Victron : Multiple Charge Controllers

[georgelza]

Hi guys,

 

so due to roooooof, the plan to go with one x BlueSolar 150/100 MPPT has been changed to 2 x BlueSolar 150/35 MPPT's. One with 6 (3S2P) panels on and the other for now with 3 (3S1P), with an additional 3S added at a later stage (giving me 2 sets of 3S2P, each onto a CC)... and THAT will be all useable area on roof covered.

Note, one will catch more early morning, NE, and the Other will be N'ish facing, giving me a wider time frame over which I can harvest PV.

Question, I assume the 2 BlueSolar's can connect to the VenusGX... and will display data as per voltage/amperage and wattage generated by each/individually ?

Correct. The Venus-GX has two vedirect ports (essentially just isolated TTL serial comms), but you can always extend it by plugging a USB hub and using vedirect-usb cables.

You can see the individual data from the Device List, eg:

You can also give them custom names... I just didn't bother yet, so I have a bit of confusion going on on my system with two 150/35-rev2 models
