OK, I'll repost the summary here, not to go offtopic on that thread..

"The rated continuous output current from the inverter is 200A (RMS). This allows up to approximately 96kW output when running from a 230 to 480VDC voltage in a maximum 30°C (85F) ambient temperature environment."
There seems to be fully documented opensource 100kW AC inverter project(for traction application) on the web. They won the prize from the CircuitCellar/Microchip for 2007. It has PID functions, regen, CAN bus communication. Several people tried to contact the authors for more details, but so far no replication/verification has been published after their original release. In any case you can download both the abstract and documentation here:

Some discussion has been ongoing on this topic at the following forums as well:

I think that mere mortals might eventually crack that holy grail aka diy 50-100kW AC inverter, such a project would certainly help the conversion scene by a huge margin (the AC Tri-Zilla won't be out for years)!
But leave those <200kW bidirectional marvels to ACP's Alan Cocconi and the young Tesla guys, so keep it simple and affordable.. Thanks!
