EasySolar-II GX
Introduction
The Victron EasySolar-II GX integrates the following elements:
- A powerful Multiplus inverter/charger,
- A SmartSolar MPPT solar charge controller
- A simplified GX display and interface.
These elements come prewired together inside a single unit. This greatly simplifies most installations, saving time and money.
The EasySolar-II still requires some knowledge and training in configuration.
The individual elements of this system also have their own respective documentation, and it should be referred to and understood before attempting installation.
Configuration
As the EasySolar is made of different elements, the configuration requires use of several configuration tools.
SmartSolar MPPT solar charge controller
The MPPT solar charge controller is programmable in the VictronConnect app via Bluetooth on Android, iOS and macOS, though not Windows at this stage. For full compatibility information with various platforms, please see https://www.victronenergy.com/live/victronconnect:start
The VE.Direct port that is located on the EasySolar-II GX is connected to the GX device, not the MPPT. It cannot be used for connection of USB to VE.Direct cable for programming the MPPT.
MPPT programming must be done via a compatible Bluetooth device in VictronConnect.
Multiplus Inverter / Charger
Programming the Multiplus Inverter / Charger requires a MK3 USB dongle for offline local programming, or can be done via an internet connection with Remote VEConfigure https://www.victronenergy.com/live/vrm_portal:remote-veconfigure
