Victron EasySolar

Is this line not available in the US? Seems like there would be a lot of interest. Has the appeal of the brand reputation for quality and the simplicity of an AIO. Anyone run across one?

Australia here, Im going to buy one for my Off Grid System, was going to buy the MPP one but the Victron has a 5 year warranty + if I have a problem with it there is a service center in my city rather than return the MPP to Taiwan?

Victron EasySolar 4000W 48V Inverter/Charger

The only spec sheets I can locate for this line show power output of 230V @ 50Hz, which is of course not for the US market. Too bad - I'm sure they'd sell well.

I had a look on the Victron site and it looks like you can pick your voltage and frequency in the setup.

If you scroll down on their page below there is a picture of the settings.

Sorry dont know what happened with the double pics. Cant find a way of deleting them.

That is a tantalizing set of options, but I think that I've confirmed that the EasySolar line does not come in a 110@60 version for the US market via an email from a Victron rep.

Correct, the EasySolar has not been developed for the US market. Technically you could get around the 230vAC input by using an autotransformer, but it's a bit of an unnecessary setup; the EasySolar is basically just a MultiPlus (or Quattro depending on your inverted power needs), an MPPT, and a CCGX in a single case. Victron floated the idea of developing a 120vAC version for here in the US several years ago but they eventually established that most US customers were happier buying the individual components that they needed rather than an all-in-one system... though given the popularity of other all-in-one systems, I'm not sure if they made the right call or not

In the US, there are two things that should not have "Easy" in their names.... Solar gear and your wife.

I half agree. Which half can be a mystery....

Supposedly there is a transformer that you can use that transforms it too the US standard of split phase 120/240 volts.

It is mentioned in the following video:

True; you can feed it 240 and use an autotransformer on the output side to get split-phase 120, but the autotransformer runs from $500-900 depending on model, so after you add that cost into a system, it's far cheaper to just get the individual components that are made for the US market.
