Solar & Wind Priority

4. Operation

In this section:

Once solar and wind priority is activated, it can be overridden at any time via a virtual switch in VictronConnect, the VRM portal or the GX device to force charging with shore power to charge the battery to 100%. Once charging is complete, the system will return to sustain mode and prioritise solar and wind power.

This is especially useful when you go on a trip with a fully charged battery or to balance the lithium batteries. The forced charging via shore power can be cancelled anytime using the same switch.

Via VictronConnect:

To force a charge from shore power or stop a forced charge with VictronConnect:

  1. Open VictronConnect and tap on the VE.Bus inverter/charger overview (connected either via VE.Bus Smart Dongle or MK3 to USB interface)

  2. Tap the Solar & Wind icon next to the battery icon.

  3. Tap 'OK' in the pop-up window.
