Input Current

I am experimenting how solar works with an Elite 200 V2 connected to an EcoFlow 160W portable panel, both recently bought brand new. The max input achievable has dropped from c140W to c45W and I am currently working through ticket 468183 to try and resolve this issue. Their custom firmware updates haven’t helped.

I would like to understand if/how/why the Bluetti unit controls the input current. The panel seems to be working fine with a measured Voc of 20.9, close to the quoted figure of 21.3V. Max Isc is quoted as 9.1A. Is it possible that the unit is somehow restricting the input current?

I have also seen reference with faulty MPPT boards: is this more likely?
