The Victron Inverter RS 48/6000 230V Smart Solar combines a 6000VA inverter and an integrated MPPT solar charge controller in one enclosure, built for 48V off-grid and hybrid battery systems. It suits professional installers working on residential, commercial and industrial off-grid projects who want a single unit instead of separate inverter and charge controller components.

Key features of the Victron Inverter RS 48/6000 Smart Solar

• Inverter output, 6000VA continuous at 230V AC.
• Integrated charge controller, Smart Solar MPPT built in, so a separate solar controller is not required.
• Battery voltage, 48V DC, compatible with lead-acid and lithium chemistries.
• Connectivity, VE.Direct and Bluetooth for monitoring and setup through the Victron Connect app.
• Weight, 12 kg, in a wall-mounted enclosure.
• AC output, 230V, suitable for standard single-phase European and UK loads.

Product overview

Housing the inverter and MPPT charge controller together cuts wiring and cabinet space compared with fitting the two as separate units. The 48V DC input suits larger battery banks, where lower current draw at a given power level helps with cable sizing and heat losses.

The Smart Solar MPPT algorithm tracks the maximum power point of the connected PV array across changing irradiance and temperature. VE.Direct and Bluetooth connectivity allow the unit to sit within Victron's GX monitoring ecosystem and be configured remotely through VictronConnect, useful for installs needing ongoing monitoring or mobile commissioning.

At 12 kg one installer can wall-mount it unassisted, though the 6000VA output class means it will usually be paired with substantial battery and PV capacity. Confirm fusing, cable sizing and battery compatibility against Victron's installation documentation before commissioning.

Applications

• Off-grid residential systems with 48V lithium or lead-acid battery banks.
• Remote commercial or agricultural sites needing AC power from solar.
• Marine and vehicle setups using a 48V DC bus with 230V AC output.
• Backup power systems where solar charging and inverting must run independently of the grid.
• Retrofits replacing separate inverter and charge controller units to free up enclosure space.

Installation notes

This unit operates at 48V DC and 230V AC and must be installed by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Battery connections, PV wiring, fusing and earthing must meet BS 7671 and applicable local regulations. For installations connected to or working alongside the grid, G98 or G99 notification requirements should be checked with your DNO. Lithium battery integration may need extra BMS communication setup within the Victron ecosystem.
