Overview
Up to 6 units can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Operation in 3-phase configuration is also possible. Internal relay can be used to signal an alarm or control a generator. All models include RS-485 port. Using the Victron MK3 interface all inverter parameters can be customised using a PC. Inverters can also be monitored via VRM or other monitoring & control systems. 5 years warranty.

What these specifications mean
Victron Phoenix Inverters is listed with 13 published specifications from Victron Energy, including power rating of 2400W, system battery voltage of 12V, phases of Single phase and connectivity of VE.Bus. 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 surge or peak rating, which covers the brief inrush of motors and compressors, maximum PV input and the number of MPPT trackers, which set how many panel strings you can connect, the MPPT voltage window, which decides how many panels go in a string and peak and weighted (European/CEC) efficiency, typically 96–98.5%. 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.
Before you buy an inverter
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.
- Keep the panel array between roughly 1.0 and 1.3 times the inverter's rating. Slight oversizing (a higher DC-to-AC ratio) captures more energy on cloudy mornings and winter days; going far beyond it wastes generation through clipping.
- Check the surge rating if you run motors — deep-well pumps, compressors and older air conditioners can draw two to three times their running current for a few seconds at start-up.
- Choose a hybrid inverter if a battery is in your plan now or later; retrofitting storage onto a pure grid-tie inverter usually means buying a second unit or an AC-coupled battery system.
- 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.
Where buyers lose money
- 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 Phoenix Inverters is listed at £ 793 (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.
Victron Phoenix Inverters — frequently asked questions
How much does Victron Phoenix Inverters cost?

Who makes Victron Phoenix Inverters?
Victron Phoenix Inverters is a Victron Energy product, listed under inverters with model reference VP-12/3000. The Victron Energy brand page lists the rest of its range so you can compare across the catalogue.
Is Victron Phoenix Inverters right for my system?
That depends on what it has to connect to. For an inverter, check the MPPT voltage window, which decides how many panels go in a string, peak and weighted (European/CEC) efficiency, typically 96–98.5% and topology — on-grid, off-grid, hybrid or micro against the rest of your equipment before price enters the decision. Check the surge rating if you run motors — deep-well pumps, compressors and older air conditioners can draw two to three times their running current for a few seconds at start-up.
Where can I buy Victron Phoenix Inverters 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.
