Victron Energy - Venus GX

Victron Venus GX: Centralised Monitoring and Control for Your Energy System

Advanced Communication Hub for Victron Power Installations

The Victron Venus GX serves as the intelligent communication centre for your entire Victron energy system, enabling seamless integration, real-time monitoring, and remote management. Designed for professional installers and system owners, this compact device connects inverters, solar chargers, battery monitors, and more into a single, intuitive interface. Whether you manage a residential Energy Storage System (ESS), a marine setup, or an off-grid installation, the Venus GX delivers the data and control needed to optimise performance and reliability.

Unlike basic monitoring solutions, the Venus GX provides a unified platform that reduces complexity and enhances situational awareness. It bridges the gap between hardware and actionable insights, helping you prevent downtime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify system maintenance.

Comprehensive Connectivity for Victron Devices

The Venus GX supports an extensive range of Victron products, including MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers, BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, BMV battery monitors, Lynx Ion + Shunt, and Skylla-i battery chargers. With two isolated VE.Direct ports, two paralleled VE.Can RJ45 sockets, and VE.Bus interfaces, you can connect multiple devices without additional converters. For systems requiring more than two VE.Direct connections, the built-in USB host ports offer a straightforward expansion path.

This broad compatibility ensures that your entire Victron ecosystem works together cohesively, from small mobile setups to large three-phase configurations. The Venus GX also integrates Fronius PV inverters and NMEA2000 tank sensors, extending its utility beyond Victron-only environments.

Remote Monitoring via VRM Portal

All system data is forwarded to the Victron Remote Management (VRM) Portal, a free cloud-based platform that provides detailed visualisations, historical logging, and remote access. Through VRM, you can view real-time performance metrics, track energy production and consumption, and receive alerts for critical events. The Remote Console feature allows full device configuration and monitoring from anywhere with an internet connection, reducing the need for on-site visits.

For installations without continuous internet access, the Venus GX stores up to 48 hours of internal data logging. By inserting a microSD card or USB drive, you can extend storage capacity and later upload data to VRM or analyse it offline using the VictronConnect app. This flexibility is particularly valuable for remote or mobile applications where connectivity is intermittent.

Intelligent Generator Management

The Venus GX includes a highly customisable automatic generator start/stop system. Using parameters such as state of charge, voltage, load, and time-based rules, you can program the device to start and stop a backup generator precisely when needed. Define quiet hours to avoid noise disturbances and schedule periodic test runs to ensure generator readiness. This feature optimises fuel consumption and extends generator life while maintaining battery health.

Energy Storage System (ESS) Integration

As the energy manager in an ESS, the Venus GX coordinates power flows between solar, battery, grid, and loads. It enables advanced functions like peak shaving, self-consumption maximisation, and grid feed-in management. For homeowners and businesses seeking energy independence, the Venus GX provides the intelligence to make the most of stored energy and reduce reliance on the grid.
