Anyone else finding their MPPT drops out on cold mornings? Running a Victron 100/30 here

Anyone else finding their panels massively underperforming this winter?

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to monitor their Victron system without paying for the full Cerbo GX?
@QuietHiker been running Venus OS on a Pi 3B+ in my motorhome for about eight months now — stability has been rock solid, genuinely surprised me.

Smart home tech that works off-grid
