Cerbo GX many MPPT's

I just got the Cerbo GX. Is very important that I know how to manage the VE.connect. I have 3 MPPT's, one wind generator, and one BMV 700 to connect. How can I do that with only 3 VE.connect? Any body knows? Today I was planning to order some VE.CONNECT cables, before I expend any money I would like to know more.

Hi @Maloya,

you can also use the USB ports on the Cerbo GX. For that you need a VE.Direct to USB adapter.

And if they are all in use, you can extend the USB ports with an active Hub.

Thank you very much! You solve my problem. Even the VE.direct to USB are so expensive

Are you referring to VE.Direct?

This may be of use to you:

Summary: VE.Smart the controllers together to have them coordinate charging (assuming they're smart units)

If the MPPT support it, connect via VE.Can rather than VE.Direct.

Are the MPPT also VE.Can capable?
