{"product_id":"qbp976899","title":"Victron Energy Multi RS Solar Inverter\/Charger, 48V, 6kVA, 450V MPPT","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Victron Energy Multi RS Solar 48\/6000 is a 48V hybrid inverter\/charger with integrated high-voltage MPPT solar charging for 230V AC systems. It combines inverter output, AC battery charging, and solar charging in one unit, which is useful on larger cruising boats, off-grid marine installations, and refits built around a 48V house battery bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe current 48\/6000\/100-450\/100 version uses two independent 450V MPPT trackers with up to 6000W total solar charging, split as 3000W per tracker. The unit supports a 38 to 62V DC input range, 230V AC output, a 50A transfer switch, and a maximum combined charger current of 100A from AC and PV sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a technical power system component for protected installation spaces, not an exposed cockpit or deck-mounted device. The IP21 steel enclosure, MC4 PV inputs, VE.Can communication, Bluetooth, and VictronConnect setup make it a strong fit for boats where solar, shore power, generator input, and battery storage need to work together in one Victron-based system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines a 48V inverter\/charger with MPPT solar charging for 230V AC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-tracker version supports two independent 450V MPPT tracker inputs with up to 6000W total PV charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure sine wave inverter output with 6000VA class rating and peak power support for short surge loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50A transfer switch and pass-through capability for shore power or generator-fed systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerControl and PowerAssist help manage limited AC input from a dock supply or generator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in display, Bluetooth, VictronConnect setup, and VE.Can communication for integration with a GX device such as a Cerbo GX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC-out-1 and AC-out-2 outputs allow critical and non-critical AC loads to be separated in the installation plan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP21 steel enclosure measures 462 x 425 x 127 mm and weighs 12.3 kg, so it belongs in a dry, protected electrical space with airflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Multi RS Solar range is offered in more than one configuration, with the main difference being the MPPT tracker layout and the rating shown in the model code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth configurations are part of the 48\/6000 Multi RS Solar platform for 48V battery systems and 230V AC output. The dual-tracker model separates solar input across two tracker channels, while the single-tracker version is an older model and should be checked carefully when matching an existing installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48\/6000\/100-450\/100: rating 48\/6000\/100-450\/100 with dual-tracker MPPT. This version is practical when PV panels are split across different roof, hardtop, arch, or cabin-top areas with different sun exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48\/6000\/100-450\/80: rating 48\/6000\/100-450\/80 with single-tracker MPPT, older model. This version is mainly relevant for replacement work or system matching where the boat already has the older single-tracker layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn board, this unit should be installed in a dry technical locker, machinery-adjacent electrical space, or protected power cabinet with enough ventilation around the enclosure. It should not be placed where it can be hit by rain, washdowns, bilge moisture, or salt spray. Engine room installation should be reviewed carefully for heat, airflow, vibration, and splash protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PV input uses MC4 connections, the battery connection uses M8 bolts, and the 230V AC wiring uses screw terminals up to 10 mm². A marine electrician should size cables, overcurrent protection, isolation, and earthing for the vessel, battery bank, PV string voltage, and applicable onboard standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Multi RS Solar works with 48V battery banks and can charge from solar through the built-in MPPT, from a compatible AC input, or from an AC PV inverter connected into the wider system. For lithium installations, BMS integration must be planned correctly, especially when using a GX device and BMS-Can batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunication options include VE.Can, VE.Direct, Bluetooth, and VictronConnect. For a boat already using Victron monitoring, adding a GX device brings the inverter\/charger, solar charging, battery data, and remote monitoring into the same ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unit makes sense for vessels with a 48V house bank, meaningful AC loads, and enough solar area to justify high-voltage PV input. Typical applications include cruising sailboats, passagemaking powerboats, liveaboard systems, and off-grid dockside setups where solar charging and shore or generator input need to share the same energy system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor smaller boats with only light DC loads, this may be more system than the installation needs. For larger boats moving toward a 48V architecture, it can simplify the power layout by combining several major charging and inverter functions into one coordinated device.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"48\/6000\/100-450\/100 \/ Dual Tracker","offer_id":52715837817013,"sku":"QBP976899-V1","price":2147.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\/6000\/100-450\/80 \/ Single Tracker","offer_id":52715837849781,"sku":"QBP976899-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1341075_qbp976899.webp?v=1781720294","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp976899","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
