How to read this datasheet
Victron EasySolar is listed with 11 published specifications from Victron Energy, including system battery voltage of 12V, MPPT trackers of 1, phases of Single phase and connectivity of VE.Bus, VE.Direct. Those figures are what decide whether this unit fits your system, so read them against the equipment it will connect to before comparing price.
For an inverter, the figures that matter most are topology — on-grid, off-grid, hybrid or micro, continuous AC output in kW, which caps the load you can run at once, surge or peak rating, which covers the brief inrush of motors and compressors and maximum PV input and the number of MPPT trackers, which set how many panel strings you can connect. It is the component that decides what a solar system can do: how much power you can draw at once, whether you can export to the grid, whether the system keeps running in a blackout, and how well the panels and battery are managed day to day.
Choosing an inverter: the checks that matter
The checks below apply to any inverter. Run them against the specification table above — most disappointing solar purchases are compatible-on-paper units that fail one of these in practice.
- Confirm the inverter is approved by your local utility or distribution network before you buy if you intend to export power — grid connection depends on certified anti-islanding and local grid-code compliance, not on the inverter's specifications alone.
- Match the battery communication protocol (CAN bus or RS485) between inverter and battery. Compatible voltages are not enough; without a supported protocol the battery management system and inverter cannot agree on charge limits.
- Look at the warranty term and what it covers. Five years is the common baseline, ten is offered by stronger brands, and extensions are often cheaper bought with the unit than later.
- Size the inverter against the loads you need to run simultaneously, not against the total wattage of every appliance in the building — a 5 kW inverter comfortably runs a fridge, fans, lights and a couple of ACs, but not all of them plus a water pump starting at the same time.
What people get wrong
- Overlooking the IP rating. An outdoor installation needs at least IP65; indoor-rated units mounted outside fail early.
- Buying on peak-watt price alone. A cheap inverter with a narrow MPPT window forces awkward string layouts and can strand a portion of the array.
- Ignoring the ambient temperature rating. Inverters derate in heat, so a unit rated 5 kW at 25 °C may deliver noticeably less on a hot roof-adjacent wall at 45 °C.
Price and availability in United Kingdom
Victron EasySolar is listed at £ 886 (GBP) for United Kingdom. Solar pricing moves with supply, import duties and exchange rates, and distributors set their own margins, so treat this as a comparison reference and confirm the current figure before you order.
SolarBazaar compares equipment rather than selling it. Shortlist here on specification and price, then buy from an authorised distributor or installer in United Kingdom: warranty cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports Victron Energy locally before ordering.

Is Victron EasySolar right for my system?
That depends on what it has to connect to. For an inverter, check topology — on-grid, off-grid, hybrid or micro, continuous AC output in kW, which caps the load you can run at once and surge or peak rating, which covers the brief inrush of motors and compressors against the rest of your equipment before price enters the decision. Look at the warranty term and what it covers. Five years is the common baseline, ten is offered by stronger brands, and extensions are often cheaper bought with the unit than later.
Where can I buy Victron EasySolar in United Kingdom?
SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and price here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer in United Kingdom — buying in-channel is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.
