Victron Energy GX Touch 50

The Victron Energy GX Touch 50 is a sleek 5-inch touchscreen display designed as the perfect companion to the Cerbo GX communication centre. Built for reliability, clarity, and simplicity, it provides a complete real-time overview of your solar, battery, and power system—making it ideal for off-grid homes, businesses, marine setups, and professional energy installations across Tanzania.

With its ultra-thin design, waterproof construction, and single-cable connection, the GX Touch 50 delivers a clean and flexible installation experience. Whether you’re managing a home solar system, hybrid backup setup, inverter-charger configuration, or a multi-source energy system, this display gives you instant access to performance data and system controls at your fingertips.

Features & Benefits

• Instant system overview: Through the touchscreen you can view — in real time — key metrics like battery state-of-charge (SoC), power consumption (loads), solar / generator / mains input, battery charging status, etc.
• Control and configuration: You can adjust settings — e.g. shore power input limits, generator start/stop (if configured), system alarms, and other configuration parameters — directly via the touchscreen when connected to Cerbo GX.
• Remote monitoring & control via network: When the Cerbo GX is connected, you can use remote monitoring/management through the (VRM) portal, or locally via the built-in WiFi access point, or via app (via Bluetooth + WiFi). This means you don’t need to be physically near the GX Touch 50 to monitor or control the system.
• Clean, easy installation: Because of the single-cable connection and no need for precise cutouts (for top-mount), installation is much simpler compared to older, bulkier display panels. This reduces installation time and complexity — a big plus especially in retrofit or small-space environments.
• Compact / space-efficient design: Useful especially for installations where space is limited — e.g. boats, solar homes, off-grid cabins, small control cabinets, mobile homes/RVs, caravans etc.

Use Cases

• Off-grid solar installations (home solar + battery storage) : giving real-time visibility of solar generation, battery SoC, loads, and ability to control inverters/chargers.
• Marine / boat / yacht installations : because of compactness, waterproof / splash-resistant design, and clean dashboard-style mounting.
• Mobile / small-space energy systems : RVs, caravans, motorhomes, remote cabins, tiny houses, remote industrial shelters : anywhere space is limited but you need full control over the energy system.
• Hybrid systems (solar + generator + battery + mains/shore power) : where monitoring and control of multiple power sources, battery state, generator control, AC shore power limits are important.
• Professional installations : for solar/inverter installers, electricians, system integrators who want a clean, modern interface for their customers without messy wiring or bulky panels.

Value Propositions

• Solar + off-grid demand is high: Many regions in Tanzania and similar markets rely on solar arrays and battery storage (home solar systems, small businesses, rural electrification) — a compact touchscreen display like GX Touch 50 can greatly simplify system monitoring and control.
• Compact / easy to install: In many installations (homes, small businesses, clinics, remote huts), space and electrical infrastructure may be limited. The single-cable, no-cutout installation of GX Touch 50 suits such environments better than bulky traditional control panels.
• Durability / ruggedness: Splash/dust resistance (IP54) helps in environments that may be dusty or exposed to moisture — useful in tropical climates. If you go for flush-mount version (IP65), you get even stronger protection — beneficial for rural, outdoor, or semi-outdoor installations.
• Remote monitoring capability: With VRM portal and WiFi/Bluetooth options of Cerbo GX + GX Touch 50, users can monitor & manage systems remotely — which is a big advantage when installers or users are in remote areas or distributed across multiple sites (e.g. solar mini-grids, remote cabins, clinics, schools, etc.).
• Professional-grade system interface: For installers and end-users who want a stable, modern, “set-and-forget with oversight” system — a product from a reputable brand with global support and warranty — GX Touch 50 offers a convincing value proposition.

Local Market Positioning in Tanzania

• Seen as a premium display solution for high-quality Victron solar installations.
• Favoured by professional installers, NGOs, and renewable energy contractors.
• Highly valued in regions with frequent grid outages—Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar.
• Ideal for customers demanding reliable visibility and remote monitoring of hybrid and off-grid systems.
• Often paired with Cerbo GX, MultiPlus inverters, MPPT solar chargers, and lithium battery systems.
