DIY solar technology has been improving at a rapid pace but EG4 has been on the bleeding edge over the past 3 years and their products outperform other bigger names like Tesla at way less than half the cost. They’ve made it possible for many folks to build solar systems that enable their homes to run off solar 24/7. We started out with a small EG4 inverter and expanded it into a system that took us off the grid. Amazing. Thank you James and everyone else at SS for constantly pushing the envelope with home solar technology!
I would love for EG4 to have independent installers trained. I would love to buy a system but there are no local installers I can find in the Northern VA area.
Just got my license in WV. Gotta reciprocate in VA, but I'd love to start a conversation if you're interested. I have run the battery operations at the two premier installers in VA for the past few years and am really excited about what EG4 cooked up.
I fucking love these guys. They are a whole generation of product ahead of everyone else. Maybe more with the manual bypass, seriously they have thought of everything as I could see doing it. Keep up the good work! Next time you guys have a charity project out of the states let us know, we would love to join and help out. We work all of the toughest AHJs in the NW. These products simplifies and lowers the cost on so much switch gear we previously needed to supply for 200A or even 60A bypasses.
This totally blows the Sol-ark out if the water guys! I have been waiting for exact solution that is NOT proprietary on the GridBoss switching! My next customer scenario is main meter and 4 loads in main panel is 60 ft from sub panel with most house circuits in sub panel. The wiring and conduit alone would have been well over $4-6k for electrician to run 200 amp “loop”. No need for loop anymore.
I have a very similar setup. I am trying to learn enough to get this setup going with a handful of panels until I replace the roof. It's pretty overwhelming even with a good understanding of residential electrical.
I need a setup/demo video comparing and contrasting potential on grid setups with this vs the 12 and 18k. He makes fair points with less conduit and wiring but I’m not sold. If you see it as next level then please build it, demonstrate, and compare real-world numbers.
@SignatureSolar your products are definitely on the top of my list for future off grid situations....right now though I need to power an off grid trailer....i have narrowed it down to an Ecoflow dura 3, Anker Solix f3800, or Mango 5000. For the 50amp capabilities.
Please consider releasing a meter collar controlled by the Gridboss. That would IMMENSELY simplify installation. A meter collar would mean zero mods to the heritage service panel.
That was a ton of information, thank you for that interview! With the one wire system and all of the sensors and logic, can you now do load-side AC coupling? i.e. microinverter panels on your garage that can back-feed to your gridboss at your house
Also love hearing that 6 flexbosses and 2 gridbosses can share a battery bank! Makes it so simple to create your own 400 amp system, with 400 amp becoming more normal especially with a bigger home and a garage/shop
Thanks for the video. Do I understand it correctly that the Grid/Flex combo requires fewer external components and associated labor? Does it bring the total cost of the system closer to one based on the 18KPV?
RE: Firmware, are we able to update it online using wifi or in the app, or do we need to hook up a laptop and communicate using a serial cable? It would be nice to be able to do everything via the app.
Gridboss looks great! Please compare/contrast with Franklin, Anker and Enphase offerings! Please figure out how to connect the 240 V 30A outlet from a Ford Lightning or Chevy Silverado EV to run light loads at night and recharge the permanent batteries if there was not sufficient solar during the day while in a grid outage. It would be great to plug in a nice looking battery stack like Anker, Briggs and Stratton (think EcoFlow ultra) with an Inverter on top of these stacks to minimize costs and wall space.
A question. I am having 42 solar panels on a barn roof connect directly to my meter and the grid at the farm house. The meter is on 400amp box, which goes to two 200amp breaker panels in two different locations. If I bought an EG4 FlexBoss21 with a GridBoss for each 200amp breaker panel, how do I connect both GridBoss to the solar panels? I want to be able to use the solar energy from the solar panels to run my house and or charge the batteries if the grid goes down.
Im not an electrician but I believe you would run your solar panels (PV) to the FlexBOSS21s. The FlexBOSS21s would connect to batteries and GridBOSSes. Each GridBOSS would connect to a separate 200 breaker panel and to the grid (meter).
I am building a new house. Would it be possible to have a grid boss installed during construction to prepare for future solar/battery install that may be a year or two in the future.
I realize that not many people are affected by this but I live at 8,500ft in the Rockies and the altitude limit is 2,000m or about 6,500ft. Does this void the warranty and is there any way to install these units at 8,500ft?
