TROUBLESHOOTING 

When Problems are experienced with the MPPT’s please refer to this section to confirm the 
procedure to follow in order to correct the fault. 

 

10.1  Panel Output Power Low

 

 

This would be the general error experienced when  
connecting the MPPT. 

 

 

This fault can be checked through any of the following tests on the MPPT

  Turn off the MPPT Panel breaker and measure the voltage using a multi-meter.  

  Turn on the Panel circuit breaker and confirm if the voltage is immediately dropping to the 

battery voltage or if the voltage is slowly decreasing 

  If the voltage is immediately dropping to the battery voltage then the MPPT needs to be  

sent to Microcare for repair. 

  If the voltage is not adjusting then you need to open up the MPPT and check the internal  

cables to confirm if the circuit breaker attachments are tight. 

  Tighten the circuit breaker internally and externally. 

  If this does not solve the error then you would be required to test your PV Panels 

independently to confirm if you have a Panel short circuit that is causing the PV voltage to be 
low. 

 

 

 

10.2  High Panel Voltage 

 
This error will display when the PV Voltage is exceeding  
The ratio between the battery voltage and the 
 PV Panel Voltage used to charge the batteries. 
(Refer to List Below) 
 

Battery Bank Size 

PV Panel Voltage (VOC) 

12V 

48V 

24V 

96V 

36V 

135V 

48V 

135V 

Remember that the MPPT will only support a 
max of 150VOC per PV array. 

 

 

10.3  Open Circuit Voltage Higher Than 150 VDC 

 
Your PV Panel array is connected in series and is exceeding 
the 150Voc capacity of the MPPT 
 
 

 

10.4  Battery Voltage Higher Than 60Vdc 

 
The Battery Voltage is exceeding the supported Voltage range  
of the MPPT.
