I have a R-31S built in 2022. My solar panel has stopped displaying. What make and model is the solar panel on this tug?
Do you have any tips on getting the panel charging again?
The display in the cabin shows nothing and the controller in the starboard locker shows no activity.
The panel was working fine until last Tues when I noticed there was no info on the display.

Thanks so much for any information you can provide and recommendations for reactivating the solar panel.

Do you see any voltage at the solar controller? If you can put a volt meter to the solar controller.
 
Yes, there are 22 Volts coming from the Solar panel. I checked the 2 fuses and they look OK but one was coroded and I replaced it. I contacted Tim at Ranger and he recommended buying a new solar controler (Victron SmartSolar Charge Controller MPPT which I just ordered from Amazon.

I hope this solves the problem.

Thanks so much for responding.
