Victron Multiplus-II 48/5000/70-50 230V Inverter repairs Cape Town

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Looking for pointers to inverter repair specialists in Cape Town area.


Victron is (as far as I can research) not well known for there after services, and in my view IBC solar is just a non-responsive.


I recently had 1 inverter replaced because of a blown up mother board, but then, when connecting that back to the other 2 (3 phase system) the comms ports did not work.
When I send that back to IBC solar they responded with this as part of a response.

"There is moisture ingress in several area of the products which has led to the product not being tested properly due to the possible damage that can happen".

Trying to understand that is difficult, since they now write off two relatively expensive Mk2 5Kw Inverters without testing it. The inverters are still working, but you just cannot communicate with them through the LAN port. Somehow they could not dry the moisture in a controller environment and plug in a network cable to test? Makes no sense.

This is a frustrating process. So I'm asking for pointers to anyone repair business that can actually connect this inverter and test it? Is IBC really the only suppliers and service company for Victron?

The two inverters are: Multiplus-II 48/5000/70-50. 230V

Serial Number (SN): ⁠HQ2041KEICN⁠
Part Number (PN): ⁠PMP482505010⁠
Hardware Revision: ⁠hw rev 07

Serial Number (SN): ⁠HQ2041JKMNX⁠
Part Number (PN): ⁠PMP482505010⁠
Hardware Revision: ⁠hw rev 07

Any pointers could help please.
Thx
Gerhard
