<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.<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></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. <o:p></o:p></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....<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Great, thank you Kent. I didn't realize the AC and DC terminals needed to be on top, I should have read the manual before asking. I can now see how the access door would be blocked if there were also a charge controller mounted on the door.
I thought the Plus models were wider than the Lite but it appears my assumption was wrong. Seems it could still work if the controller were mounted off on the side of the chassis but for now I'll try to come up with a better plan. Lots of mice around here
so I can see how your point of dropping "things" into the top ventilation slots could really be an issue.

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>
