Victron Energy — Premium Inverter/Charger
Quattro 48/15000/200-100/100
The high-power inverter/charger for demanding solar installations. 15 kVA, dual AC inputs and VE.Bus technology to scale without limits.
Why choose the Quattro 48/15000?
The Quattro 48/15000/200-100/100 from Victron Energy is the benchmark choice for those who need maximum power and total peace of mind in their solar battery installation. With 15,000 VA of continuous output and a built-in 200 A charger, this unit single-handedly manages solar production, battery storage and power supply to the entire home or business, without compromise or limitations.
What sets the Quattro apart is its dual AC input: it can connect simultaneously to the grid and a generator, automatically selecting the best available source. If the grid fails, the switchover to battery or generator happens in less than 20 milliseconds — fast enough that no computer, TV or appliance will notice the interruption. This is what Victron calls the "no-break" function.
Thanks to VE.Bus technology, up to 6 Quattro units can operate in parallel, reaching 90 kVA of total power. Three-phase configurations are also possible, making it the ideal solution for industrial premises, large estates, rural hotels or any installation that demands real power and professional reliability. Compatible with Lithium-Ion and lead-acid batteries, with full monitoring via Victron's VRM platform.

Technology Explained
What is VE.Bus?
VE.Bus is Victron's proprietary communication protocol that links multiple inverters and other brand devices together. Several Quattros work as a single coordinated unit: they share load, synchronise, and can be managed from one point. It also enables remote configuration and real-time monitoring from anywhere in the world.
Why dual AC inputs?
Most inverters have a single grid or generator input. The Quattro has two fully independent inputs. This means you can connect the utility grid and a diesel generator simultaneously. The unit automatically selects which to use, and if both fail, it switches to batteries in under 20 ms — completely transparent to all connected equipment.
PowerControl and PowerAssist
PowerControl limits how much the Quattro draws from the grid or generator to avoid overloading it. PowerAssist goes further: when loads demand more power than the grid can provide at that moment, the Quattro automatically makes up the difference from batteries. When demand drops, it recharges the batteries. The result is that a small generator can power much larger installations without tripping.
Parallel and three-phase scalability
When one unit is not enough, the Quattro grows with your installation. Up to 6 units can be connected in single-phase parallel to achieve 90 kVA total. Groups of three can also be combined to create a three-phase output, ideal for industrial machinery, pump motors or any equipment requiring three-phase power. Same model, more power — no need to replace anything already installed.
Ideal Applications
Off-Grid and Remote Installations
Farms, rural houses, country estates or installations without access to the grid. The Quattro 15 kVA can power appliances, climate control, water pumps, workshops and machinery simultaneously without power limitations. With Lithium batteries, full autonomy is possible even on cloudy days.
Businesses and Industrial Premises
Rural hotels, wineries, farms, small factories and any business with high or critical loads. Dual AC input ensures continuity even if the grid or generator fails. In three-phase configuration, it can power motors and professional machinery in a fully autonomous way.
Critical Backup Systems
Data centres, medical systems, servers, cold stores or any installation that cannot afford even a second without electricity. The sub-20 ms switchover to batteries ensures continuity for all electronic equipment without restarts or data loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which batteries are compatible with the Quattro 48/15000?
The Quattro is compatible with Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) and lead-acid batteries (AGM, gel, OPzV, OPzS). For Lithium batteries, direct CAN Bus or VE.Bus communication allows the battery BMS to tell the Quattro exactly how to charge, protecting cell life. Victron has native integrations with most Lithium battery manufacturers on the market.
Can I expand the power in the future?
Yes. Up to 6 Quattro units of the same model can be connected in single-phase parallel, reaching 90 kVA total. Three-phase installations are also possible with groups of three units. This scalability is one of the great strengths of the Victron VE.Bus system: invest today in what you need, and expand tomorrow without replacing anything already installed.
Does this inverter connect directly to solar panels?
The Quattro is an inverter/charger: it converts battery energy into AC and charges batteries from the grid or a generator. To harness solar panel production directly, it is paired with Victron MPPT charge controllers (such as the SmartSolar 250/100), which charge the batteries from the panels. The complete Quattro + MPPT + batteries combination forms a fully managed solar energy system.
How is the unit monitored and controlled?
Victron offers several monitoring options. The Color Control GX or Cerbo GX connects to the Quattro via VE.Bus and provides a full control panel with a local touchscreen and remote access through the VRM (Victron Remote Management) portal, accessible from any browser or the Victron app on your phone. Bluetooth control is also possible via the VE.Bus Smart dongle, with no cable or additional device required.
What installation does the Quattro 48/15000 require?
As a high-power unit (15 kVA, 72 kg), installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. It requires a 48 V battery bank with adequate capacity, cabling of sufficient cross-section for the 200 A charger, and appropriate protection fuses. The unit does not include batteries, solar panels, charge controllers or protection panels: these must be purchased separately according to the system design.
