I am in the process of designing a solar power system for multiple remote installations that are spread out across multiple kilometers. These locations will each have an RTU or PLC controlling the installation and either radio or fibre communications to remotely control and monitor the installation. The BlueSolar/SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers seemed to be the best product for charging the 48 V batteries that will be used however it seems like I will need to use one of the GX products to remotely monitor instead of being able to use my existing communications hardware. Given tight space, cost and power constraints this is not ideal. Each installation will have a single 48 V, 20 Ah lithium battery and a small solar array.
So the simple question is, can I use the VRM software to remotely control and monitor charge controllers through non-proprietary radio/fibre communications options?
