I have a small solar system, 2 panels (~500W), a charge controller, and a battery. I'm doing it at my house. I'm powering small load like yard lights, computer/wifi, security cameras. I'd like to be able to power a small fridge, 1000W surge. I really need like 400W continuous only. I may add another two panels and build a DIY powerwall later out of Nissan Leaf power packs.
This is an off-grid system, not intending to feedback to the grid.
Is there a pure sine wave inverter with a transfer switch but without charging from AC?
My goal is to use solar when available, then use the battery, then fallback to the grid till the sunrise. Never charge from the grid.
Gridtie inverters with the limiter seemed like a good idea but scarce selection and bad reviews.
MPP all-in-one seems to fit the bill but too many bad experiences shared online, so I'm looking now into inverters with a transfer switch.
This one Aims 600 Watt PICOGLF6W12V120V https://invertersrus.com/product/aims-picoglf6w12v120v/ seems promising, but the manual says that it will always charge the battery if the grid is present and voltage is low. Is this the right understanding?
I also found Samlex EVO-1212F-HW it seems to operate the same.

What are my options? What would you recommend?
