I’m seeing a thread on the MS forum sayings Lil Rosie only just started shipping in the last few weeks. Also, two lil Rosies take up a bit more space than a single Rosie and space is an issue for us motorhome folks, hence the dual Quattro problem, although 2 Lil Rosies are way smaller than a single Quattro. Also wondering if there would be a neutral overload issue using two 120v inverters instead of a single split phase. They would have to connect to L1 & L2 in the RV.
I am really starting to wonder why there are no actual reviews on the Rosie I can find? I have been searching for days now. Makes me wonder if anyone is really using one in a “production” environment. And its been out for about 2 years now.
Seems if they’re in phase you would be limited to 6kW (50A) total, no?
MP and solar between the rails in the basement of our little pusher, snug.
Nice Pics! Very Nice! I like how you mounted those solar controllers. I may need to look into that for my inverter bay as I currently have three in there and they look to take up a lot more wall space than your 4 do. I also like how your Inverter(s) are mounted. Are those brackets sold somewhere or did you make those? Also, I was told in a Victron training meeting a couple years back that those inverters must be mounted vertically due to convection based cooling.
Thanks. Just a single inverter. The solar mounts are bent sheet steel, the frame is angle & strip welded to fit the frame rails, the 4 frame rail mounts are just beam clamps, all home brew.
The manual was pretty ambiguous about mounting. I asked in the pro forum to clarify mounting positions, the only solid feedback was not to put them face down like I had planned, or the transformer might fall off. I couldn’t see how that could ever happen, but this way worked out much better for access and the fasteners are all in shear. The 2x120 MP is fan cooled, vertically would certainly do better for convection. There is space in the frame for additional fans if needed. I haven’t had any heat warning yet, we often drive with the rear roof AC going to keep the cat cool, or doing laundry. Those are the two long duration draws.
