Need Help With System in RV

Hello. I'm brand new to all of this.

Just purchased a 2022 Keystone 220RD travel trailer which has a package called SolarFlex200 installed.

There is a solar panel on the roof and then in the passthrough there is a blue box that says Victron MPPT 75 I 15. I downloaded the application, but have no idea how to understand it.

Also it seems to be missing the line that tells me how much battery time is left.

Would someone please give me some guidance into what this little box is for and how to use the application with it.

Thanks

Read through the manual for Victron Connect, located here:

It’s pretty step by step on what you are looking at, and was a big help to me.

The MPPT only shows you what you getting from the sun. It's not able to show you what's happening with the battery.

It's simply a charger to take the solar panel output and charge your battery.

If you want to know the state of charge of your battery, you need a battery monitor. There may or may not be one in the other kit that's installed.

Don't change the settings on the MPPT until you understand things better. They probably don't need setting anyway.

Would the installation of a smart shunt be able to tell me what's going on with the battery?
