Tech Support appears to be none now that Magnum was bought out. If I was doing a system today, I would go with Victron products but don't care for their solar chargers as much.



I know what you mean regardin gthe support. It has probably been a couple of months since I needed Magnum support but their tech support center was still located local to me. However I new all to well that consolidating in MN was the plan.



If we purchase another fiver I will also more than likely go Victron if for no other reason than the BMS can communicate natively with the invertor. My BMS is CANBUS and the Magnum hybrid is strictly RS-232. I use a mounted surface pro to control my Midnite Solar Classic and BMS while the ARC is used for the invertor and AGS.
