I have seen those. Seems like there are some tradeoffs to the distributed modular inverter designs. Nice for line loss and wire size for sure.
I am ever drawn to the other (low) end of the grid tie spectrum, some thing like this Grid tie MPPT inverter because it is inexpensive and sized to my system. I picture using it to offset some electrical charges in the RV or house. And the cool thing about grid tie is I imagine it to be able to supplement the output of a genset (who knows it it would really synch up) to provide more total watts capacity and less gas usage. Maybe it would let a marginal genset run an AC, or run AC at a higher altitude.
