[RE-wrenches] Magnum energy

[Jason Szumlanski]

Love the MS series inverters, but the last one I did is about 18 months
old. Rock solid for off-grid use. Get it mounted on a Midnite E-Panel to
simplify the install.

One note - the vent and fan holes are a little large, so make sure you
have adequate critter prevention.

Hello all,

I posted a week ago about the awful off-grid install at a local hunting
shack and we are now moving on to the re-build portion of the job.  I've
been looking at the Magnum Energy MS series inverter/charger. I'd like
to also use Magnum mini panel for the geny, DC loads, and AC loads.  

This is a fairly small system with a about 150w of lighting, maybe a
vacuum and a toaster.  They also have a water pump.  I'd like any
advice/previous experience with this brand and type of install.  It
seems like a nice little system, much better than the RV inverter with
no OCP insight.  Does this seem like overkill? I'm sure they would love
to be able to power more AC loads if they could, so I don't think they
mind a little larger system(inverter watts)

Footnote, I used the Solmetric PV analyzer on the mis-matched module
array today 2-unisolar modules and 2 mitsubishi modules, all in
parallel.  We ended up with around 318W 16V and 20A at about 960 watts
per meter square.

Thanks as always,
