I'm currently in the early stages of planninga small solarset-up as a proof of concept to see if designing/building a larger system (possibly including a powerwall) is worthwhile in my current location.
Right now I'm planning to have 4-5solar panels with a grid-tie inverter (probably around 1000w total). I'm in the USA in a location that makes it very difficult (expensive) to sell back to the grid so I'm stuck looking at GTI's that have limiters... Which brings me to my main question: Where are they? I've primarily seen 1 brand that's available and it's the SUN/ECO/Generic named blue box that everyone seems to be using. Model numbers similar to SUN-1000GTIL2-LCD.
Is SUN the only real player in the game right now for small systems? eBay seems to have some larger/more expensive models from "Tumo-Int" but I haven't seen much about these in use and they're well above what I'd like to spend on a POC.
Am I missing something? Not searching on the right terms? Or are the GTIL's just not as popular as it seems like they should be?
