My AC200L starts to click periodically under low light PV situations. This seems to happen around 10V. I blieve this is the MPPT charger trying to enable the PV input but fails due to low voltage conditions. This happens in the morning and evening hours when the sun is raising or close to dawn. Two days ago there was a DSP update but it did not change this behavior.
The update seemed to improve the situation. The clicking is still there but the time period in total is much shorter. Maybe over time the developer finds a solution that is even better, but for now I am thankful for the help.
That must be what I occasionally hear, but it’s random during the day. Not really a constant problem though.
Sounds like when I plug/unplug my AC500 into the wall outlet, (I normally leave it unplugged.)
Oops. Realised this afternoon that I’d been connecting via Wi-Fi, and so hadn’t seen the available updates. Have now updated, fingers crossed that solves the issue!
Could anyone confirm whether the firmware update discussed above has solved their relay clicking? My AC200L is fully up-to-date now, but the relay is behaving as before. @BLUETTI_CARE Any help would be appreciated! As I mentioned in another thread, that relay is cycling on and off somewhere between 300 and 600 times a day at present. At this rate, it’ll come to the end of its design life sometime around Christmas.
Yes to all.
Nothing exotic about the panel setup, two of these in series:

I’ve a model for the Japanese market, so we may not be in quite the same boat. I note there’s an AC 200 PL owner who’s started a thread after running into the same issue.
When you can, unplug the solar connection once it get’s into this clicking mode. I have a AC200Max, it’s solar input doesn’t have this clicking kind of relay. I also use in addition a D050S charge enhancer, which connects through the AC input. That has a clicking relay which can get going and get’s annoying for a bit. I circumvented it by plugging the charge enchanter into one of my connected B300 expansion batteries, it isn’t afflicted by the click phenomenon.
