This Victron Energy MultiPlus Compact is like a helpful robot for your electricity. It can take power from a battery (12-Volt) and turn it into the kind of power that runs your TV or lights (120 Volt AC). It also can charge an 80 amp battery. It has a smart switch (50 amp transfer switch) that can automatically change between different power sources. It's built in one box, which is handy, but it's a bit heavy and needs to be wired correctly. The fan inside can make some noise, and it can only handle a certain amount of power (2000VA). It only works with 12-Volt systems and doesn't have a built-in charger for solar panels. You might need to set it up in a special way, and while it's certified safe (UL-Certified), that might not be important to everyone. Read more...
