We are excited to introduce Victron Click & Design – an intuitive online tool that helps you build and simulate a 48V solar ESS system step by step. It estimates how your system would perform in real-life conditions using actual solar data from the past year.

Today we’ve released v6.19 of our VictronConnect App. This version includes firmware v1.25 for the Multi RS, adding 3-phase support for the German grid code, and can now be installed via VictronConnect v6.19.

We are pleased to announce the release of Venus OS v3.63 for GX devices. This update adds TAB batteries to the compatibility list, includes targeted bug fixes, general system improvements, and improved hardware support.

The Color Control GX was launched in 2013 as the first-generation GX device and marked the beginning of what has become one of Victron’s most important product lines. Today, GX devices remain one of Victron's unique selling points in the market. The growing ecosystem of integrations, hardware support and our new user interface have outgrown the capabilities of the Color Control GX, and we have therefore decided to retire it.

Today we’ve released firmware v1.25 for the Inverter RS and Multi RS, and the major update is that it adds 3-phase support for Germany ESS systems. The certificate is available on our website.

Last week, we hosted a webinar to introduce the latest updates to the VRM Portal. Here is a quick overview of what we covered.

The new GX IO-Extender 150 is a compact solution to expand the number of inputs, outputs and relays on a GX device. It was a much-requested solution, offering a smaller and simpler alternative to installing an additional Cerbo GX.

We are glad to introduce a new PV Inverter mode in Multi RS firmware v1.24. The ESS mode can now be set to ‘PV Inverter only (without batteries)’, allowing the system to operate without a battery by feeding all PV surplus directly back to the grid.

Venus OS v3.61 is now available for the Venus GX. This update fixes the Ethernet/LAN conectivity issue introduced in v3.60, which affected some production series.

We have recently released Orion XS firmware v1.12, which fixes the VHF radio interference issue for all models.

Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger models with 48V output (12/48, 24/48, and 48/48) had an issue where charging didn’t always start, depending on the model or actual voltages. This has now been fixed with the new firmware v1.16.
