Thanks Everyone. I already can get a Radian or XW that out of the box
works 48V and 7 or 8 KW . I was asking for a friend. Appreciate the advice
and did not want him to get into making a mistake.

asked "if Victron is UL listed for a Grid application...?" I agree with
Roberto Kruse that there's one Victron inverter/charger with a UL listing
nowadays: the 24v MultiPlus rated 3KVA per unit. Some of the Victron charge
controllers are also UL listed. However, "selling into the grid" is not
supported by Victron in the US for now. To verify that, today I clicked the
"Grid" tab in Victron's "VE Configure 3" software (which updates every time
it is launched). A dozen or more "country codes" (aka grid code standards)
can be selected in a drop-down but the US is not among those as of
2-6-2021. Dave had also asked, "can it easily work split phased?" To
configure for 120/240 US power in the Victron platform, first one must buy
Victron's USB converter dongle, pairs of identical inverter/chargers (from
among the "120 volt" models), and some standard Cat5 cables. The firmware
should be updated if the units are not already identical, then another
piece of (free downloadable) Windows software is used to set up the
phasing. I've never had a train wreck with the Victron software so far.