I keep having inverters still in the box when the next generation comes out. I don’t need this system but it seems like a good option when building the electric service on new construction.
EG4, if you're listening, your next innovation should have a DC smart port with an EVSE addon. This would enable DC charging to an EV bypassing any need for an inverter and conversion losses. 🙏🏽
Seems like it could be good for a small off-grid place. Based on James' comments, I think a grid-tie 400a service would be much more difficult with it. Probably better with 18kPVs and SPAN.
I’m interested in more of these integrated smart breakers in your off grid focused inverters. I’d love to dump all excess solar through an electric boiler to put additional heat into my slab foundation or run multiple mini splits at certain states of charge. The newer smart load centers don’t do much for us off grid guys if they arnt talking to our batteries.
@@norsk54472if you had a battery in a garage under the flex boss but meter is 200’ away on a pole, could the grid boss still be in the garage where the main panel is (all that is on the pole is a meter and a 200Amp breaker)
The FlexBOSS21 looks like just what I need. By chance is it able to communicate with a Span smart breaker panel for shedding? If not could it in the future?
I have an existing micro-inverter based solar install and a 24kw gas generator connected to the grid. I want to add a 48V battery backup for overnight.
It’s like you split the 18KPV into two components, boosted the power a bit and gave it a new name. Not that there is anything wrong with that!! I kind of like the idea of having one component on the wall better than two.
For those of us who dont have room at or near the Grid in (meter) and need to place the inverter and batteries in a garage that is 100 feet away this is a great solution. Don't have to loop 200 amps. I can install the GridBOSS at the meter and FlexBOSS21 in the garage with batteries. Only need to run Flexboss21 output to the GridBOSS. Plus you get rid of a bunch of different components that are built into the GridBoss. Easier and cleaner install.
Can GridBoss be used with a 100amp breaker, only see CSR2200N in the specs? Want to feed 100amp from main panel to grid boss that now goes to a sub panel. This will allow me to backup all critical loads in sub panel as well as have smart loads (EV, water heater, etc). Can't sell back here so will only use in off grid mode but the flexibility of the grid-boss makes setup and expansion so much easier.
Can the flex boss not export to the grid on its own? Is it possible to limit the current to the grid[boss]? Ie, if you already have a 25A line run across your house?
@EG4 is the absolute best in the biz!!!! These guys are doing it right and we’re moving their products like it’s going out of style. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Keep it up fellas!
What inverter product does EG4 have that is legal in California and can be installed between the meter and branch circuit breakers such that grid can be fed to the breakers when no solar or battery are available, but solar or battery are not fed back to the grid? My understanding is that some inverters do this but not at the absolute 100% "no back feed" level that is required. Also, there is proper industry vocabulary for these issues, product functions, and perhaps you can fill me in. Thx!
The tariffs on China have been in place Since Trump first put them in. Biden did not delete them. Turn off the mainstream and get better news bro. It will be just fine.
I have a Generac whole home generator with an auto-transfer switch. Is that compatible with the grid boss or would the auto-transfer switch need to be removed?
I wonder about this as well. I currently have Generac with ATF and a Solark 15k. I split them apart because the solark would try to sell to grid when grid was disconnect by Generac ATF.
Wait, the three hybrid inverter ports only work with EG4 inverters? That is a huge bummer. If it worked with existing installations (Enphase or other) the GridBoss would start a whole new and really useful niche by itself. A smart transfer switch for all sources: grid, generator, EG4, or existing inverters, and load shedding.
Oh no! That's okay! The video will be posted to our RUclips page after and you can ask any other questions you may have in the comments and we will do our best to answer them!
Because thats basically what the EG4 18kPV is. If you need multiple inverters then you a paying multiple times over for a transfer switch you don't need. By separating them you get more flexibility and are only paying for what you need. Like in my case I have to install inverter and batteries in the garage that is over 100ft from the meter (grid-in). If I use an inverter that has a built in 200 amp transfer switch I would have to loop 200 amps over 100 feet each way. That a huge cost. With the Gridboss I would only need to run a single 6awg wire from the FlexBOSS21 to the GridBOSS.
HOW ABOUT A PROGRAMABLE DUMP LOAD TO EV CHARGER SO WHEN EVERY THING IS CHARGED AND STILL HAVE GOOD SOLAR RESORCE IT WOULD THEN TRIGER THE EV CHARGER ON?
