Victron Energy are a European company based in the Netherlands with over fifty years in the energy business.
Founded in 1973, they started with providing inverters and chargers for the marine industry. This quickly expanded to the land based and automotive market. Therefore they have an unrivalled length of experience with battery storage systems.
Their inverters are known as low frequency and are unparalleled in terms of quality, warranty and back up service.
Victron’s VRM(Victron Remote Management) platform is available on PC, Mac, Android and iOS and offers a wide variety of remote management, monitoring, customisation and optimisation options. It is the link between the physical Victron installation and the internet.
We carry the entire range of Victron Energy’s inverters and MPPT solar controllers.
Low frequency vs high frequency inverters -quality, quality & quality
The vast majority of inverters are of the high frequency type. We stay away from these completely.
Victron inverters are of the low frequency type and have the advantage over high frequency inverters in two very important fields:
Peak power capacity & reliability. Low frequency inverters are designed to deal with higher power spikes for longer periods of time than high-frequency inverters.
Low frequency inverters can operate at the peak power level which is up to 300% of their nominal power level for several seconds, while high frequency inverters can operate at 200% power level for a small fraction of a second.
The second main difference is reliability: low frequency inverters operate using powerful transformers, which are more reliable and sturdy than the high frequency inverters that utilise MOSFETs. MOSFETs use electronic switching and are much more prone to damage and specifically at high power levels.
In addition to these qualities, low frequency inverters come with a cast range of technical features and capabilities that most high frequency inverters lack.
