The Midnite solar MNB17 is a game changer in my opinion as it is the first system that I have seen to be built like industrial electrical equipment is built and I what do I mean by that well it is modular with the ability to hot swap components just like large industrial motor control centers are built this is reveloutionary thinking in the solar industry here is what the manufacture has to say about their MNB17.
MidNite inverter systems are a game changing innovation that will revolutionize system design and installation. The MNB17 is the most advanced battery based inverter/charger system ever devised and with eight patents pending, MidNite is the only manufacturer of a system like this. Our inverter/charger and MPPT solar and wind modules are hot swappable and available in various voltage configurations.
One person installation. Nothing heavy to man handle.
Hours of installation time will be saved on each job.
