Hello everyone,
I currently have 2 x Victron Smart Solar MPPT - Ve.Can for my setup. The MPPT controllers are setup to work on 2 different solar arrays. I have a 3rd array (of a different configuration as the first 2) and for budget consideration (victron gear are quite expensive - it is what it is) I am considering terminating the 3rd smaller array to an older Blue Solar MPPT 150/70 ve.can (The one with rectangular shape and display)
I am quite aware of the limitation of the older Blue Solar MPPT 150/70 ve.can especially the inability to synchronize with the new vecan mppt, and lack of support for charge management on GX which is useful for charging BMS.
- does the older Blue Solar MPPT 150/70 ve.can at least support monitoring on GX? can I update the settings or monitor it on a GX device and see it on VRM?
- If 1 is positive, then how can I go about doing this? is there a documentation?
I know that the device is EOL and no longer officially supported, but like I said earlier, Victron is premium and comes with a high cost, part of the justification for the cost of victron gear is the long runway of getting your ROI. This controller still works I just want to utilize it as much as I can rather than throwing it away to become e-waste.
