Victron EasySolar 12/1600/70-16 MPPT 100/50 – integrated solar inverter/charger system

Victron Energy EasySolar 12/1600/70-16 MPPT 100/50 is an integrated power system combining a SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 solar charge controller, a MultiPlus Compact 12/1600/70 inverter/charger and AC distribution in one enclosure. It is designed for straightforward installation with a minimum amount of wiring.

EasySolar can charge a 12 V battery system from solar panels and/or from the utility grid or a generator. The inverter provides a pure sine wave 230 V AC output, while PowerControl and PowerAssist help manage limited grid or generator capacity when short-term loads increase.
