It is self-powered, it needs no wiring, and it reports irradiance, estimated solar power, daily yield, and panel cell temperature straight to your phone or GX device. If you run an off-grid or grid-limited system and want to know what your panels could be producing, not just what your batteries happen to be accepting, this compact sensor is a smart addition to your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVictron Energy SolarSense 750 Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSelf-Powered Design For Installing Without Running Cable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SolarSense 750 has an integrated solar panel that powers the unit, with a rechargeable internal battery (40 mAh, 3.6 V). There are no power or data cables to route, which makes it a practical choice for remote or hard-to-reach panel locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstant Readout Bluetooth For Checking Your Array From Your Phone\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor communicates wirelessly using Victron's Instant Readout (BLE advertisements).

The SolarSense 750 provides real-time data on available solar power, so you or an automation system can redirect that surplus to extra loads such as a water heater or household appliances, which may reduce how much you draw from your batteries later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eStored Trends And History For Tracking Performance Over Time\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor keeps a record so you can look back, not just at the present moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrends (31 days):\u003c\/strong\u003e irradiance, estimated power, and temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistory (730 days):\u003c\/strong\u003e max daily irradiance, min\/max daily estimated solar power, min\/max daily temperature, and daily estimated yield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePilot Device Capability For Planning Your Next Panel Layout\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictron notes that the SolarSense 750 can act as a pilot device, helping you measure solar yield and available power in different locations, at different panel orientations, and across changing seasons. That information can be valuable when you are designing a future PV system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCompact, Weather-Rated Build For Mounting Right On The Panel Frame\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor measures 110 x 78 x 32 mm (about 5.91 x 3.35 x 1.57 in), carries an IP65 protection rating, and has an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C. It slides into a bracket that mounts against the side of your solar panel frame, with an alignment ledge to help you position it correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eGX Device Integration For Monitoring Alongside Your Other Victron Gear\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can enable the SolarSense 750 under Settings, Integrations, Bluetooth Sensors on a GX device. From there it appears in the Devices menu, where you can read irradiance, cell temperature, installation power, today's yield, and the sensor's battery voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-World Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOff-grid homes and cabins:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch how much solar power is actually available, and decide when surplus energy is worth sending to a water heater or other additional load instead of letting it go to waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomeowners with grid-limited systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the history and trend data to understand how your array performs through the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRV and mobile setups:\u003c\/strong\u003e If your panels are mounted on a frame, the sensor can sit on that frame and report in without adding more wiring. Keep in mind that a metal roof or frame between the sensor and your phone can shorten Bluetooth range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobile businesses and remote sites:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep tabs on panel temperature and available solar power at a glance, which helps when your equipment is spread out or hard to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem designers and DIYers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place it in different spots or orientations to gather real-world data before you commit to a permanent layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow The SolarSense 750 Compares To Typical Alternatives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolar monitoring usually starts with whatever data your charge controller shows. That is useful, but it generally reflects what the system is harvesting at that moment. The SolarSense 750 is built to report available solar power, irradiance, and temperature at the panel itself, which adds a different layer of insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWired sensors can be a good fit for permanent installations, but they require cable runs. The SolarSense 750 takes a cable-free approach with its integrated solar panel and wireless communication. The tradeoff is that Bluetooth range depends on your installation conditions, so it is best suited to setups where you can monitor from within range or through a GX device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs The Victron Energy SolarSense 750 Right For You\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor makes sense if you want better visibility into your solar array without adding wiring.
