Hi mate, the inverter is a high-frequency Xijia/CNSwipower 48v model. It's a good quality Chinese one with built in soft start, probably overkill but it does run my 2.5hp belt-driven air compressor. I've added an extra fan to the rear (with a small buck converter) to run a quiet fan 24/7 to help keep the unit cool & quiet in summer.

I have a mixture of Victron 100/20s and 150/35s and a few different 1-1.5kw matched panel kits which I've picked up 2nd hand from people upgrading their grid-tied systems. Each panel group to it's own controller.

I just need to get my batteries up to speed now, hoping to build a 15kwh lifepo4 bank within the next 12-18months.
