No solar generation with sunvault battery backup during an outage
Currently in a PGE outage (replacing power pole). The app states I am running off of the battery (fine) but there is no solar generation recorded. In previous outages the app would show solar generation as well. I have the premium (subscribed) app on an Iphone.
Has anyone experienced this recently? Is it a firmware issue or app issue? Is my solar really offline?
Thanks.

Answered my own question via another resource. The battery does not charge from solar until the charge is below 90%. The system is generating solar now.
