    What is everyone's opinions on Outback Radian vs Schneider Conext XW+ systems, single and dual?

    In my research I have so far narrowed it down to those two systems but I am open to suggestions on other systems.

    Outback Tech Support is excellent. Schneider's is more hit or miss depending on who you get through too.
    Don't know about Outback but Schneider is well known for shipping out new manufacture product with firmware that is up to a year out of date and not being very helpful about getting you updated.

      I use the xantrex/Schneider XW6048. It's been ultra reliable (I'm off grid, 90 minutes to a large town) and handles everything thrown at it. The Radian was not released yet, and if I recall right, it's basically 2 of the "smaller" inverters in one package.
