22’ Roadtrek Zion - Solar Questions

[ZionAcrossAmerica]

hey everyone,

i’m a bit puzzled by the solar output on a zion we purchased new a few months ago. most days even in full sunlight the Epever MPPT controller shows night mode.

as an example today, we are in new york city and the sky is clear with full sunlight, yet the controller shows night mode and our battery voltage shows 13.0v so clearly not full.

over the course of the past month i have only seen the controller show the panels producing power no more than five times.

do other zion owners have a similar experience?

for context our van has 300w solar option consisting of three 100w panels, and the 600ah lithium battery option (though i’ve found nowhere what the actual battery configuration is).

thanks in advance, this community’s knowledge is impressive.
