Batteries just charged up to full and the MPPT went from throttling from 6KW coming in to just a few watts as the batteries requested less, and then it stopped charging and started showing -16W for some reason. If we turn on a bigger AC load the MPPT then starts supplying power.
But I'm trying to figure out what is powering our AC and DC loads here when the MPPT shows -16W and the battery shows no charge or discharge? Something is powering the loads since it all works, but is the Victron system not able to identify it, or am I just reading this wrong?
The loads are the Quattro 15K and the MPPT RS and an Orion 48/48 that is supplying power to a Starlink dish and then a few small loads around the cabin.
I would *think* the MPPT would be allowing in some of the PV to supply the AC/DC loads, and maybe that is what is happening, it's just odd that it shows -16W though.
The sun is out and the MPPT has access to KWs of PV btw.
