Strange Smart MPPT 100/20 behaviour - v1.50 fw. Wild rhythmic fluctuations

I just connected to the MPPT and a forced few update was applied. Now seeing the attached whenever the cloud clears. Not started troubleshooting on the solar side but the rhythmic fluctuations suggest it might be the box? Has anyone else encountered similar?

Wild and rhythmic fluctuations sound kind of erotic....

After you have soundly spanked your mppt, disconect the solar input, then the battery input.

Connect the battery to the mppt, and then the solar pv.

If your mppt is still not behaving, check the voltages at the mppt's battery & solar terminals. If different to the app display, check fuses/breakers.

Normally a forced nap sorts out cranky mppt's.
