Green LED (Inverter ON) to Orange LED (Charger Float)

I have a “Blue Power MultiPlus 48/5000/70 - Blue Solar Charge Controller – MPPT 150/35 - BMV 700 Battery Monitor. My system worked without ANY problems from, 24 Nov’18, until, 5 Apr’19 (131 days), throughout one of the worst winters in Crete, Greece. Since the arrival of beautiful sunny weather, a problem started. Green LED (Inverter ON) to Orange LED (Charger Float), since 5 Apr’19 until now 16 May’19 it has happened 8 times. Sometimes if I switch the Inverter OFF-ON it comes back on. Sometimes this solution takes Hours/Days. P.S. I have NEVER connected my generator Lowest Voltage = Zero, Highest Voltage = 58.2V I have 4 x 200Ah batteries ....


sorry it is taking me some time to navigate around

Sorry for not being so clear about this .... My Inverter goes OFF at random times ....

When ON I see - Green LED = Inverter ON = situation normal >>> Then goes OFF ...

I see Orange LED at Charger Side FLOAT ... sometimes I can switch it ON almost immediately ... other times it takes hours/days .... recently I connected my Generator to Inverter... which should enable me to start up GENI when NO power ... OK with me ? ... When my Invertor went OFF as above I started the Geni ... Power was restored for all of 20-30 seconds ... then OFF again ... this time Orange LED at Charger side (Absorption) ...

As I said before ALL winter my PV system worked ( a very bad winter in Greece) and I had nothing else connected - No Geni - Nothing ... when the good sunshine arrived it keeps closing down

So if i read this right...


Leftside of the inverter is orange led on AND

Rightside is the green led inverter on?


So that means that the battery is in float-stage ( battery is full)



Edit: if you have a phone, you can download the victron app "victron toolkit"..

And search for the led status in the app ;-)
