Welcome Phil Smith: strengthening our Victron technical support for trade partners
When you’re installing Victron systems, getting the specification right matters just as much as the equipment itself.
Battery chemistry, charge and discharge limits, inverter sizing, future expansion, system behaviour under real-world loads. These are the details that determine whether an installation performs exactly as expected, or creates problems later on.
That’s why we’ve strengthened our technical capability with the appointment of Phil Smith as Technical Sales Manager.
Phil joins Energy Solutions to support our trade partners with one thing above all else: making sure Victron systems are designed, specified and supported properly, first time.
Experience that adds real value on site
Phil brings more than 26 years’ experience working with batteries, inverters, chargers and Victron systems across marine and off-grid applications.
His background is hands-on and practical. He’s spent decades supporting installers, sense-checking system designs, and helping customers avoid the small but costly mistakes that can undermine an otherwise solid installation.
That experience means trade partners aren’t left second-guessing decisions or trying to interpret technical limits under pressure. Instead, they have access to informed, practical guidance grounded in real installations, not theory.
What Phil supports our trade partners with
Phil works directly with installers, integrators and resellers to support projects at every stage, including:
- Reviewing system design before equipment is ordered
- Ensuring batteries, inverters and chargers are correctly matched
- Advising on battery profiles, settings and performance limits
- Supporting commissioning and troubleshooting during installation
- Helping future-proof systems for expansion or changing loads
The aim is simple: systems that work as intended, continue to perform over time, and protect the installer’s reputation with their end customer.
Victron support that goes beyond supply
Energy Solutions exists to support the trade. We don’t compete with installers for end customers. We focus on providing the stock, systems knowledge and technical backing that make complex installs easier to deliver.
Phil strengthens that commitment.
Whether a partner needs a quick sense-check, reassurance on a specification decision, or help resolving an issue during install, having direct access to experienced technical support makes a tangible difference on site.
It also means less time chasing answers, fewer callbacks, and more confidence standing behind the system you’ve installed.
Designed for real-world applications
Phil’s experience spans a wide range of applications, including marine, off-grid, RV and mobile systems, battery storage, monitoring and remote power solutions.
That breadth matters. Many Victron systems don’t sit neatly into a single category, and real-world use rarely matches textbook examples. Having someone who understands how systems behave outside ideal conditions helps trade partners make better decisions earlier.
Working with Energy Solutions
By bringing Phil into the team, we’re reinforcing what trade partners already expect from Energy Solutions: practical support, clear answers, and systems that are designed to work properly in the real world.
If you’re planning a Victron installation and want support with system design, specification or technical detail, we’re here to help.
