Charlie asked

Multiplus-II 3000/120v 48v in parallel OR one Quattro 5000/120v 48 ?

Two (2) Multiplus-II 3000/120v 48v $1,149.00 x 2 = $2,298.00

One (1) Quattro 5000/120v 48v = $2,269.00

Other than "idle consumption", which is less with two multiplus-ii on parallel, what are the advantages of one over the other?

@Charlie The only fair comparison is the cost. The Quattro is basically a Multiplus with auto change over built in so the quattro has more functionality, especially if you are off grid, fitting it to a 5th wheel or in a area with the change of prolonged power cuts. Having 2 Multiplus's gives you greater inverter capacity of a combined 6kVa but you have all the complication of linking the 2 units together, both controls and wiring.

I have a 5kVa Multiplus II GX, of which I love the simplicity of the instillation but I am a bit gutted I do not have all the options of a separate GX device. I wouldn't want the complexity of 2 Multiplus units in my house and all the controls wiring and a separate GX device in my house. Just thought I would add another dynamic to the question.
