Victron Phoenix Inverter Smart. Is 3000VA enough to power our garage?

The new Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter Smart has finally arrived and after a quick 'unloading', I put it on duty and give it a first test ride. It seems, even it is a 'smart' inverter, it cannot communicate with other Victron products like the Smart Shunt or the MPPT charge controller. The inverter does not connect to Victron's Bluetooth network. It does connect to all Victron GX devices and also my Raspberry Pi running Venus OS though and shows also up on the Victron VRM (that comes in a later video...)

I also made the decision to mount the inverter into the cabinet and NOT on the wall next to it.

All electrical work shown was for demonstration and test purposes. All tests were conducted in a safe environment. Please contract a licence electrician in your area for all electrical work!
