RS450/100 too low numbers?

Hi,


I just extended my install with Victron MPPT 450/100 but getting very low numbers and doesn't seem to be right, my solar panels are JA 540MR in 5S oriented to the east, so from 8am-12pm I anticipate at least 500W (1100W/m2 installed x 0.1 sunny winter coefficient ) but getting 0-30W . Any idea why this is happening?

It is not easy to guess with only one screenshot.

Check the connection between the MPPT and the battery.

Is the remote on/off jumper plugged in correctly?

1 mppt reads a voltage of 0.9 v.

Bad kama.

It would be good to know what the problem was. This will help others in the same situation.

@Csaba Köböl

You seem to have a double instance of the mppt there (or at least the serial number is very similar), or do you have two in the system? If it is s doube instance then that may be the issue.

If you do have two, then the one is not registering panel voltage. So check those connections.

@Alexandra

The RS 450/100 has two MPP tracker inside and both are shown on the VRM portal.

(the RS 450/200 has 4 trackers)
