Gain Solar Services We’re putting a ME4448PAE teamed with a Midnite Kid in a box with all the appendages connected it to and 8 AGMs to make a mobile Power Cart. It has input for solar up to the 48v-30Amps that the kid can handle.
Gain Solar Services The main purpose is to power our 240VAC well pumps grid-down. With a little power on the side. At 50% the battery bank only has 5kWh.
working on completing my solar system that I purchased 10 years ago minus the inverter. a 3kw solar panels, midnite charge controller, midnite panel box and 24v battery bank (golf cart batteries). I just purchased the conext 4024sw with the system controller for $1800. what do you think of this combination?
Does the Magnum 4448 interface with and communicate over a RS485 connection with a bank of EG4LL 5.2kWH batteries for the Battery Management System … or … do they talk a different language? Seems like certain Inverter and Battery manufacturers have teamed up with each other. I really would like to use the EG4LL LiFePo4 batteries … and also the Magnum (have to check out Midnight and Outback for their comparable inverters)
I know this was your go to inverter, is it still or is it the Sol-ark? Sol-ark 8k is $1700 more and 12k is $2400 more than a pre wired Magnum 4448. Thanks Johnny I love your videos you crack me up.
I’m kinda new to all this stuff. I still don’t know how this unit works. A friend just offered one of these to me but I have no idea what to do with it. I need to power my 30 amp camper trailer with solar. Will this work for that application??
Not without a bunch of other parts. This unit takes power off a battery and makes 120volt AC household current. It will also take power from a 120 volt ac source and charge the battery.
@@GainSolarPower Thanks for the quick reply. So, this may be an overkill for my needs, then? I’ve been thinking about the Ecoflow Delta Pro with the 30 amp plug. Simple for me and I can charge it by plugging it in or with solar panels. What would recommend?
@@SaabAholic what are you trying to power? What devices are in the trailer and how long do you need to run them. That’s a good inverter but you’d still need a battery, breakers/fuses and a charge controller for the solar panels.
@@GainSolarPower I need a 30 amp power source for my 35 foot trailer. So, basically, I’ll want to run the refrigerator/freezer, microwave, heater/AC, lights and water pump. The trailer has 2 batteries that stay charged with shore power. But without the full 30 amp hook up, all I can run is the lights, really.
I'd recommend the Magnum MS2024 or the MS2012. Or possibly a schneider SW 2024. You gonna pay a little more for the charger..Wanna buy one? I'll drop ship it to you best price on the internet!
Gain Solar Services found an adaptor for my Dewalt. Never knew they existed. Does the SolArk have the load center build in? I don’t recall e775 ever mentioning it
4philipp it’s basically and all in one unit but we always include a bypass switch. I’d there is a generator we put a transfer switch on the ac input too.
Great video. I am looking for an inverter and would this Magnum be good for Leaf battery modules 48v? Probably be using about 42+ modules total in a 12s or 14s configuration. Two cells per module. Thanks for your reply, Richard...
Richard, I'm not sure about the leaf battery modules and what voltage or charger setings you would want to use. How are the other folks doing this charging the batteries? You are welcome to email me at jwv8783@gmail.com
greatogbuagu yes, I was told today the Magnum control panel has lithium ion charging parameters. The panel tells the charger what to do. Leaf modules make a good 48 volt pack so this should be a good combination. It is the combo I’m putting together for my school bus conversion.
i am always fascinated how much more complicated you are doing electrical and solar installations in america. there are all those separate boxes for disconnects on the wall. i have one box with the fuses and a mains disconnect and an inverter disconnect at the side of the house. (s small box with mains and inverter disconnects in the shed next to the inverter also) as far as technology goes for an island inverter interacting with a grid inverter, have a look at selectronics. it can interact with a fronius or ABB grid feed inverter ramping production up or down. (the grid inverter needs to have the specific software loaded though) a similar solar installation is about half the price here in australia or germany than in the unitied states. because of all the complexities of installation and permits. you are still using polarised breaker for pv strings. her we use non polarised breakers. for obvious reasons: if a string shortens out, all the electricity from the other strings run backwards through the breaker of the faulty string. it then triggers the breaker the current running the wrong way. which probably results in the breaker starting to burn. anyway, always like watching your videos. thanks
the german government is not too keen on solar either. vested interests. but the electricity price is very high in germany. high retail prices here in australia too. so, i just feed in. no drawing from mains power at all. if you have time, look at the german E3DC ( www.e3dc.com/en/ ) they just carry the box into the basement, hook up mains, wire up the electricity meter, hook up pv and insert the batteries. and it is done.plus 10 years warranty on the whole thing, inverter and batteries and all.
Gary Mull Gary, thanks for watching. From the looks of you channel you are a fellow solar man. Happy solaring. Let me know if you need a magnum mini panel load Center. I can drop ship it to you faster than you can say demonetize.
The bad thing about Magnum inverters is they don't sell a Pure sign wave 48 V version that works above 800 watts. Your stuck with having to use a 24 Volt battery bank. 48 Volts is the way to go especially with my solar panels and MUCH lower DC current draw. Until Magnum releases more 48 volt pure sign wave inverters I will look elsewhere.
jimthvac100 do you want a low power 48v inverter? I’ve seen all the ms series and they are all in the same chasis , from 2000w - 4000w. Maybe try the outback vfxr.
@@greatogbuagu1370 Outback has had a lot of quality control issues since they moved production overseas. Magnum have poor customer service and have seen a few fail Schneider electric are fantastic products iv'e never seen any complaints on them But my judgement stands with Schneider a close second magnum third and outback fourth. Just remember these are all still top products
Victron is high frequency, it’s like a high tuned race engine of inverter/chargers. Magnum is low frequency, big beefy iron core with higher surge capacity, it’s the workhorse diesel of inverter/chargers.
"No pain, no gain!" You are a stitch JV! SH, how in the world do y'all get ANY work done with all those voices coming outta JV on the job site? I'd be ROTGLMAO.

