At RE+, EG4 Electronics showcased new products packed with innovations that provide greater efficiency, cost savings, and flexibility for both residential and light commercial solar installations. Here’s a look at the standout offerings.
GridBOSS: The Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID)
The GridBOSS is EG4’s Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID) that simplifies the most complex installations, streamlining equipment and reducing operational costs. Equipped with four smart ports, the GridBOSS supports AC coupling and intelligent load management. The four ports can handle smart loads of 125A, 80A, 60A, and 60A.
The GridBOSS is a 200A service entrance-rated MID that dramatically reduces installation time. By eliminating the need for multiple boxes, the device cuts labor by hours per job, offering companies substantial savings over time. Additionally, the GridBOSS provides 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. This MID features a 200A passthrough for non-backup loads along with a 200A backup load port with a built-in breaker.
FLEXBOSS21: The Robust, Expandable Inverter
EG4’s FLEXBOSS21 inverter is built to pair seamlessly with the GridBOSS. The FLEXBOSS21, which has a 21kW usable solar PV input, is especially well-suited for installations that require more power and expansion capability. Its robust design and integration with the GridBOSS make it a flexible, scalable solution for both residential and light commercial projects.
One of the most notable features of the FLEXBOSS21 is its cost-efficiency. Integrating many components directly into the GridBOSS lowers the overall inverter price. This makes it an attractive choice for installers looking for powerful, scalable systems that minimize costs and maximize efficiency. Its 16kW output to grid with PV delivers reliable energy backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
12000XP: Power for Off-Grid Installations
The 12000XP off-grid inverter is designed specifically for the American market and offers significant performance upgrades over previous models. The 12000XP shines in settings where climate control is a priority and for off-grid users needing high power without a high price tag. Its ability to handle demanding loads makes it an excellent choice for homes requiring heavy-duty performance. Furthermore, the inverter’s 24000W usable PV input is the largest on the market.
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.
In addition to its impressive surge capacity, the 12000XP features a 100-amp bypass, ensuring smooth power transitions. This inverter is a powerhouse that delivers double the capacity of the 6000XP without doubling the cost, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective solution.
100Ah WallMount: Energy Storage Made Simple
The 100Ah WallMount battery from EG4 is an indoor energy storage solution with a 5.12 kWh capacity. It’s designed to pair perfectly with the 6000XP inverter using a conduit box, offering the same user-friendly display and settings as the EG4 LL-S 100Ah Server Rack Battery.
The 100Ah WallMount is ideal for indoor residential energy storage, particularly in homes needing backup power solutions. Its ability to supply 5.12 kWh of power makes it a reliable and efficient option for families looking to safeguard their energy needs.
Additionally, the WallMount battery is equipped with rapid shutdown capability, enhancing safety during emergencies. This battery is designed to provide reliable backup power during outages and can significantly reduce a home’s reliance on the grid.
Whether you’re installing an on or off-grid residential system, the GridBOSS, FLEXBOSS21, 12000XP, and 100Ah WallMount provide cost-effective, high-performance solutions for the most demanding energy needs.
