I have a pair of Sunny Boy 5000 PV inverters without Speedwire/Webconnect modules. Is it possible to connect their output via a 100A/50mA CT to my Cerbo GX or Multiplus II? I have read that I need the Speedwire module, but don't believe this as all I want is a CT's signal named PV or whatever that's read by my Victron equipment.
you can use a victron AC current sensor , one for each sunny boy. connected on there active outputs, then a new solar tile will show showing the combined output of the 2 pv units,
A assistant has to be added to the multiplus for each ac current sensor
I think there's been a bit of confusion here: I'd like to use the current transformer in my original post, not Victron's sensor. I've checked the sensor's spec. and yes, looks like I'd need 2 of them. That's a bit of a waste as I expected to just buy 1 module. I still can't see why I can't in theory use the CT I bought for the job.
