Yep, I missed it.
This is also true for the ones sold on Amazon.
That's for this thread like you asked...but he's the same way with others throughout this forum when people disagree with him. I'm new to this forum and I realized this before even posting my first post about this particular person. We can act like adults and converse as such ..even when people disagree with us or fail to get our points across.
Thanks Tim...good to know. So, it is indeed a specific model for them.
Yes
Anything is selectable if you make it selectable. That's what i did. But it's simpler to buy the 'correct' version if it's available and you're not confident modifying a brand new ~$1k pile of circuit boards. Or two, in my case.

Something is going on with them, they can't get any stock for a long time now.
I was told two rumors by two different vendors of Magnum products. One they were in the middle of moving off shore. Two they were moving to Mexico. But regardless answer a phone or return an email. Don’t just let your customer base hanging.
Just trying to be helpful to others and hopefully they move in the right direction. I see so many mistakes made, many misconceptions, I have to wonder how many unsafe systems are out there.
I bought 2 pallets of used 250w panels from Signature Solar for .20 watt, 7 months ago. they are working great
No such thing. An isolation transformer just isolates your neutral from your neighbors, and along with that the ground.
An isolation transformer "isolates" the newly formed system from the original system that powers it.
A transformer without any load on the secondary is basically an inductor and as such will block AC current. It's not quite as simple as that in reality though.
There are core losses. 99% of the energy is reactive, so it is only stored and circulated, not used. A portion of the current is resistive and that is due to the "work" that needs to be done to polarize the magnetic core at 60 cycles per second. That uses real power, but not much unless it's a very large transformer. There is also a small amount of power loss in the copper (or aluminum) primary coils, but again, not much.
In a word.. Price…
And another word, application. Most of my loads are easy to balance so I don't need to spend money on a transformer. If I had a big device with a motor load , I would rather rewire it to run on 240 volts ratherbthan buy a transformer.
So all your loads are 240 or are you running split phase inverters with no imbalance??
No, but with LEDs my biggest 120 volt loads are easy to balance. The coffee maker and micro are the biggest loads and rarely exceed 2,000 Watts. My source of heat is 240 volts and that is my biggest load at 1500-2500 kWs. I pumped up some bike tires with a compressor but that may be on the grid side and not through my Inverter.
