Victron makes inverter and charger equipment, and both items in this brand collection are restocking and not in stock today. They were priced from $1,039 to $1,397. Rather than waiting, buyers planning a battery-based system can compare similar inverters from Sol-Ark, EG4 and Sungold Power in our other collections. The main thing to confirm for any alternative is battery voltage, with 48V common for larger systems. Check back for availability, or contact us and we will help you find a suitable match for your loads.

Victron Solar Kit Planning: Building a System Around MultiPlus and EasySolar

A Victron solar kit is rarely sold as a single box. Victron's approach is modular: you pick an inverter/charger, add a solar charge controller if the inverter does not include one, choose a GX monitoring device, and wire it to the battery bank you already own or buy separately. That is why people who run boats, RVs and off-grid cabins keep coming back to the brand; a Victron system can start small and grow into split-phase or three-phase later without replacing the core.

This collection lists the 2 Victron units we carry: the 12V MultiPlus-II 2x120V inverter charger at $1,039 and the 48V EasySolar-II 3000W inverter/charger with Color Control GX at $1,397. Both are sold out right now. The rest of this page explains how each fits into a complete Victron energy system so you can plan the battery and panels while you wait.

Victron EasySolar-II 3000W 48V all-in-one inverter charger with MPPT and Color Control GX for a Victron solar system

How to choose the core of a Victron system

  • Mobile or stationary. The Victron 3000VA MultiPlus-II 2X Inverter Charger, 12-Volt is the mobile choice: 12V, 48lb, and built for 50A 120/240V split-phase RV and marine service, handling shore, generator and inverter output in one unit. The Victron EasySolar-II 3000W 48V is the stationary choice for a cabin or home backup on a 48V bank.
  • Do you want the charge controller built in? The EasySolar-II integrates an MPPT 250/70 solar controller and battery charger with the inverter, with 11,000W of listed solar input. The MultiPlus-II does not list solar input, so you add a separate Victron MPPT sized to your panels.
  • Monitoring. The EasySolar-II includes Color Control GX. For the MultiPlus-II, a GX device is an add-on if you want remote visibility.
  • Output needed. Both units are 3,000W. That covers a boat or RV, or a small cabin, running one large appliance at a time. Bigger loads mean paralleling units, which Victron's modular design allows, or choosing a larger inverter class before you buy the battery bank.
  • Efficiency. The EasySolar-II lists 95% efficiency, which matters when every watt-hour comes from a battery you paid for.

Sizing tips

  • Run the Solar Kit Calculator with your appliance list and ZIP code. It gives you battery kWh and panel watts, which is exactly what you need to buy alongside a Victron inverter since neither unit here includes them.
  • Decide on bank voltage before anything else. The MultiPlus-II here is 12V and the EasySolar-II is 48V; the two are not interchangeable, and every other component follows that choice.
  • Match the solar array to the controller. With the EasySolar-II, stay inside the MPPT 250/70 limits Victron publishes; with the MultiPlus-II, buy a controller rated for your array first, then the panels.
  • Keep a 3,000W 12V inverter within a short cable run of the battery and fuse it as Victron specifies. Voltage drop on long 12V runs shows up as nuisance shutdowns.
  • If you expect to add a second inverter for split-phase or more power later, buy the same model now so the pair can be configured together.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Victron kit include batteries? Not these two units. Both are inverter/chargers, one with a built-in solar controller, and you supply the battery bank. Choose the bank voltage to match the unit, 12V for the MultiPlus-II here and 48V for the EasySolar-II, and size it with the calculator above.

Which unit makes the simpler Victron energy solar kit? The EasySolar-II. Inverter, charger, MPPT and GX monitoring are in one enclosure, so the install is the unit, the battery, the panels and the AC wiring.

Can I start with one Victron unit and expand? Yes, that is the design intent. Start with a single inverter/charger and add units, a GX device or more solar as the budget allows.

Both units ship free to the mainland US from our brand partner warehouses when in stock, usually within a few business days, with 30-day returns. Call us and we will help spec a Victron system around your battery bank.
