CRE x Victron for your most demanding energy needs
CRE Technology & Victron Energy: Expertise at the heart of hybrid power systems
Victron Energy is a leading international player in the field of energy equipment. Based in the Netherlands, the company has been designing and manufacturing innovative solutions for energy conversion, storage, and management for over 45 years. Its products are widely recognized for their reliability and performance, particularly in off-grid, marine, industrial, and backup applications.
It is with this focus on performance and robustness that CRE Technology has developed a close collaboration with Victron Energy. This partnership is based on a shared vision: to offer intelligent hybrid solutions that optimize energy production and consumption while ensuring maximum service continuity.
Thanks to the joint development carried out by CRE and Victron engineers, the installation and configuration of the systems are both simple and quick. This technical synergy results in total compatibility between the CRE Technology hybrid controllers and the Cerbo GX , ensuring efficient and reliable plug & play communication. Together, we offer robust, high-performance solutions that are ready to meet any energy challenge.
Smart energy management for small and medium power applications
In low to medium power configurations integrating a single battery energy storage system (BESS) and a single genset, the complementary between Victron Energy and CRE Technology products becomes fully apparent. In this architecture, Victron's Cerbo GX plays the role of system master, intelligently managing the various energy sources.
The batteries supply power to the load and are mainly recharged by solar energy, minimizing fuel consumption and supporting environmentally-friendly operation. If the batteries or solar generation are not sufficient to cover demand, the generator automatically starts up according to configured conditions. For example, when the battery charge level becomes low.
For optimum efficiency in terms of fuel consumption, the batteries are recharged at a high rate. Once the desired state of charge has been reached, the generator stops again.
This automated management ensures continuous power supply while optimizing available energy resources.
