Also installed are Victron’s battery monitor, an automatic battery water filling system to monitor and retain the batteries health respectively.

“ One of our main backup system requirements was a system that would give us automatic power change over between the power sources without cutting power to our appliances. Since the day we installed this system we have experienced continuous power at our home, we don’t even notice the transition between the two sources of power. We enjoy continuous noise free power and maintain natures peaceful environment ”
