I've seen lots of people use Victron in the US on homes. Some of their products are not UL 1741 though.Same question as the title: anyone know why Victron is not pursuing the US residential market?
Built a system for camper/RV, wondering why they don’t seem to want to get in the residential game here where I live.
actually rules here, and the eu in general are very very strickt, however, once approval.has been given its valid over whole of world, except the us.
us requires complete recertification, which is extremely expensive, especially for non us companies.
almost as if there is us market protection going on
I think the support for UL 1741 is a biggie though, as ncsolarelectric mentioned; I'd bet that many installers want a product that is approved to backfeed the grid, so many installers probably go more for a company like Sol-Ark. So more DIY'ers and less popular for the regulatory reasons... look on YouTube for "Victron" and you'll see a LOT of installs!
Maybe once you join the rest of the world using 240v 50Hz single phase ?
User friendly and really pretty.. lol. They are like the Apple of the solar world.I have a dual 120v inverter system running in 240v mode along with the auto transformer and it works well. My system will eventually make it into an RV but it’s been a good training platform for me. I do wish they would offer more for residential installs in the US, their stuff seems fairly user friendly to me.
Trust your gut. Do a google image search for solar inverters or solar mppt controllers and tell me how many others are as pretty as the Victron.I don’t have experience yet with any other brand to make a comparison at this point in time.
