Connecting (6) 75/15 bluesolar charge controllers to a Raspberry Pi running venus os

In my rv, I have (6) 410w panels and each one has it's own mppt Bluesolar 75/15 charge controller to minimize the problem of shadows on one dragging down the rest. I would like to connect them to the Raspberry pi running venus os. I was thinking about getting 6 VE Connect cables with a usb hub. I'm not sure how that would look on the pi screen. would I be able to see each controller or would they all stack on top each other on the display? Is there another option to maybe place a shunt or some kind of sensor at the out put of the charge controllers and program the venus to display it as solar? Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No problem, that is where the focus will increasingly be, so hopefully a better chance of a response and ultimately helping others with a similar question in future.
