New Off Grid Inverter Charger

[Robin]

The 12V and 24V inverters will be just plain old inverters like everyone else.
The large one is quite different.

We may do a 24 and 48V 4000W off-grid unit too. Those last two should also have grid tie capability.

Robin, put me on the list for a 24 V model!! 
I'll be waiting, patiently......

Thanks,
EJ

EJ, is this for running an off-grid home? If it is, I can gaurantee you will want the 48V B17. Don't worry we will get you guys such a sweet deal you will want the real deal. The B17 is awsome. That is actually an understatement and I normally don't say things like this. Of course there is a little issue of making it actually do what we envision. That will be a chore for sure. We should have all 20 different boards here in two to three weeks. Then the hard work begins.

I would love a 24 volt inverter, but I think the $$$$$$$$$$$$$'s may scare me off for a while!
Postage is also a killer to australia.
A 4kw latronics @ 24 volts is $3,700 and right at my doorstep. And from the 2nd hand ones I have been using they are really reliable
and built like an analog tank.
I can dream though!

Robin , put me down for 48 V  off grid

Every organization should have a flagship product. With a namesake like "The Flying Fortress" it conjures  a vision of a bullet proof  device.

I suppose "Off Grid" units require less certification than the ones used with  grid, so quicker to market?


Can't wait to see this project come to fruition.

Hello,
I have not looked at this discussion for a while but it looks like we are finally close. Do I understand correctly that 12 volt inverters will be available, but not for off grid? I was hoping for a replacement for the Outback VFX 2812 which Outback has discontinued for the VFXR 2812A which requires the mate 3 which in turn has a lot of problems. I don't need anything fancy, just a reliable 12 volt off grid inverter. I do a lot of 12 volt systems off grid.
Anyway, how soon for pictures, pricing, specs, etc.
Dan


2 VFX 2812s, 1 MX 80, 1 MX 60, 4 C-40, 1 tri metric, many US 64s , 8 evergreen 110s, and 8 Kyocera KDX 145s

Vonbek,

I think what Robin said is that the 12 volt and 24 volt inverters will be "plain old inverters"  so I assume not grid tie........I really don't think 12 volt is grid tie territory.......so I'd bet 12 volt units will be an RV special to compete with Magna-Sine MS2812 and maybe an off grid unit similar.....I think that is where the volume is. Robin did mention that Magna -Sine is selling an awful lot of MS2812's.
I see a lot of them.

Any ideas what the kw rating/output would be on the 24 volt units?

Hmmm...time for another peak inside the B17?

Your having waaaaaaaay to much fun here!!! I can make out somthing here though

Your brave posting pictures , I have a few but I wouldn't post any till Robin said it was ok.


WestBank / EJ , so If ya want , the 48V unit times 2 &  lets use my WA 98292 pad to pick them up on a trailer (less packing & hassle for all.)
I have picked up some Garage sale items that way & kept it as quick & clean as Possible , Plus you'll get to meet some real nice folks .

This one is an early prototype of what was a proposed Variable DC input selection mechanism. It was discarded in favor of fixed DC input voltages to keep the cost within a reasonable limit. Strictly a rumor that Midnite will not confirm or deny. Most likely pure stale inorganic PlasmaboBoyism.

Robin,
I said I was going to get more than one because of the farm.  I have three locations that need remote big power.  Of course, if I can figure a way to share the power better, I'm in. 

Further, will it come with a charge controller?  My current plans are two kids for charging per location and then the inverter for power.  One location will have lower power requirements.  In the end, I would like to have two wind turbines, two solar fields for the main location, and smaller solar setups for the more remote power needs.  I also have hydro available to run a generator, but I am unsure of its capability due to the drought and then extremely wet periods.

Don't know if this helped, its just my plans and any help in correcting the design now is greatly appreciated.
