    <p>The mobile version of the Little Rosie is listed to UL489 and
      UL1741 so it can be used in residential applications as well as
      mobile applications. The neutral bond switching makes particular
      sense for using the Little Rosie with a portable generator, which
      is appropriate for a small inverter.</p>

      <p>Maybe I'm missing something, but I just skimmed through the
        manual, and it appears the Little RosieM is meant for mobile
        applications.  It mentions an RE version for off grid, but I
        can't find that anywhere.  The manual just discusses class T
        fuses, makes no mention of breakers.  It looks like a cool
        inverter with a form factor similar to an old Trace DR, but not
        really seeing the usual matching Midnite BOS components we've
        come to expect.  My guess is they're working on all of that for
        the RE version, which isn't quite ready.</p>
      <p>In the meantime, one of their E panel lites could be used. 
        You'd have some exposed DC cable though, which seems to be the
        "IN" thing these days with many of the latest LiPO4
        batteries.......:)  Apparently, one man's code compliance is
        another man's unnecessary hangup........Also don't wire the
        neutral through the switched neutral relay in the inverter.  </p>
      <p>Personally, I'd just wait for the RE version and the
        accompanying BOS to come out.  Maybe a Victron in the meantime? 
        Used Magnum on Flea Bay?  The pickin's are slim for us poor off
        grid installers these days....</p>

                      Nick,<br>
                      <br>
                      I recently looked into installing a Little Rosie
                      on the door of an <br>
                      E-panel lite and decided against it. Just not
                      enough room to get the <br>
                      battery cables connected. I ended up with the
                      Little Rosie mounted <br>
                      vertically beside an E-panel lite. To tell you the
                      truth I wasn't happy <br>
                      with the vertical installation of the little
                      Rosie. Per the installation <br>
                      manual you are only allowed to mount it vertically
                      in one orientation <br>
                      and that leaves the top of the Little Rosie at
                      risk of dropping things <br>
                      into it through the ventilation slots.<br>
