The "Contact Us" page on their website gives a contact number in China.
And none of the documentation shows a UL listing. I would tell the
customer that I can't install it - too risky.

G'Day and Happy New Year's All,
Just wanted to share this with you all. A potential client purchased a
somewhat complete system off the internet and is now seeking an
installer. I know, same old story. The package came with two Growatt
SPF-5000 ES inverters with two Huawei HW-TX-5000 transformers. The
twist to the story is apparently the inverters put out 230vac on a
single leg and the transformers are required to split the 240vac into
two legs of 120. I've never come across an inverter like this. As an
off gridder the first thing I think of is the inefficiencies of the
additional transformers to do something like this when we have plenty
of manufacturers that don't require this. I'd love to hear your
thoughts on this setup and possible experiences and pitfalls to beware of.
PS the client is kicking themselves in the butt, lol.
Gratefully,
Christopher--
