As the list of available inverters shrinks....

have you heard of Sunteam 5Kw from China Or CMS 10kW 3-phase inverter (carbon management systems) - think they must be a re-badged something else

sunteam no
CMS yes, dad's system uses 2 x 2KW CMS inverters.
about $1800 each so the right price.

My tip go direct to Neil, he can get his hands on the LATRONICS PVE2500 rugged and at just under $2400 the right price too.
oh and they are available now

nope but as I said the CMS2000 appears a fine piece of kit with everything you need.
check out the aussie roo too, I think they are a rebadged fronius. all comes down to price vs efficiency go for the highest efficiency possible without costing the earth.
ie if 1%more efficient is it worth another $500. personally i dont think so look for 95%+.
