I too am NOT excited about the AIO, seems like for off grid clients its a nightmare waiting to happen. Sol Ark ….running all your individual strings back to the inverter is to say the least a pain, w/ new systems but old upgrades? Victron does have Hi voltage & Hi current CCs as well as other Manus. All the BOS for replacing older CCs is already on the wall. Needless to say this white head still prefers redundancy.
