Hello,

I recently installed a 16kw system w/two Outback Radians and 4 Midnite Classic 150s.  Three of the controllers show 100% SOC and one shows 0% SOC.  I am guessing it is inhibiting all of the controllers going into full operation and a sell state.  One controller was going and the others showed voltage but no watts.  According to the manual it was in theory at the end of a charge cycle but the time limit was far past.  I got them all to start operating fully by shutting off PV power to the 0% SOC controller and turning it back on but I do not understand what is going on.  HELP!

Do you have your Classic Controllers in Follow Me mode ?

The Classic Controllers don't have a Sell State - that is the inverter that does that right ?

Maybe remove your double post (filed under Brat). Youll need to provide a bit more info before we can be much help.

First the classic will only show SOC% if it has an actual WBjr hooked to it? So do you have 4 WBjrs?
