MQTT PV current and Battery Current the same

I have a Victron SmartSolar Charger MPPT 150/45/ connected to my Home assistant through a Raspberry Pi. All works well except the reported current from the solar cells and the battery charge current are always equal.

▼Battery

Current = {“value”:21.100000381469727}

▼Pv

Current = {“value”:21.100000381469727}

I do not beleive that this can be true, If it is then the charge cntroller should be red hot dissipating the excess power from the cells.

Hi,

What it reports here is the total PV battery current. The PV current coming from the panel is not available, only the voltage and power. They are only available at the MQTT topics of the solarcharger (solar/../Pv/Y and solar/…/Yield/Power).
