You might try Greg Smith at SMA. He is one of their trainers and has used one to power up systems when traveling.

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a DC power supply they've used for powering up inverters, for programming purposes? I had a custom-made one, but it finally bit the dust. It was also bulky. Size/portability is a factor. SMA's usually stellar tech support folks were (I guess, understandably) reluctant to offer any guidance. 120VAC with an output in the 200-400VDC range. I don't have battery banks at these sites, so the only programming options are to wait for wind (be nice!!!) or power them up this way. I know there are a ton on-line, but I'm specifically hoping for some personal experience and recommendation. Thanks much! Ross
