    Do you mean single phase 110/240? Split phase is pretty uncommon. What inverter are you currently running?
    I am currently running a used TRIPP LITE PV2000FC 2000W, cost me all of 50 bucks of kijiji. Split phase is what most the inverters I see on line advertise them as, if they output 120/240
    ok, we are talking about the same thing then. You don't see many tripp lites around. If you want the same kind of durability the magnum PAE is probably your best bet. It uses the iron core copper wrapped transformer common in low frequency inverters. It's nice because it does not have a heavy standby draw and is a well established unit, comes in 24 and 48 volts models. The newer high frequency units have done away with the core but their standby draw is higher. Their surge capacity is also not as good. In that realm would be the Sol Ark at the high end and the SRNA and growatt at the lower end. They are nice in that they incorporate the high voltage charge controllers but anything goes wrong with them and they are a brick... I just designed a system with a growatt in it. For the cost you can have a second one waiting on the shelf in case of problems. The growatt is not split phase but SRNA has one. And auto transformer is also an option.
