My Victron equipment has been stable for about a year.

I started adding solar, so multiple MPPTs. I've been disappointed with how Victron seems to choose shorepower over solar, so I've been looking for configure options.

I started by limiting my inverters Input current, which really didn't help utilize more solar. I then simple flipped my shore breaker, and this did increase my solar wattage coming in, but not by much. But I did notice, when using my microwave, my solar input watts goes real high - getting like 1400watts with 2000watts of panels, but as soon as the microwave is off, im back down to 400-500 watts of solar.

Long story short, today I physically connected to my inverter and enabled "Prioritize other energy sources"....which really didn't seem to make any difference on my solar input wattage, so i disabled it. Now my inverter keeps showing as "off" on the display and my ac load is W / no load. Whats weird is my AC circuits definitely still have power and my direct connection to in inverter shows the batteries are in "absorption" and i see AC loads that look normal.

I also click the windmill icon (which was enabled after turning on the "Prioritizeother energy"), which im under the impression is supposed to fully charge your batteries.

I tried to reboot the Cerbo, thinking it just not syncing, but no change.

I feel like the prioritize other energy setting made additional changes, that are not reversed by simply turning the setting off.
