Victron All in One

[Borrego]

Victron has introduced an all in one unit in its European markets, it is 220V so it's not ready for prime time in North America. It is called "Easy Solar" It combines a
MPPT solar charge controller, an inverter/charger and AC distribution in one enclosure. I wrote to Victron and asked when the 120V version would be ready and they responded with 2024. I think it could make a good fit for my motorhome. I wrote back and asked if I could Beta the unit and I never heard back, it was worth a shot!

"Prime Time" is the 230v market as it accounts for just about the entire planet. 120v/240v here in the US is just an afterthought for them.

Here's my favorite post about Victron's all in one:

It's just a blue box full of discreet components, even a full MPPT!

Because of parasitic draw, I would not want an all in one installed in an RV. There’s times when the weather is bad and I don’t want to turn the generator on, so I will shut my inverter off to save a few hundred watt hours on those days when its cloudy several days in a row.

If there were a feature to shut the AIO inverter off to save the watt hours when not needed, in compact areas like an RV setting, the factory will always be able to drop components together better than me for those installations that have so little space. That would be great for an RV installation.

Maybe.



I read the original was put together for the African market several years ago. I would expect it to evolve over time.

I agree that since they are European based we are a secondary market for them. Thats why I wrote " Prime Time in North America."

The standby for the Victron AIO unit is the same as their Multiplus units 8-14w, very reasonable.

Size and ease of installation is great for and AIO especially in a RV application, but I do agree you lose some control going AIO.

8-14 watts is workable.
