Overview

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can is an intelligent 1000A shunt with location for a fuse (not included), the built-in battery monitor accurately monitors the state of charge of your battery. Use a GX device (e.g. Cerbo GX) for reading out the information. Part of the modular Lynx distribution system.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can contains a positive and negative busbar, a battery monitor and a fuse holder for the main system fuse. It is part of the Lynx Distribution system. The Lynx Distributor has a power LED.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can can communicate via VE.Can with an GX device.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can ships with two RJ45 VE.Can terminators, these are used when connecting to a GX device. The Lynx Shunt VE.Can is designed to hold a CNN fuse. The fuse needs to be purchased separately. For more info see section Fusing in the Lynx Shunt VE.Can manual.

Lynx Shunt VE.Can is a positive busbar with a space for a main system fuse and a negative busbar with a shunt for battery monitoring. It has VE.Can communication for monitoring and setup with a GX device.

Reading the specifications

Detailed specifications for Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can have not been published yet. Victron Energy lists this charge controller in the Charge Controllers, and we add fields as the manufacturer releases them — in the meantime, ask your distributor for the datasheet before ordering.

For a charge controller, the figures that matter most are type: MPPT or PWM, rated charge current in amps, which must exceed the array's short-circuit current with margin, maximum PV open-circuit voltage, the hard limit that must survive cold-morning Voc rise and supported battery voltages (12/24/36/48 V) and chemistries. In any system with a battery and a separate array, the controller is what protects the most expensive component and determines how much of the array's output actually reaches storage.

Before you buy a charge controller

The checks below apply to any charge controller. Run them against the specification table above — most disappointing solar purchases are compatible-on-paper units that fail one of these in practice.

Check the maximum PV input voltage against the array's Voc at your coldest expected temperature, not at 25 °C — Voc rises as temperature falls, and exceeding the limit destroys the controller instantly.
Confirm the controller supports your battery chemistry with the right charge profile. Lithium, AGM, gel and flooded batteries need different absorption and float voltages.
Prefer a unit with temperature compensation or a battery temperature sensor if the bank lives somewhere that gets hot or cold.
Choose MPPT over PWM for anything beyond a very small array. An MPPT controller harvests roughly 20–30% more energy because it converts excess panel voltage into charge current instead of throwing it away.

Common mistakes

Sizing on rated array watts alone and ignoring the voltage ceiling, which is the most common way controllers are killed.
Using a PWM controller with a high-voltage grid-tie panel — the voltage mismatch wastes a large share of the panel's output.
Running the load output beyond its rating instead of wiring heavy loads directly to the battery through a fuse.

Price and availability in United Arab Emirates

Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can is listed at $ 374 (USD) for United Arab Emirates. Solar pricing moves with supply, import duties and exchange rates, and distributors set their own margins, so treat this as a comparison reference and confirm the current figure before you order.

SolarBazaar compares equipment rather than selling it. Shortlist here on specification and price, then buy from an authorised distributor or installer in United Arab Emirates: warranty cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports Victron Energy locally before ordering.

Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can — frequently asked questions

How much does Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can cost?

Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can is listed at $ 374 (USD) for United Arab Emirates. The figure is indicative — solar prices move with supply, duties and exchange rates, and each distributor sets its own margin — so confirm the current price with a supplier before ordering.

Who makes Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can?

Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can is a Victron Energy product, listed under charge controllers with model reference LYNX-SHUNT. The Victron Energy brand page lists the rest of its range so you can compare across the catalogue.

Is Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can right for my system?

That depends on what it has to connect to. For a charge controller, check type: MPPT or PWM, rated charge current in amps, which must exceed the array's short-circuit current with margin and maximum PV open-circuit voltage, the hard limit that must survive cold-morning Voc rise against the rest of your equipment before price enters the decision. Choose MPPT over PWM for anything beyond a very small array. An MPPT controller harvests roughly 20–30% more energy because it converts excess panel voltage into charge current instead of throwing it away.

Where can I buy Victron Lynx Shunt VE.Can in United Arab Emirates?

SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and price here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer in United Arab Emirates — buying in-channel is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.
