Just installed new SunSaver 20L. This seems to be a defective unit. If there's another possibility - I'm all ears!
Using multimeter, reading 19v from the single 85w PV panel. But the SunSaver status LED shows nothing (same as if no PV panel connected). Morningstar calls this 'Night' operating state - the status LED is off with "heartbeat" indication flickering ON (green) briefly every 5 seconds.
Therefore, no charging of the battery is happening.
Desperately seeking Comments/feedback. Thx!
Add'l info - when this 85w PV panel is connected to my old controller it works fine and charges the battery as expected. When the old controller is disconnected and replaced with the new SunSaver 20L controller there is no current from the PV panel and thus no charging whatsoever.
Conclusion: SunSaver 20L is defective. Can anyone here refute my conclusion? Is there any other possible answer to this conundrum?
