Can anyone give me some feedback or recommendations on the Magnum Inverters? Looking at the MS-AE4024. Also, is there a site anywhere to post PV equipment for sale? We are considering selling our Trace 4024 inverter and purchasing the new Magnum.

    eBay is the best place to sell equipment by far

    I installed a Magnum MS4448AE at my off grid Cabin in Colorado one year ago. I used a pre-wired Midnite Solar E-Panel as recommended in a previous post. Both the inverter and panel were very easy to install and setup. The inverter has been flawless. My cabin is part time vacation use. I do run power tools from the inverter with no problems.

    I bought my first Magnum in January and it has been "on" continuously since then (not using 'sleep' mode because our fridge requires constant power).

    No problems whatsoever, but when I initially purchased it there was an issue and Magnum really stepped up to the plate:

    That support was so good I'd buy Magnum again (unless this one goes belly up shortly after the warranty expires).

    I replaced a very old Heart Interface and never had problems with that one, so I never had to contact Heart tech support. Same with the Xantrex we've had for a decade (it's still in service for our water pump only, the Heart is in the garage waiting for a friend to pick up for his houseboat).
