Frequently Asked Questions
How much solar can I connect?
Up to 700W on a 12V bank or 1400W on 24V (at 50A output). Array Voc must stay under 100V including cold-weather correction.
What's the difference between SmartSolar and BlueSolar?
SmartSolar has Bluetooth built in; BlueSolar requires a separate dongle. Both share the same MPPT engine.
Can it charge lithium batteries?
Yes — selectable LiFePO4 presets plus fully custom profiles, and it integrates with Victron GX devices for closed-loop control.
Can I monitor it remotely?
Yes — via Bluetooth locally, or add a GX device for full VRM cloud monitoring alongside your inverter and battery.
