Hello, with venus you don't get any cables. You need them buy extra. You get all the stuff to mount it on the wall, but no cables (only powercable with fuse). Just let me know here what parts do you have in your system (inverter, MPPT, battery and so on) to give you all cables you need.

I am new to solar systems so I dont know a great deal about them yet, however I was a computer engineer so I am a bit of a techie.

Hi @Ron,

The VenusGX manual shows what is included in the box, and what connections are required for various Victron devices.
