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.

Solis S6-GR1P3.6K

A plain PV-only inverter for a roof with no battery planned. Its datasheet rated grid output current is 16.0A at 220V (15.7A at 230V), and a 16.0A maximum output current, so it sits on the G98 line rather than above it. Two MPPTs on a 3.6kW unit is generous for the size, and a 5.4kW recommended maximum PV input gives real headroom for a DC-oversized array. It weighs 11.2kg and the enclosure is IP66.
