I just completed the install of my whole house Inverter (RUiXU RX-12K) with 28kWh of battery (will be 42kWh tomorrow). The RUiXU RX-12K has been a bit of a pain but it is working. As there is not a lot of reviews out there about it, I will post a more detailed review once I have a bit more experience with it and can give it a fair review rather than an emotional one.

The install involved a complete rewire of my panels to separate critical loads. This took WAY longer than I thought it would. I estimated 6 hours. Took 2 days. The wife was NOT happy (never over promise and under deliver...), but I managed to get enough power up to survive the first night, and was able to run the critical load panel off battery the second night, while I completed the Main/Grid Panel.

The first 2 days numbers are in.
Day 1 - $0.15
Day 2 - $0.23

I'm on a free nights plan so all the batteries need to do is assist my solar from 9am - 9pm. The 2nd day was purely on battery from 11am-9pm. With all usage normal with the HVAC running and a load of laundry with dryer it took the battery down to 25% by 9pm. I'm hoping this will be enough to cover us during the summer months once I add my 3rd battery bank.

Overall very happy with the results but still have a bit to do to get it working the way I want.

Congrats on getting it up and running. First I have heard of the RUiXU.
It was far from simple but Off Grid Source was great getting me connected to RUiXU (Saj) support and I'm chatting with them directly. Still need to work to get it working the way I want, but it is working.
