Apex 300 not detecting solar input

on several occasions (different days) I have had to unplug the solar input, then plug back in for it to start charging.
PV is on in settings
good source of sunshine
PV1 is a 200Watt Bluetti panel
PV2 is a 200watt CIGS panel

Does tapping on the PV in the app show any panel voltage?

@TripG, when it happens again I will verify that, thank you

plugged back in PV2 can hear the relay click and now producing wattage

And you said it is set to “PV” and not to the “others” position in the app correct? Is the sleep mode disabled in DC input source? What about System switch recovery? These are both under advanced settings. I have sleep mode disabled and recovery enabled. My unit makes power soon as sun starts hitting panels.

I verified all settings as you have yours set, appreciate your suggestions, maybe I’ll power down and back on, I’m also having connectivity issues via cloud from time to time, frustrating

(maybe Bluetti will weigh in on this)

I also have the same connectivity issues, which it seems on my unit to be an issue with the Bluetti servers being down or lost connection to it. It always seems like it happens in the morning and it is frustrating. I hope you get your PV input resolved and that you will post what you found when you do get it figured out.

I have 2 AC200L also and have never had an issue being able to connect to them, they are
located in the same room with the Apex300, that makes me think its an issue with the Apex300
I have also noticed on the Apex300 if I am connected and attempting to look at settings there can be a delay in the information populating, such as SOC on the Apex300 and the three aux batteries, or maybe
it never loads the information and I have to back out and make another attempt, in any case the results/information if they load are always delayed
