed that one of the MPPTs consistently says that it is using ~10W when it's at low input power. I'm pretty sure this is just a calibration issue and that it is actually putting power out.

You can see the behaviour here first thing this morning:

It does the same again at the end of the day.

Is there any way for the user to force the unit to perform a zero current recalibration, or is this simply considered defective? My setup does use Cyrix charge Li on the charge bus, so the controllers do fully turn off each evening.

Regards,

Justin
