What may I ask is so special about the Sofar ME3000SP?
It was one of the first decent Hybrid inverters installed at huge scale in the UK. Therefore there are loads of them coming up for cheap as people upgrade their systems. At the time other inverter brands were unreliable and often had low charge-discharge rates or were tied to proprietary battery systems. The ME200SP can be programmed and has a decent following from people prepared to write their own software.

LuxPower inverter/charger

I've had one from new, that is several years old now, and it really works well. Got a couple of second hand units recently. One is going to be a 'spare' just in case I need it, and the other I'm planning to wire up as per Tinbum's instructions so I can double my output from batteries.
