SmartSolar MPPT Current #60

tonipezzoni commented 8 months ago

Hello, The screenshot is showing all the paths received from a SmartSolar MPPT via ve.direct USB with SK 2.41 and plugin 1.5.0. The current form panels is "electrical.solar.Panels.loadCurrent", and the current to the batteries is "electrical.batteries.Services.current" right?

Well, the electrical.solar.Panels.loadCurrent is always zero. Any idea? Thank you! VE direct paths

Probaly the path "electrical.solar.Panels.loadCurrent" is referred to the optional load, not connected. If so, why the current from panels don't have a path? As electrical.solar.Panels.panelVoltage and electrical.solar.Panels.panelPower, a electrical.solar.Panels.panelCurrent should be present. Thank you

Your output electrical.solar.Panels.load is off. If I don't remeber totally wrong, this is output switch indicator for electrical.solar.Panels.loadCurrent. So if it is not on then current will remain 0.

For some reason, there is no panel current available from MPPT. If you need that, it must be calculated separately, I=P/U
