We just released Venus OS v2.32. There is a blog about the TU Delft Solar Boat Team who are determined to make it to Monaco after severe damage to the boat. One about a Bicycle and Solar Panel powered Solar Sound System; and a 3-Phase Energy Storage System for Czech used-truck dealer Dvorák Trucks who have greatly increased self-consumption from their PV array. Please check the list of updated documentation, new and updated certificates, training events and exhibitions we have for you..
Venus OS v2.32 – important update
Today we released version 2.32 of Venus OS – the software at the heart of our GX Product range.
This release fixes VE.Bus communication errors in split, parallel and three-phase systems that contain a Color Control GX with part number BPP010300100R. Also recognisable by the country of origin: Hungary. All other CCGX part numbers, made in China and India, are not affected. CCGX-es with this part number were first shipped in 2017. We strongly recommend to install this update to any parallel, split and three phase systems that have a Color Control GX and were installed in the last two years. For more information read the blog.

NICE TO KNOW
TU Delft Solar Boat Team Manage a crisis
After having solved their boat’s software problems, and whilst out on the IJsselmeer water running tests, the craft of the TU Delft Solar Boat Team hit an underwater obstruction and sustained severe damage – immediately ending further planned test-runs for the day. But nothing can stop a group of determined people.
Solar Sound System – Summer Smoothing
The man behind the turntables needs your help. So that you can continue to enjoy the smooth sounds of summer you’ll need to donate some pedal power. For twenty years the Bicycle and Solar Panel powered Solar Sound System (3S) has been spreading its ecology message against a background of music.
Three-Phase, Grid-tied, Energy Storage System ….Czech it out
Helped by a generous state subsidy, Czech used-truck dealer Dvorák Truckshave been able to dramatically increase self-consumption from their PV array, and provide themselves with greater three-phase energy security.
This very tidy installation was designed by Asolar in association with the Czech and Slovak Victron distributor Neosolar.
