I have four Smart Solar MPPTs. Each has a VE.DIRECT output, however the Cerbo GX only has three VE.DIRECT ports. What is the method for getting more than three MPPT controllers talking to a Cerbo? Thanks in advance.

Hi use a good quality powered usb hub!

If you have the can models you can daisy chain them with a utp cable.

But the usb hub works well.

As you have 4 VE Direct controllers use VE Direct cables on 3 of them and a VE Direct to USB cable for the 4th. If more then a hub. It is all in the manual.
