Know before you buy
The Cerbo GX MK2 acts as the central communication hub for your Victron setup. It collects data from your batteries, solar chargers, and inverters, allowing you to monitor and control your entire energy system from a single interface.
Yes. By connecting the Cerbo GX MK2 to the internet via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, you can access your system's data and settings from anywhere in the world using the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal.
While it is optimized for the Victron ecosystem, the Cerbo GX MK2 is designed with broad integration capabilities. It supports a variety of third-party devices, making it suitable for complex hybrid setups that mix different hardware components.
The MK2 is an updated iteration that improves upon the original's connectivity and processing power. It is designed to handle more complex system configurations with greater reliability and faster data throughput.
A dedicated display is optional. You can view your system data through the VRM portal on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, or you can add a Victron GX Touch screen if you prefer a physical, wall-mounted display at the installation site.
The Cerbo GX MK2 is likely overkill for a basic, single-component setup. It is specifically engineered for advanced, multi-component systems where centralized monitoring and complex automation are required.
