  • I wish Victron made a 2000 watt Phoenix Inverter

    I just returned from the cabin and thought I would run our cabin off of our bunkhouse system to see if a Victron 1200 24 and 100 amp hour NIFE battery system could run our cabin for the afternoon and evening. Well, it did surprisingly good, ran the well pump which showed 1030 watt on the power...
  • Breaker blank

    Is there a readily available breaker blank I can use in my Midnite Solar MNPV3 combiner? I would like to use it as a junction box only and blank out the breaker location. I think maybe a Square D homeline might work but unable to verify.
  • Victron Multiplus II and generators

    Can the Multiplus II accept non inverter type generator input? My AIO cannot and I want to make sure the Multi can.
  • Outback Power APCU2648A

    Has anyone used this model? I kind of like its modest power rating of 2600 watts, it matches our smaller 48 volt 200 amp hour battery bank. It also has a wide DC input range which should work well with our battery bank chemistry, which is NIFE. It is branded by a tier one manufacturer, but they...
  • Selling LifePo4 batteries

    Please forgive my ignorance on this subject, but how do you ship your LifePo4 batteries that you have for sale? It does not seem that the big 3 are to eager to accept this material as a shipment. I have acquired 16 -55ah cells from an estate and have no use for these, new in the box. Do you do...

  • MC4 extension cables

    In the past I have always hardwired my older panels with liquid tite and individual single wires to the panels. Now I am going to try and join this century and use MC4 cables with my new panels. Is there a MC4 extension cable made with the correct (+ - ) connectors on one end (2 conductors...
  • Midnite Solar DIY AIO and non inverter generator for battery charging?

    Hi, I have asked this question before and it never got a solid answer. Will a non inverter type generator work with the MN5048, MN3548 and MN3024 DIY AIO inverters? I am still using my SRNE AIO clone inverter and I only have two issues with it: Inverter type generator only on its AC input for...
  • Grid tie inverter with off grid system?

    Hi, Was wondering if adding a small 1000 watt 120 volt grid tie inverter to an existing 1100 watt off grid inverter would be worth it? I was thinking of keeping my existing off grid system charging my batteries and for overnight loads and using the grid tie for sunshine daytime loads...
  • SOLD! AIO 3548 for sale in Twin Cities

    I have an AIO 3500 watt 48 volt for sale. It has a MPPT voltage input limit of 145 VOC. I am currently using one of these right now but am switching to separates. This one is my spare, the one I am using has worked great, but it does not charge my battery type to a voltage level I need.( It's...
  • Anyone using MidNite Solar MN3024DIY MPPT Hybrid Inverter?

    Just curious if anyone used this inverter yet? The price sure is attractive and it would use less OCPD's and has a built in charge controller. Just not sure if it can fill the shoes of my old Trace PS2524 which is getting close to 20 years old and should be replaced soon. Wish Midnite Solar...
  • Low power 48volt inverter.

    Looking for a low power 48 volt inverter that also has low idle current. Largest load is 960 watt well pump. Victron Phoenix 1200/48 is an option. Also Outback APCU 2648A AIO as it has an ATS and charger built in. This is to replace my used Exeltech XP1100 that I used 3 times and now has no...
  • Small AIO 24 volt Inverter?

    I am looking for a small AIO 24 volt inverter and about the only one I can find is the Eco-worthy 1500 watt 24 volt model. Any others to consider? We do not require any more than 1500 watts. This would replace a Victron 24 volt 1200VA inverter and a Rich Solar 40amp MPPT. Both work fine, just...
  • Victron Energy MultiPlus 2000 Watt 48 Volt Inverter & 25 Amp Battery Charger

    Can this inverter/charger be programmed without any peripheral equipment? Can all programming be done with dip switches or an android smart phone? Can operation be monitored with a smart phone? Is there any conduit boxes available for these like Midnite Solar has for the DIY series? Lots of...
  • Any AIO's work with non inverter type generator?

    Sorry if covered many times before, but I did not find a definitive answer in a search. Is there any AIO's that work flawlessly with non inverter type generators? My old Trace Inverter/ Charger will take any generator I throw at it, I have used up to 4 different generators (3-non inverter, 1-...

  • AIO code compliant installations?

    Was curious how the installers of AIO systems keep their systems code compliant? Are they being inspected? Are you meeting your home owners insurance requirements? It seems not many of the off shore brands are UL listed with conduit boxes available to help with compliance.
