I’m trying to find a suitable inverter for my DIY solar system. Because I’ve cobbled it together over time, I have three strings of differing panel arrays. I’m using 3 victron mppt controllers, so i’d prefer a stand-alone inverter, not a hybrid or multi-purpose unit. Currently, I’m runing 6 (likely upgrade to 8) 12v lifepo4 batteries in a 24v configuration powering a 3000w pure sinewave inverter. The max output of my panels combined is 2400 watts (maybe a touch more as they are bifacial.) Each array is 70-80v each. I’d really like to stick with Victron if possible.
Hybrid usually refers to an inverter/charger.
You can get pure offgrid ones - just inverters.
And if you don’t need more power you can get 24v 3kVa victrons.
But you base voltage really will determine how you proceed.
Inverter choice would come down to the ac loads you will need to power.
Battery and solar choice comes down to how much energy you need for a regular day.

I’m running 5 circuits for lights and electronics. The only heavy loads are when I run my 1200 watt microwave, air fryer, and indection burner. I have a 3000 watt Chinese inverter from amazon but people in a reddit forum said it was likely the culprit for the power surges tripping my ups when the microwave turns off/finishes. So far, this setup is supplying all the power I need.
