I've added an inverter sizing calculator to my website WattBuild. The goal is to establish what devices will be used, and to calculate continuous and surge power requirements using typical loads from our device research.

My DIY is normally "build it from scratch" instead of "buy a thing that does it for you."

The way you have it listed they are all "inverters". But an inverter is only one component of a solar system. In fact it's not even part of a DC only system. Most of what you have are complete systems minus the solar panels. Way more than an inverter.
