GivEnergy Hybrid Inverter 5.0 (Gen 3)
The longest manufacturer warranty of the full-size inverters here: 12 years, against the 5 years that is standard elsewhere. Electrically it is a conventional 5kW hybrid: two MPPT trackers at one string each, 7.5kWp per string, 97.6% maximum PV efficiency, with a 3,600W backup terminal that transfers in 10ms. At 21.7A maximum output current it is a G99 application, and G99 and G100 are both listed on the datasheet's approvals. It weighs 32kg.

One of the cheapest routes into hybrid storage. Capable, if not premium, and fine for straightforward installs. Note the model name: despite the "5000", its maximum AC output is 4kW.
