Magnum is a no go for me for several reasons. First one is until they have a decent web based system data view/configure I can't help my remote clients as I do with Outback and Schneider.
The second is they did not have a charge controller until 3 or so years ago:( The 8 KW radian and its mppts or an XW+ and the hi voltage mppt just works too well. XW+ can be configured for 6.8 KW @ 120vac if needed. I am going to use alot of skyboxes if they release it in November!
