No.
They ports have different communication uses. VE BUS is specified for VE BUS products like the inverter and digital control.

But you should be able to switch if off remotely over the VRM using Victron Connect though if you are not on site.
@Alexandra Thank you for your answer
i'm sorry i made a big mistake i wanted to say VEdirect and i write Vebus.. i know that solar charger dont have Vebus port.
so my question us can us plug VEcan and VEdirect cables in the same time or just the ve direct
i have just on solar charger in my installation
Thank you
You can use just one. So whichever you prefer or suits your needs as in how far you need to run the cable.
You dont need both.
Either will allow you to switch off in app.
The VE can mppts simplify larger installs like 15mppts since the can can be daisy chained, so that is more the idea behind that port. And distance from gx, as ve direct has a limit in length.
