MX60 not producing expected power
• Clouds, partial shading, or dirty panels can cause poor performance.
The lower current limit set point in the “Charger” menu will yield a loss of power or poor
performance symptoms.
• Are the batteries charged? Is the MX60 in the Absorbing or Float stage? If either case is true, the
MX60 will produce enough power to regulate the voltage at the ABSORB or FLOAT set point
voltage, therefore, requiring less power in these modes.
• What is the short circuit current of the PV array? Use a multi-meter to determine if a short circuit
current is as expected. There might be a loose PV array connection.
• If the PV array voltage close to the battery voltage, the panels could be warm/hot causing the
Maximum Power Point to be at or lower than the battery voltage.
• If the SWEEP INTERVAL is set to 00 mins, the MX60 will not periodically nd the Maximum Power
Point of the array. A sweep interval of seven to ten minutes is suggested
