Hello, I would like you to help me with what I’m about to do. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated:
I have a system with 8 panels of 410 W, Voc = 49.4 V and Isc = 10.59 A. The panels are arranged in 2 strings of 4 each.
I’m going to use a Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Tr charge controller, 250 V (input), 60 A (output), with 12/24/36/48 V output. The inverter is a Victron Energy Quattro 48 V, 5000 VA and 70 A.
I want to add this battery: Pytes E-BOX-48100R, 51.2 V, 5.12 kWh. But I understand it’s not plug-and-play and that some configuration is required.
If anyone here has installed these batteries with Victron equipment, I would really appreciate any guidance you can provide.
On site there is a Color Control GX, which I’m not sure will work for this, or if I need a Cerbo GX (I bought one and will bring it as well).
My MPPT uses VE.Direct; it does not have a CAN port. So it connects via a VE.Direct cable to the Color Control (or the Cerbo GX).
The Quattro uses VE.Bus; it does not have a CAN port. So it connects via a VE.Bus cable to the Color Control (or the Cerbo GX).
The battery is CAN, but I’m not sure if it has an internal terminator.
