Re: SOLAR CONTROLLER Reply #1 – August 29, 2022, 07:59:24 pm So Hank, what is your question? The lack of responses tells me the group doesn't know what you are asking.If you use a digital voltmeter, are you getting a good reading from your batteries? Is there any sign that the solar is charging your batteries? Since you have solar, is there a possibility that the fuse for the solar system has blown? Good luck with your problem and your sale.

Re: SOLAR CONTROLLER Reply #2 – August 29, 2022, 09:34:51 pm I had my solar controller go blank before, and when I contacted the installer (who had worked at AM Solar), he said that it's a phone cable that connects to the screen. I was able to open the connection, unplugged the cable, waited 60 seconds, and reconnected it. Presto, everything worked again! Good luck. 1 Likes
Re: SOLAR CONTROLLER Reply #3 – August 29, 2022, 10:17:58 pm Good tip, Kristin. I had a similar problem with my PROsine inverter/charger. It had serious corrosion on the modular plug of the phone cable that connected it to the control panel display. (Those contacts are gold-plated, so you'd think they couldn't corrode... but this one did.) I scrubbed it with a toothbrush and the applied a little DeoxIT contact cleaner, and all was good as new again. 1 Likes
