Jeff, Magnum Energy has done one of the best jobs in the industry of putting their information out from dealers and consumers alike. The 2012 Renewable Energy Product & Parts Catalog is very easy to read and comprehend, has all the product line and accessories, and even configuration pages with material lists and options. The Accessories pages even have simple block diagrams showing how the items tie into the RE system.
As a retail store owner and and RE system dealer, it is incumbent upon me to seek out the information I need to be well informed about the products I offer. Magnum Energy has responded to my needs better than any other US manufacturer of RE products. Give Magnum Energy a call and I am sure they will rapidly send you all the information you need to stay informed.

However, this thread has found that there are many more wrenches than just me who did not know which remote was better for which type installation, that they can display battery info IF you order an optional battery monitor add-on, and they can start a generator IF you order an optional generator start module. Perhaps this will indicate to Magnum that they have problem with many installers and resellers related to a very limited understanding of the “options” offered with their inverter line, and they need to do a better job of getting the word out. Many wrenches indicated that like me, they didn’t know there was an “advanced” version of the remote, or why you needed it over the basic model. Others were not aware of the battery display or generator start options, or what defaults could be changed or saved. I like this product line and think they are priced right with some great features. However, it’s a shame Magnum does not want anybody to know anything about all the options available or why we should be offering them along with their inverters. Jeff Yago DTI Solar
