EG4’s Newest Innovations
One reason we’re so enthusiastic about EG4 is their constant innovations in features and efficiency. Three new products are being introduced before the end of the year that we’re very excited about.
Gridboss: Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID)
The new Gridboss MID eliminates the need for multiple boxes and makes installation quick and easy. It beats every MID on the market with four programmable ports for AC coupling/smart loads, three inverter ports and one generator port as well as 200A backed-up and non-backed-up loads. The Gridboss will provide one point of connection for utility, up to three 90A hybrid inverters, a generator (up to 125 amps), loads, smarts loads, and AC coupled inverters. With AC coupling, it can integrate with any existing hybrid Inverter or grid-tie solar system. It features a 200A passthrough for non-backup loads along with a 200A backup load port with a built-in breaker. This product will greatly simplify complex set-ups, saving time and money.
Flexboss 21: Robust, Expandable Inverter
The Flexboss21 inverter is designed to work seamlessly with the Gridboss MID. Its 21kW PV usable is the highest PV input on the market, generating 12 kW of AC power during non-sunlight conditions and a full 16 kW AC with solar PV gain. It is easily expandable for large systems of 50-160 Amps (equivalent to full 200A service) and features enhanced MPPTs of 26A/26A/15A allowing for 13 Amp Panels and up to 5 strings.
When paired with the Gridboss, the Flexboss21 eliminates main panel upgrades and critical loads subpanels, saving up to $7,500 due to less equipment, ease of install, and easier permitting. It’s a flexible, scalable, cost-effective solution that integrates several components and thereby lowers the overall costs.
The Unplugged Texan was at the RE+ show in Anaheim this month and provided this helpful video overview of the Gridboss and Flexboss21.
12000XP Inverter: For Heavy Duty Performance
The 12000XP is designed for off-grid users needing high capacity without a high price tag. The inverter’s 24000W usable PV input will be the largest you can buy. With a separate AC couple/smart load port from its generator port, the 12000XP is equipped to handle high surges and can start a 5-ton air conditioning unit, making it ideal for environments requiring significant power. It's the only inverter on the market with separate AC coupled and generator ports and it also features a 100-amp bypass, ensuring smooth power transitions.
