If it is going to be grid tied, non of the small inverters that I know of will be UL listed and they cannot be used. I also think they are all stand alone in any case. We use a fair number on boats and on the oyster farm.  I think the smallest that I can think of is Outback GTFX at 3000 watts, 120VAC, but you probably already looked at that.  Chris

I replaced a number of AES (?) 120 Vac 1 kW grid tied inverter back when I was just starting out (2000) There was one poor design element with the DC fuse holders that I discovered and was able to work around, but I usually advised my clients to swap these inverters out for the SMA SWR 2500 and add some PV panels into the mix. I kept a couple of the AES 1000s for a while and then finally gave them to our local scrap metal purveyor.

I have a 900 W off-grid system that I used to haul around to “green events”. Blue Sky CC, Xantrex 1000 W inverter, 24 V AGM battery set. But as time goes by I spend very little time demoing this big an off-grid system, and I wish I had an AES-1000 to covert my seldom-used off-grid system into a revenue producing grid tied system.

Did anyone else keep a working AES-1000 (or low power grid tied inverter) that works and would be willing to part with it for a modest sum. Is there a solid  ~1,000 W 120 Vac grid tied inverter out there on the market?

My system is comprised of five (5) Tata 180s. Vmpp=35.8 V.
