Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

The 48/3000 can be had for under $600 at nkon.nl

Jesus if those were the 120V version I'd import in a heartbeat. Also saw where Europe had a buy two get one free promo on their 3 and 5kVA units a little while back.

Btw the US has 240V. It's just split in half in 2 x 120V lines. Probably would work if you hit it with 2 phases.

So after way too much time faffing about decided to go with a Lynx Power In from Pike. Will use breakers for load protection.

Or just buy some m8 bolts, washers and nut and add mega fuses to the power in.

I picked mine up two weeks ago, it’s a solid beastly item with a lot of gravity.

Me too! Going to grab the bolts and washers I need today.

Fired up my 150/35 for first time. Being able to tell it to use the user defined profile I had created for my IP22 12/30 charger and having it automatically double the values as I'm going from 12V to 24V...it's the little things

Btw. use stainless steel (304) so there is no rust on bolts, washers and lockshims (these in copper if available) after a year ^^.

This constant and over-the-top schilling for a single company's overpriced products has become both annoying and even disturbing. Why would anyone trust advice from any source that only recommends products from a single company?. It makes one appear to be a dishonest crook. However good the quality may be of Victron products, I will now go out of my way to avoid victron products.

Perhaps a little light therapy might be warranted? Like I said, it's starting to get weird and a little creepy.

I started drinking at a party, the next thing I knew I woke up to a power-in delivered overnight to my house and $150.00 charge on my credit card.

Nuts, bolts and washers installed in power-in. Fuses are just resting in place.....I know that's not how they go.

I was relegated to 5/16 hardware as that's all the local Homeless Desperate had.....

Running a 12/24V system? I'm having trouble finding smaller 58V mega fuses (60A etc).

@AstroBob i hope I don’t cause you to have an aneurysm
But just to demonstrate, I snapped this pic a few min ago…Most everyone in here is not a blind fan boy. We all must evaluate pros/cons as well as cost analysis.

Some products are just a no brainer to run blue. Some products are only available in yellow. Other products still fit the bill perfectly fine.

And yes, this is how new solar products are conceived
