I am the proud owner of an older Wanderlodge Motorhome and I’m trying to come to grips with the Solar / Inverter system.
I have:
(2) Victron Multiplus 12/ 3000/ 120 Inverter chargers, currently in split phase configuration.
Color control GX and BMV 702
Victron MPPT 150 100 TR (linked to 4 Canadian Solar 340 Watt Panels)
Everything is working pretty good, but I would like to connect a ve.bus smart dongle to the inverters.
1) Will I need 2 of the smart dongles (1 for each inverter)? Or can I just connect 1 smart dongle to the slave or master inverter?
2) Can I use Victron Connect through the smart dongle to change split phase to parallel configuration? I believe this is an option with the latest software update, but I’m not 100% on that.
I connected a borrowed windows laptop to the CCGX and used Victron connect and ve.bus quick configure. I was able to switch between split phase and parallel using the ve.bus quick configure, but ran out of time to try this on Victron connect. I don’t have access to a laptop on a regular basis, so I was hoping the dongle would offer a solution.
any help would be appreciated!
