Victron EnergyQuattro 5000VA 48-Volt Pure Sine Wave Inverter and 70 amp Battery Charger

This Victron Quattro is the main power distribution source in my coach RV. It is very easy to use and very intuitive and connects seamlessly to all of the other Victron devices in my system. It has two inputs and switches between them unnoticeably. These include being plugged into the grid or utilizing my onboard generator to both charge my battery banks and manage the power flow through my coach. It is set up to automatically start my generator when my batteries are discharged. This takes over power management for the coach while the batteries are recharging. When the Victron Quattro sees that the batteries are charged, it shuts down the generator and returns to inverting. It is a living breathing cycle while I am off grid. Unmatched quality, and worth every penny.

This is the gold standard of off grid inverters, not cheap but worth every penny. They’re built to work with multiple types of power inputs, and can be used with just a generator, just solar, just a grid input, or a combination of all 3. I have two systems with these inverters, one is pure off grid and the other is grid connected. I’ve never had to worry about how much power I’m using from the off grid system with the auto generator start functionality, and I have the grid connected system set up to shift loads for Time of Use billing. Since I’ve installed these inverters I’ve had zero time without power. Whole home battery backup with a way to minimize generator run time.That being said, these are not plug and play. They do require some knowledge of both DC and AC electrical work. Initial programming wasn’t hard for me, but I can see it being a bear for a lot of people. I was offered initial programming by the folks at Inverters-R-Us out of Reno, NV (they sell on here) which would make things easier for everyone who doesn’t want to do odd things with batteries and switch generator fuel types semi regularly.

The media could not be loaded. Inverters R Us has a knowledgeable staff with the information you need . .. as for Victron It's NOT off grid.. as internet is required to make it work,, configure, update,,, that said my system is slightly complex.. ( review update) I've been Off Grid for 2 years now and my V E system has worked almost flawlessly. Runs entire house, garage and large pool pump. But won't run the Plasma Torch or large Welder, as both are hungry for amperage. My backup system has never been turned on and I don't know if it works. LoL.. my V E hasn't failed. I've had other offgriders envy my Blue boxes, stating they wish they had gone with Victron.

This is the second Quatro I've received with it being damaged. This time the box showed no signs of damaged. Possible coming from victron this way? I would hope not.

Best item I ever bought for my boat. I Never have to worry about tripping the shore power breaker again, with the awesome boondocking power assist feature. Solid charger and inverter all in one.

My last install was dual multiplus 3kva's in parallel. This time I went with a single Quattro 48volt 5000/70/120. Wow I really love Victron equipment! The Quattro seems to be a tad quieter with the "thump" when the Power Assist kicks in vs the dual Multiplus units. It also seems to run cooler.

Second solar installation with Victron. Great community, help and feedback. Inverters R US has the best customer service with this as well.

Both boxes are bent.
