I have connected my GlobalLink 520 to my BMWV 712 and SmartSolar 100/30, and everything seems fine, except that I cant get any data for the solar charger PV voltage and current. The widget for this in the VRM says “No data to display”. All the other widgets works fine. What is my problem?
Hi @asson
This is a known limitation that is documented in the GlobalLink manual - though it requires a careful reading.
If you connect the BlueSolar MPPT via VE.Direct, PV voltage and current are sent.
If you connect a SmartSolar, they are not.
Does it work with a SmartSolar connected via VE.Direct cable (not Bluetooth)?

Hi @asson
There is delay in getting you an accurate answer, though it’s almost certainly no.
There may be some mistake in the manual, and it’s now getting corrected by someone else. Hopefully they notify me once that is done and I can post the update here and then that will be the final word.
