First time Solar panelist! (18 Viewers)

[Gingernuts]

My new to me van has a solar panel and a victron controller ( that I’ve just found)
The controller box has only leds to display what it’s doing, yellow green and blue (photo)what would I need to do/buy to get info of how much charge going in/out etc?
It charges 2 x Varta sealed lead acid ( I think ) batteries. There is no switch to isolate Solar panel to battery supply either.

Download the Victron Connect App onto your phone, link to the controller via bluetooth and away you go.

dowload the bluetooth connect app to your phone to see the ins and ours or add it via a shunt.

the default password is 000000 if it has a different one you will need to reset it like this

Your set up has a fuse to the battery but really needs one to the solar panels so you can disconnect them via pulling the fuse .
