Looking for advise for offgrid 48 volt DC battery based systems.

Outback Radian is in short supply and not to responsive at the present time. So they are out. The company was sold?  and most of thier equipment is out of stock.

So the question is what inverter would you recommend.

Midnite Rosie
Victron Multiplus 2

Is the XW-Pro still viable even though it is being discontinued with sales for it ending in July?
Any others that should be considered?

Thanks
SumPower

    If I needed a new and larger inverter I would jump all over a Midnight Solar Rosie. I've been partial to midnight solar products since they first hit the market and I'm still running a Trace SW 4024 inverter that will probably outlive me because it's got the same DNA as the Midnight solar, actually it's midnight solar's grandfather I guess you'd call it

    2.1 Kw Suntech 175 mono, Classic 200, Trace SW 4024 ( 15 years old  but brand new out of sealed factory box Jan. 2015), Bogart Tri-metric,  460 Ah. 24 volt LiFePo4 battery bank. Plenty of Baja Sea of Cortez sunshine.

    With the XW-Pro on sale I was half way looking at it for the new place, I know it is dependable. But being discontinued. I think due to junk sale inverters taking market share. (Hecho in China).
    Kind of hard right now to not have some China content.

    The Rosie does tick all the boxes, low idle draw being an important parameter.
    I like the light weight, good for a true DIY install.

    Still pondering this as it is a late fall schedule for an install.
