I have 3-phase 3x Sunny Island 5048US in my garage, with Sunny TriPower 30000TL-US.
It takes in one 120V phase from the grid, makes the other two phases. Also backfeeds grid from PV connected to the TriPower.
Have just been getting it going, haven't put it through its paces yet.
One of the issues I have to deal with is converting 120/208Y from Sunny Island to 480V for TriPower. But a Y-Delta transformer is not ideal; floating delta has risk of driving 480V relative to ground not just 277V. If I don't get a transformer with 277/480Y, I have to add a zig-zag transformer to 480 delta or otherwise create a neutral to ground.
For Europe or other non-US market, SMA now has a small high-frequency 3-phase hybrid. Looks like a Sunny Boy, but with both PV and battery connected, and produces 3-phase of a few kW
Also a 75kVA 3-phase battery inverter
I've seen a number of Chinese 3-phase units as well.
