Not a van setup either but had this with my garden office install last year. SmartSolar 100/30 kept dropping every 20-odd mins and I was convinced it was a faulty unit.
Ended up being the phone...
@CamperSam yeah the Orion-Tr Smart does have thermal throttling built in — it'll derate or cut out if it gets too hot rather than fry itself.
Had similar with mine in the garden office setup.
@MarineGaz nailed it. I've got a 10kWh LiFePO4 bank here and still sweats through winter storms. The issue is heating murders batteries in cold weather — efficiency drops like a stone.