I guess I'm at a loss in the cost savings and complexity world. It still feels to me that the main point of all this tech is to be off grid. So I'm not clear why adding complexity and cost.
This is a great setup for those of us that are grid tied and also need to place inverter and batteries in a garage over 100ft from the meter. They just came out with the 12000XP... may be a better solution for simple off-grid needs.
It is exciting for EG4 and me, however, SRP in AZ does NOT care. They insist on their external transfer switches and meters. I have 3 meters on my how with a Sol-Ark, which like the EG4 Gridbox or teh EG418kw have the built in the transfer ability. Again, SRP refuses to rely on these products. They want to meter everything and have their own switches. Otherwise, I think the new products are great..
I'm thinking as James whips through all the numbers off the top of his head (input, output, amps this, watts that) that you guys could have some white board diagram showing ALL the connection ports of the units and show the min and max #'s of input and output. That way we would SEE what James intuitively knows. Too much, too fast. You market to DIY'ers, yet James is like an Indy car.

When are you guys going to start getting with the new technology that's coming into the market ..regarding high voltage inverters and batteries. 48v isn't where the market is anymore and is completely inefficient and incapable of meeting today's needs.
What were you expecting for a 16KW inverter…. A person using 16,000W inverter would definitely have an extremely large battery capacity and the 80W would mean nothing on such battery size
@@EasyyokeFilms No logic in your asumption. It's baseless. Solark 30k (UPS transfer 5ms) has an idle consumption of only 60w and it delivers 30,000w (real power, max continuous) and max. allowed PV Power of 39,000w.
The idle consumption is insignificant for me . I’m using a 6000xp on a recent installation where I have free at night electricity. I had to reduce the ac charge at night to 10 amps just to see the battery cycle a little. I tested it with a 3 ton ac without a soft start,demonstrating it to a friend in the HVAC business,and we were both surprised how easily it handled the inrush. He’s getting a 6000xp on his new house with the plan to expand later. Since he has gas also,two 6ks should be all he ever needs. I’m sure Solark has good products but Signature Solar is near and has excellent customer service and responds to what we are asking for.

So who is going to install these things to make sure a homeowner wont screw something up .and does this have to have internet in order to work
I just don’t understand why not 200 amp transfer switch on the flex boss
Because thats basically what the EG4 18kPV is. If you need multiple inverters then you a paying multiple times over for a transfer switch you don't need. By separating them you get more flexibility and are only paying for what you need. Like in my case I have to install inverter and batteries in the garage that is over 100ft from the meter (grid-in). If I use an inverter that has a built in 200 amp transfer switch I would have to loop 200 amps over 100 feet each way. That a huge cost.

HOW ABOUT A PROGRAMABLE DUMP LOAD TO EV CHARGER SO WHEN EVERY THING IS CHARGED AND STILL HAVE GOOD SOLAR RESORCE IT WOULD THEN TRIGER THE EV CHARGER ON?

When are you guys going to start getting with the new technology that's coming into the market ..regarding high voltage inverters and batteries. 48v isn't where the market is anymore and is completely inefficient and incapable of meeting today's needs.
Stephen King owns Signature Solar??? lol
Sheesh, that’s a first timer lol😂
80w idle consumption! No thank u!
What were you expecting for a 16KW inverter…. A person using 16,000W inverter would definitely have an extremely large battery capacity and the 80W would mean nothing on such battery size
@@EasyyokeFilms No logic in your asumption. It's baseless. Solark 30k (UPS transfer 5ms) has an idle consumption of only 60w and it delivers 30,000w (real power, max continuous) and max. allowed PV Power of 39,000w.
The spec sheet says less than 60w
@@jamesshowalter6362 check again. It's 80W in normal operating mode.
The idle consumption is insignificant for me . I’m using a 6000xp on a recent installation where I have free at night electricity. I had to reduce the ac charge at night to 10 amps just to see the battery cycle a little. I tested it with a 3 ton ac without a soft start,demonstrating it to a friend in the HVAC business,and we were both surprised how easily it handled the inrush. He’s getting a 6000xp on his new house with the plan to expand later. Since he has gas also,two 6ks should be all he ever needs.
I’m sure Solark has good products but Signature Solar is near and has excellent customer service and responds to what we are asking for.
