I’m planning on a full Victron setup, other than the batteries which will likely be EG4 or SOC. They are a known quantity and quality, not constantly creating new versions which makes it hard to keep up with. They just bloody work. I want to build my system and barring a catastrophe, it will just work. 110/220, Low Freq inverter for heavy load startup etc.

Dollar for dollar and the features they come with I found Aims inverters hard to beat. Been using them close to ten years now. Only place I might not want one is on a boat because of the weight.

I have two Growatt 3kw inverters. They are set up to supply 240v and 6kw nominal. They were a good price when I bought them about 2 years ago. I think I paid about $1400 for the pair. The downside of the Growatt at the time I purchased them, is you need two of them to provide 240v. I need 240v for water well circuit (I also purchased a Growatt Well Pump Controller for soft-start of the motor). Each supply one 120v leg and are phase sync’d. Growatt now has a single unit that can provide 240v. They have been reliable and were reasonably easy to setup.

I bought the original version of the MPS3K over 1.5 years ago. 4.5 Kw of storage and with the 1.2 Kw of panels I bought with it I have no problem running my air conditioner in my rv. When at home I plug it into an ac outlet and let it sit between my 21.3 cf freezer and said outlet. If we lose power I can easily keep the freezer running for 5 days without power, or plug in the solar panels and I can basically add other appliances and still keep it fully charged.

I have been very happy with the company, the shipping etc. But it is a heavy unit and not for a weakling to try to haul around.

I bought a 6K Genetry. Chinese built but American design. Just a couple of guys working out of their basement. Low frequency 120/240 with lots of bells and whistles. Spec’d to do 6K continuously and I dunno what the surge is; prolly 9 or 10 for a moment.
You might look into them for future builds.

Mine would have to be Growatt. I have one in my RV and the 3000watt version just works. I was going to use an MPP LV5048 but was almost 3x the weight. With RV’s the weight is everything. It does support the Pioneer 12,000BTU A/C that I have in it.

Is that a 120, or 240 volt version of mini split? Curious, as I am tempted to move to 240v to run my 9000 btu mini split which is 240 v

[Radiojoe]

Depending on the application, I would much rather the 240v version as it is more cost effective to run

[gods-child]

i only have used well still in use one [1] inverter thus have no experience with others to compare with at this time

the one [1] i have is a cheap chinese canitu yet does the job i need at this time for running medical equipment with a 60ah car battery coupled with a cheap chinese claimed mppt charge controller [doubtful it is mppt] and a 50w solar panel

i know not ideal yet budget is very very tight these days yet cost less than £100 gbp all in

it is rated 12v ~ 240v 6000w

four [4] usb ports

two [2] 240v sockets

one [1] cigarette-lighter/utility socket

link to canitu uk ebay listing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304678762637

yes i also believe the 6000w rating in non correct
