You might try Sam Vanderhoof over at Solar Cowboys (Grass Valley area) .. They have been rebuilding and reselling older models of ALL sorts of stuff for the technician-from-another-time. . Any time I need something like a 120vAC SMA or something Legacy. . .
They have it. . <br>

<div>The SMA 1000 was 120V output. I saw one a while back on eBay.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The SMA 700 are nice little units for training. The input window is tight with newer modules. The input max current is pretty low. <br>

<p>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<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>

an AES-1000 to covert my seldom-used off-grid system into a revenue producing grid tied system.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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?</p>
