Use them to plan your install, troubleshoot on the day, or get your Victron app set up properly. You're not buying a box of parts and getting left to figure it out yourself. What's in the Kit Inverter 1x Victron MultiPlus-II 48/8000/110-100 230V The heart of the system. 8000VA of continuous power with a built-in charger — so if you've got a generator as backup, it handles the switching automatically. Victron is the gold standard in off-grid. There's a reason everyone uses it. Monitoring 1x Cerbo GX MK2 1x GX Touch 70 Display 2x VE.Direct Cable 0.9m 1x 2m UTP CAT5 Cable 1x Victron SmartShunt 500A Keep an eye on your system from your phone, tablet, or the wall-mounted display. The Cerbo GX connects to Victron's free VRM portal so you can monitor from anywhere — great if the property isn't your primary residence. Solar Charger 1x SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/100-Tr 1x 8 Pole DC Distribution Enclosure 2x Noark 32A 4 Pole DC Circuit Breaker (one per solar string) 1x Noark MCCB 125A 500VDC 2 Pole (MPPT output) The SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/100-Tr features 2 independent solar trackers, each capable of handling up to 4000W of solar input — giving you a total solar capacity of up to 8000W from a single controller. This means you can run two separate string configurations (different orientations, different roof faces) without needing a second MPPT unit. Each solar string gets its own Noark 4 pole DC breaker, rated for high-voltage solar strings, so every string can be isolated safely. Solar panels are sold separately — check out our range of solar panels here and get in touch if you need help sizing your array for this kit. Battery Protection 1x Noark MCCB 200A 500VDC 2 Pole AC Distribution 1x 8 Pole AC Distribution Board 1x Hager 32A RCBO 2 Pole 30mA 1x Hager 16A RCBO 2 Pole 30mA Batteries 3x MPS / Mictronix 48V 5.1kWh Lithium Battery Module (15.3kWh total) 2x MPS Battery Quick Connect Links 1x MPS Battery Quick Connect Leads 125A, 2m The premium option. MPS / Mictronix modules are lithium iron phosphate batteries that clip together with quick-connect links — no messy battery cabling, and a SmartShunt gives you accurate state-of-charge on the Victron display and app. 15.3kWh gets a small home comfortably through the night without solar input, with room to grow. The best part? The battery bank is fully scalable. As your energy needs grow, you can add more batteries at any time — no need to replace the inverter or rewire the system.
