Solar at 100% and at 23

Hello,
I received my Davis VP2 Plus today :smiley: However, I seem to have a problem that I can’t find the answer to. The solar % is at 100.0 all the time. I have rechecked my settings umteen times and can’t figure it out. Attached is a .gif image The actual solar at this time is about 23 mv/2. Should be 5-10% max.


post a screen shot of the solar setup, max solar for lat/long

This is a set up issue not a bug. Please post screen shots of your solar set up screens, and the lat/long setup screen , and then we can help you.

Is WD calculating sunrise/set correctly for your location?

Oops, sorry for the wrong board posting. I had been looking in bugs and questions and didn’t realize I was still in the bugs forum. :oops:

Below are the relevant screens from the solar setup. It’s dark here now so I won’t know for sure until tomorrow but I had had the "store solar value as extra temp #4 ticked from when I had a 1-wire solar sensor. I unticked that and restarted WD and it now shows as 0.0% but I’m not sure if that was the problem or not.


i suspect you might have still the 1 wire solar settings in use in the solar setup

Ok, I went back in and de-selected the VP UV and Solar in station settings, went in to the com port settings and selected the 1-wire settings, went back into solar settings and had checked “calculate % from raw compared to max” and “plot this %.” I un-checked them and reset the other settings in station setup and com setup and will have to wait till tomorrow to see.

yes, you will have to un do all the 1 wire solar settings like those i think
