Hi,
We have installed a 3F Victron system in my brothers house, which consist:
- 3x Multiplus II 48/3000
- 2x SmartSolar MPPT 250/60
- 3x Pylontech US5000
- Cerbo GX
I'm a bit confused about the connecting 2 MPPTs in the system. I've read several topics here (most of them a bit old (2019)) and also an article about synchronized charging https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/VE.Smart_Networking/en/synchronised-charging---further-details.html
however, I'm still not sure, whether we did it correctly.
The 2 MPPTs are connect to Cerbo via VE.direct and both have the same setting and both are seen correctly in Cerbo. The Pylontech batteries are also connected to Cerbo and shows correct data.
Based on the articles and topics I've read, I'm confused about how it should be connected.
If I understood correctly, if there is a Cerbo, which manages the Pylontech BMS and also the MPPT, I don't need to do anything else. However, in the Victron article is this sentence:
"For chargers that are already connected and synchronised over VE.Can, pairing them in a VE.Smart Network is not necessary. In case they are paired, the pairing will be ignored."
since we have VE.Direct, not VE.Can, should we enable the Smart network or not? Or does the Cerbo take care of the voltage/current from the 2 MPPTs based on the date from BMS?
Thanks for any advice :)
