I can see from the "font" that you are running patched firmware. With patched firmware, the panel becomes a mini power meter (bar chart), showing 0, 1, 2, or 3 bars, for 0-499, 500-1499, 1500-2499, or 2500+ watts. Think of it as the number of kilowatts of PV power, rounded to the nearest whole number.

If you never see any "bars" in there, it means that your PV power never exceeds 500 W. The fact that you see at least the empty frame there means that you are potentially using some solar power, just not 500 or more watts.

It's mentioned in the AussieView and KettleKomp Manual, in your update .zip file, or available here:

you are right him and his mate @weber are very clever. they patched original firmware and allowed the public to use it. I, personally, am very grateful to them.

Ah. If your main firmware version is LC1_72_70c, then you likely have a clone that can't be firmware updated.

So the good/bad news is, you're stuck with these advanced features 😬

ok thanks...i looked ..and saw this version is LC1_72_70c.

i added more load on the weekend and saw the lights did come on...the more sun and more load brought the lights on as it works in steps like you mentioned above depending on the load..so far so good.

i would just like to have the option of flashing the firmware if i ever wanted too.

but everything is working 100%

thanks a lot clever man-xd
