Schneider Electric Conext SW 4024 Inverter/ChargerWrite a review

I use this inverter to drive my Critical loads panel. I drive my whole kitchen (gas stove), 1st and 2 floor lighting, sump pump, 12k btu mini split, gas tankless water heater, and pellet stove. I have no issues even with some larger loads running at the same time. Been up and running for 6 mons now. the combox is necessary to make setting changes but do not find power consumption data accurate. batteries are charged off 2400w solar with a midnight charge controller. I turned off the battery charger in the setting unless there is a storm coming. and run this off grid from spring to fall. and as a ups during the winter. Long story short been running off grid for 6 mons. strait without any issues. the combox would only be a 3 star from me.

I need to buying the inverter

I purchased the Schneider SW4024 & Combox over 3 years ago as a whole house UPS (excluding HVAC, Range, Dryer, WH, etc). I live in a rural area in Florida with dense tree coverage that isn’t conducive to solar panels. Our electric grid has frequent brownouts and outages. With two 12v 100AH lead acid batteries, my house will run for 1 to 2 hours allowing sufficient time to start my portable gasoline generator, if necessary. I configured the SW4024 recharge rate at 25% to allow my 5KW generator to power the house without stalling. Fortunately, the outage switch over time is quick enough to prevent my computers and other electronics from glitching. I barely notice a flicker of the household lights. I removed all the small unreliable UPS after their batteries failed, since they were no longer needed. I am very happy with performance and reliability of the Schneider SW4024 as a UPS (even though it was never marketed with that functionality).

This baby is the real deal as in inverter charger. Simple to set up, and easy to use. Quite frankly you will also need the control panel (SCP) to monitor and control the system, but to be expected with this sort of setup. It powers the entire off-grid camp including all appliances/lights/etc, washer/dryer, water pump (solar soft start) and septic system lift pump and will run for 2+ days without significant charging. I have only had to use the generator when operating power tools, otherwise we have plenty of power for this 3 season camp.

This was all self-installed. Instructions are very clear and easy to understand, just be educated on proper grounding/safety requirements in advance.

I did not purchase the Schneider Electric charge controller, although it
s clear to me it would be ideal to have it along with the SW4024 to get a complete picture of the system in one place - I already owned a Morningstar TS-MPPT-45 charge controller (which is also a great unit). I just have to look at two screens to get a complete picture of how the solar system is performing.

This installation is in an off grid camp in (very) rural Maine.
