    Solar Remote Display

    Good evening all,

    Working our way through our new Solitude. We ordered with factory solar. During our "orientation", that was essentially useless, we received ZERO info on the solar system. Reviewing posts here, most are indicating a remote display for status and programming. I am unable to locate said display. What we do have is the BT-2 bluetooth module to use on an app.

    Does this seem legit?

    Thanks in advance for any knowledge sent our way!

    Kim

    This is a shot in the dark, but have you tried downloading the Renogy BT app? Try downloading it, open it, then ht the + sign and "Add Device."

    Have you opened the passenger side basement door and looked at the rear wall? That is where our factory Jaboni solar charge controller remote display was located on our 2020 Solitude 310GK.

    Not a shot in the dark at all. Yep, have done the app, it works, no issue. But it would be nice to have something more accessible, rather than dragging a phone out.

    I have been in all compartments looking for that pictured, all with no luck. I'm wondering if they did away with that and are solely providing the bluetooth option.

    Pretty sure you are not supposed to ever be more than 6' away from your phone now.

    This is true, but I can use and hear it while safely in my pocket. Working in and on these things, for me, works out better with both hands available.

    In all seriousness, the real issue is the randomness of what a purchased package actually delivers.

    That could be. If so, poor decision.

    I agree. Unfortunately, my dealer isn't the most helpful at the options and inclusions. Hopefully I can at least find out what my optional solar should have included.

    I would recommend calling Grand Design, first thing in the morning, with your VIN, and ask. They have been very helpful when I've had questions.
