You are at the house on a Sunday evening, everything is now quiet and you want to know how it goes with your solar system at the cottage. Is it a dream or reality?
In fact, it is very possible. It is even done via cell phone thanks to the applications and web portals that some companies set up for their product.
This is the cas for Vicron and Magnum, two companies that specialize in inverters and regulators. Via the built-in Bluetooth of some devices, you can check your system data by just being nearby, convenient for when you are in the drink without any WiFi connection.
If, on the contrary, the internet is at your disposal, forget the geographical limits. You will be able to access this data via the comfort of your sofa (or any other place to which you can be connected).
Here is a list of products and accessories that allow you to access data via Bluetooth and internet for local and remote access:
For the Vicron range:
Painting Venus GX Remote order
As its name suggests, it allows access to your information remotely and that's not bad. The device has no screen. You will therefore need a cell phone, tablet or computer to have access to your data and control your system.

For the Magnum range:
Magnum battery Monitoring Kit (with or without shunting)
The kit allows you to remotely monitor the charging status of your battery.
The device can transmit data from your battery to a ME-RC Magnum display (version 2.0 and plus) and ME-ARC for on-site system control: the data will be displayed as a gasoline gauge to make it easier to read information and prevent you from unnecessarily loading your batteries.
It allows you to have access to the same information online via their platform: data.magnumenergy.com
To be able to connect this device, you must have a Magnum inverter with a Network port.
We have 2 versions of the same kit:

Magnum generator remote starter
If the previous accessory makes it possible to see the state of charge of your batteries, it does not allow to activate their recharging by generator if necessary.
We suggest that you combine your monitoring system with this device in order to have full control over your battery.
