ACDC 3kva vs Synapse 3.0V+

Featured Replies

Numbers can be deceiving. When comparing the two inverters below which would be the best install with 2 x 24V 50Ah LifePo4 batteries.

Regardless of the figures the Synapse has a continuous fan whereas the ACDC is a lot bulkier?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I will most times go for the higher Voc for solar panels. It just makes it easier with thinner cables. Depending on panels one can use up to 3 in series per string instead of being limited to 2 on the Voc=102V version.

My choice thus the ACDC Plus version. I would just go for 100Ah batteries instead of the 50Ah

Many thanks for the great advice.

The only reason I went with two 24v 50Ah lithium batteries instead of two 12v 100Ah batteries was that I could easily join them in parallel for total 100Ah storage and also that I could periodically add a single 50Ah battery as they are 24v each.

Good for you. Yes good reason to go with the 24V 50Ah as mentioned.
