EG4-6000XP – MPPT1 ghost voltage + both MPPTs get stuck after clouds

I’m having a strange issue with my EG4-6000XP.

During the day, when a cloud passes, both PV input drop to almost 0–100 W and stay stuck like that, even if the sun comes back. They only recover to ~4kw or ~5kw if I turn PV OFF/ON and it is not cloudy.

I also discovered that PV1 shows a “ghost” voltage (13–30 V) at night, from the logs this started on October 31st. I did measure the inverter PV terminals and both reads ~0.5V so whatever it is, it seems to be internal to the inverter.

I dis some testing today:

  • If I disconnect PV1 completely, the issue still happens with PV2 alone (Power stuck at ~100w).
  • If I move the PV2 array to MPPT1, I get some power again, but MPPT2 starts showing ghost voltage in the inverter, not in the terminals (around 17 V).
  • Probably worth mentioning that I received the error E017: Internal communication fault 2 a couple of times before this started, but as the manual says I just rebooted the inverter and the error went away.

I am on ccaa-190D0E firmware and see there is a new one, not sure if upgrading it would make any difference though.

Is this a known software issue or can you help me trouble shoot this problem?

Are you able to share your station name or inverter's serial number so I can look into this for you?

Prior to getting the E017, did you have any issues with the PV or any other Error codes? Have you changed any strings or anything like that prior to this happening?
