Connecting two mppt's to an inverter

I have two mppt charge controllers (100|50) who charge a battery. I would like to connect these charge controllers (with each a VE terminal) to the my inverter multiplus compact 24v|2000. This inverter has just one UTP terminal left. How can I both charge controllers connect with the inverter?

Short answer - you can't!

The features you may be chasing are likely available though with a GX box like a CCGX or VenusGX. They can interface both devices and provide an experience worthy of the spend, especially given the www to work with.

I know this is very late, but I use this USB Octopus Hub to plug in two smart solar Controllers into my RP Venus GX. I am going to add a BMV to the equation soon and assume I will need another very long USB cable to connect that into the GX too as it will be at least 20 feet away from the GX.

This very helpful. Thank you guys.

Another question though; so I have to connect 2 MPPT controllers to my CCGX. How do I do that, since the CCGX has only 2 VE.Direct ports? I have 2 MultiPlus, and a BMV-702 to connect to the CCGX as well.

Thanks
