A couple of weeks ago I noticed the amount of solar power my panels were pulling in had diminished significantly (looking at the history graph via Victron Connect app). Some days I got nothing other days a small amount (even though it has been sunny).
Today when I looked at the app I see this message:
I decided to use a multimeter to test the panels directly and both are reading 0v. I took the same reading at the Victron controller and got a zero also. It seems odd to me that both panels would fail either at the same time or in very quick succession. Am I missing something here or do I conclude the panels have had it and need to be replaced? They were factory fitted about two and a half years ago.
