Advanced programming and monitoring:

By connecting the Victron VE.Direct USB cable to your Victron solar charge controller, the controller will be able to communicate with the VictronConnect PC app, unlocking numerous possibilities for advanced programming and remote monitoring of your MPPT solar system. Once the controller is paired with the app, a wide range of additional features are made available, including:

– Live data transmission: Real-time information is displayed including solar panel output, battery voltage and current (flowing into and out of the battery), battery state of charge, load status and consumption.

– Detailed data logs: System activity for the past 30 days is available to view; either as in-depth daily logs or as a monthly summary. These easy-view graphics display daily energy yield, maximum recorded power and voltage, time spent in each charging stage, minimum and maximum recorded battery voltages, error records and total energy counters.

– User-defined battery charging algorithm: Option to disable pre-set values in favour of personalised charging parameters, including user-defined absorption voltage, absorption time, float voltage, equalisation voltage and temperature compensation settings.

– Load configuration: Option to choose from one of the pre-set load management programs or create a user-defined program. Includes a streetlight function to control the duration and brightness of nighttime lighting.

– Remote On/Off control: Both the solar charge controller and load can be turned on/off via your computer.

Alternative connection: If you would prefer to monitor your Victron device using a mobile phone or other bluetooth enabled device, the Victron VE Direct Bluetooth Dongle can be used to connect your phone and Victron device via Bluetooth.
