Not here.
Happened to spot this Anenji 12kW AIO on special over at Aliexpress: I have no personal experience of using one but the price is attractive for the parallel model especially with the limited time $120 off offer to the $1172.58 price with free fast shipping (Delivery est. June 25-29th). Link: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808698378123.html?

It looks like a new model of SRNE that shares a similar enclosure with the ASF and ASP series but supports 12kW output and has a similar LCD display to the HESP series. Saw something similar on this Eco-worthy bundle https://www.ebay.com/itm/1267298778...&asc=20231211145321&meid=e28742d79af740a4a8ec that appears to have the same specs from the limited information provided but it has a different screen/light configuration. Haven't found an actual datasheet or manual for this new mysterious cheap 12kW split phase inverter yet though.
 
They make an interesting 3 phase model that I can find the manual at Anenji's web site. They do not list the split phase one although the same 12kW and looks. The 3 phase model has L1, L2 and L3 AC in and out. (3 pole breaker on the side)
 
Here is the manual for the split phase version - the MPPT appears to be an exact replica of the ASP/ASF/ABP with 22a input

The real question is this - does AMINEJI make this? And did they copy SRNE?

Good find - and very interesting indeed!

SRNE sells white label units of other models to other sellers to rebrand and sell as their own, SPI series is white label ASP series and SEI series is white label HESP series, my assumption is this is the same, a SRNE manufacturered white label unit that has been rebranded. Searching GES48120M220-500P you find a bunch of vendors selling what is apparently the same inverter, so that might even be the actual while label model number rather than the vendor rebrand model number. The formatting and images in the manual look very similar to those of the ASP and the HESP manuals, not that that isn't easy to clone of course.

Got this the other night, $1170.90 -$120 from super summer sale -$257.35 from 25% rakuten cashback = $793.55 + tax
Now shopping for batteries and panels. My wallet 😢
That's a killer deal. Looking forward to your review on it once you get it setup and operating. Do not know what rakuten is but adding 25% more off an already good price is amazing.

adding that the blue eco-worthy 12kw manual showing GEP48120M220-500 and GEP48120M220-500P, and the white 12kw off grid is also avai but model# is not listed

Last month AliExpress had it on for 1400 CAD and was saposse to be free shipping. 2 months by boat as well.
Was very tempted... but don't really have a use for it right now....
 
Be careful with alliexpress they have a disclaimer hidden at the bottom of their pages . After you hit the view more button..
It says if you are not willing to pay duties don't buy the item..
So I think they give you a price that looks good but when it comes to your country then customs want their money above and beyond what you paid the seller..
Its getting sneakier....(See your Canadian(so it wont apply) but just putting that out their for whoever reads this..)

Yeah Aliexpress has many sneaky things to be aware of. At them moment I try buying only the products that are in the US with a few days shipping. The tariff uncertainty has made buying a lot more of a gamble.

I understand.
But usually I communicate with the seller, and find out if it DDP shipping,,, often if it's by boat, 2 months. It is DDP.
You do have to watch if its ali shipping method, they can ship it anyway. Might come DHL which is a rip off.
 
All great information for everyone glad its here for everyone to read... Alliexpress has done sneaky things to me I buy items and use their coupons then two days later the seller says shipping costs are more so they need a certain amount more (usually the same amount as the coupon I got lol)..
Don't get me wrong I like the stuff just not them wasting my time with gimmicks..
 
I have had that happen on some small stuff. I just ignore it.. seems to still show up most of the time... (don't always remember to check messages unless I am waiting for an answer)
If it doesn't show up, you get your money back... and I think they get dinged for not shipping it...
 
Ok my unit arrived, total time from ordering to my door was 20 days, no extra fees, seller provided updates on the order status, said USA stock but tracking was with Fedex Int Priority so I'm not sure, never had something this heavy from Ali, shipping was smooth.
This is my first 48V large system so I apologize for the inaccuracies, I'm still gathering all the other components. Got the batteries from eco-worthy ebay (4 pack V3 + 5KW inverter + rack) for $3300, panels have been ordered, Longi X10 485W for around $0.28/w.
Inverter looks like SRNE ASP but with a recolored UI from HESP. Can't comment much on it since everything is disconnected, here's a quick video for a better look:
Anenji 12KW Unboxing
 
Nicely done unboxing video. May not be necessary but I like to check the terminal block wires going to the AIO (internal side) for tightness when installing the external wires.
 
Can someone verify that this unit will function as a UPS, meaning if the mains are in bypass mode (running from grid) and the grid goes down the unit will automatically switch over to battery power and inverter mode (assuming batteries are sufficiently charged) and if so, what is the switchover speed?

Yes it can function as a UPS, 10ms transfer. All the specs can be found here: https://anenji.com/products/12kw-48...erter-with-wifi-ct-optional-parallel-function

ETA: Disclaimer: I do not have one of these so all I can go on is published specifications. I have not seen any reviews yet. My thread here is not to be taken as any form of endorsement of suitability or quality. I would buy one for the heck of reviewing it if I was not living on the Dole (SS) and having to gather pop cans for extra spending money.
