Xantrex PH1800-BBX Backup Power Inverter

For a huge house, this is impractical, but for small room setups or mobile setups to use for camping site, these seem to be great. The battery box is very well designed & with conjunction of the inverter combo with a 2nd box, this could certainly keep things powered up with up to 400 amp hours of batteries that can fit in the boxes. I still think Xantrex should have bigger battery & inverter combos available in this market. 1800 watts and 400 amp hours of storage is just barely enough to run a full RV with electrical conscious people. Typical even single adult would need much more... I feel like many are moving to get off the grid, and bigger combo packs should be made available on the market for these folks who don't wanna do a full grid-tie system costing them 4 to 5 times as much... where having 2500 watts or 5000 with 500-1000 amp hour backup could really drive a different up & coming market.

This is a really good starter home system that is easy to put together so I first purchased the main power hub and then upon seeing the product knew that this is excatley what would be needed to start building my own custom solar system. it was good deal and came with good instructions. I learned alot just from reading the booklets and 100 percent satisified with the product. You install this very easy just read the instruction booklets.Have some basic tools and you should be able to complete it in about two weeks. I hooked up a wind generator.solar panels ,hard wired into uility and have installed a sub panel. All dc/ac have seperate disconnects.Very happy with the product

The box arrived with the two rear side panel seams broken/separated from the back panel. Had to renforce with 3 sheet metal screws on each side. Would have spot welded if I had access to a welder. Also this is a design improvement sugestion. You should add a Wheel Option to this and the main unit because once this thing is load with batteries it is super heavy and imovable. I added 3" wheels to my unit making it a breeze to move around without removing the 4 batteries.

excellent productvery nice, neat, tidy and safeorderly and methodical - for the solar officianado this is a must for housing the batteries - you can even leave them out in an office room without looking awful.very high-end

I had bought the 1800 Watt Generator and i just received the next half of the Xantrex so i have the complete solor generator and so far it has worked as i thought it would.

Everything I expected. Unusual fusing setup. 10 - 20 amp fuses, one on each of 10 bundled wires that make up the individual battery cables.

Battery box works great 1/3 of the Northern tool cost. Shipped quick. I have had no issues with the product.
