wondering if this could be the culprit? using a REnogy DC/DC 50 amp with 2x100 watt panels. have checked the panels separately hooked up to small battery pack and they start to charge right away but when the panels are hooked up (in Parr) to the DC/DC solar input (MPPT) they are not sending any charge to the battery, as the BMS shows idle and state of charge does not change. i've been concentrating on the panel and input side but maybe the way i have the output is causing my issue? instead of the output going direct to fuse and battery i have it running thru my master switch first. could that create a open circuit? i also have my AC charger attached at that end of the fuse as well. should i go direct from the DCDC output to the fuse and then battery? and then run from battery to the switch for the camper? any thoughts?
i don't have a multimeter that shows amps just volts and it is producing 20+ in sunlight at the DCDC input. the pic is before i hooked up, the the DCDC is in the middle black. the output is bottom right to yellow switch to fuse then + on Batt. all the lights on the charger seem correct and show the solar is hooked up as well, just nothing going out. the Alternator seems to charge fine this way.
