    Hi, thanks for your reply! I'm curious why there is no information about temperature on the screenshot above but on some other screenshots its about 26° C degrees (reported via Victron SmartBatterySense).

    Hi rhino! my explanation was somewhat incomplete regarding "added more modules". I indeed added modules but to another charge controller. In fact there were two strings: STRING 1 => 3x 130Wp, each: VOC 22.69V, Vmp 18.49V, Imp 7.03A, Isc 7.48A plus STRING 2 => 1x 330WP: VOC 45.17V - Vmp 37.69V...

    My bad .. again haha (thanks for pointing this out). THE VOLTAGES ON THE SCREENSHOT are not the same like when the "string-configuration" (shown above) was connected to it. The charge controller doesn't do anything since days and i connect it once a day to some spare modules to check if it came...

    More useful screenshots of the working state, history on "dead day" and not charging. And this looks relating to me, sadly w/o any information on the "root cause". https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/85026/smartsolar-mppt-15085-vecan-no-current-flow-in-bul.html

    1) i don't think so, because the battery voltage is way to high for this AND (more importantly) i set the battery to be 24v (App Settings). 2) Dead in terms of "not working" as intended. It still behaves like on day one - lights working (no error/blinking), no errors in history (see history-dead...

    Yes, it is disconnected most of the time (waiting for RMA i guess). Connecting it every now and then but to no avail. Replaced cables/checked voltages - nope. :(
  • Post in thread: Victron SmartSolar 100/50 no amperage but voltage from modules

    Yes, multiple times - no luck. I put the strings on the 100/20 controller (was ready to lose it) but it was working like a charm (limited to 20A charging). The 100/50 didn‘t came back no matter what I did.
  • Post in thread: Victron SmartSolar 100/50 no amperage but voltage from modules

    yes I’m aware of that. In fact I wasn‘t at home when my wife noticed the lack of power on the 100/50 (using the Victron App, she doesn‘t dare to touch anything there even with gloves haha). So: no disconnects on either side. And if the battery would‘ve been disconnected, the other charge...
  • Post in thread: Victron SmartSolar 100/50 no amperage but voltage from modules

    Hi there, i'm new here and really pleased there are forums like this - otherwise i'd be lost! I've started a Mini-offgrid System about two or three months ago, starting with a Victron SmartSolar 100/50. It was working pretty good so far (about 173kWh), but when i added more panels + another...

    Will try this again tomorrow for lack of sunlight now (upper Bavaria, Germany). My replacement orders will arrive tomorrow too, I expect them to work properly. :/
  • Post in thread: Victron SmartSolar 100/50 no amperage but voltage from modules

    Charge settings are 28.8V for absorption, 27.6V float, 30V for „balancing“ (got these values from battery vendor). As for wires: I made this on my iPad Right now (it is not the most beautiful drawing I’ve made) to date but the best I can come up with now. Hopefully it serves its purpose :)...