The sw4024 is a fine inverter
Hi there! Love your content, Johnny. Learned a lot. We are pleased to tell you we are your latest subs.

No you are asking if it has closed loop communication with the EG4 batteries it does not

Wondering if you can ac grid couple with magnums new charge controller ❓❓ 100 mppt
In which app can I see how this inverter works?
The app they had is pretty behind the times
Hey J. valentine Just Received My MS4024PQE Inverter/Charger With The Same Label. Used it on My Video Title. FYI.
I have a magnum 2012 120vac is it possible to convert it to 220/240vac?
nerd out nerd out gooooooo john!
my fav is she is a heavy girl lol
Do I need that load center if there is no grid?
And how did you plug your phone into that Makita battery?
They sell a makita usb adaptor and you really should use the load center if you can afford it. Makes things so much easier.
Gain Solar Services found an adaptor for my Dewalt. Never knew they existed.
Does the SolArk have the load center build in? I don’t recall e775 ever mentioning it

I want to ask Magnum 4448 and a Schneider 4548 which would you recommend and why?
Desmond Ejidoh two different and good inverters. XW has more features, magnum is cheaper.

Yes but u will need to buy the advance remote control to program it to charge and recognise the leaf battery
greatogbuagu yes, I was told today the Magnum control panel has lithium ion charging parameters. The panel tells the charger what to do. Leaf modules make a good 48 volt pack so this should be a good combination. It is the combo I’m putting together for my school bus conversion.
@@greatogbuagu1370 You need a Me-Rc or ARC Remote to set in Battery Type Custom Settings
Nice video I always following all your videos
Off Grid Living St Lucia thank you. I appreciate it
yes, i got one ms-4448pae , with the mpsl , PT-100 and i ordred the ME-ARTR
Jajajaja i was so confused, this was a love back in February and you said my name (Roy) and i was like wtf?!?! 🤣🤣
Be nice to us DIY’ers
So you’ll. Pre do these. And ship. ❓
Hello there...
Does magna sine have selection 60hz and 50hz...
👍
Magnum has a 50hz 230v export version. Is that what you are looking for? Where are you located?
Yes, but the are not the same system. I live in Nigeria but bought the 50hz Ms4348pae the Ms4448 is 60hz

Urs Odermatt we would love to see some of the systems in Germany. Here in the us solar is basically suppressed technology from all fronts.
the german government is not too keen on solar either. vested interests. but the electricity price is very high in germany. high retail prices here in australia too. so, i just feed in. no drawing from mains power at all.
if you have time, look at the german E3DC ( www.e3dc.com/en/ )
they just carry the box into the basement, hook up mains, wire up the electricity meter, hook up pv and insert the batteries. and it is done.plus 10 years warranty on the whole thing, inverter and batteries and all.
What is the minimum battery amp hour requirement for the 4024?
I'd recommend a minimum of 200 ah.
Seems to be a really good unit. To bad they dont seem to sell them in Europe.
If it’s good enough for Jonny’s garage..........
I run my home and shop all with my magnum inverter

Victron makes the best Inverters but they're more pricey
Awesomus Maximus they are not common or popular in the US. Must be more of a European product
Victron doesn't even hold 3rd position. The best is outback followed by Magnum inverter then Schneider inverter
