EG4 FlexBOSS21 & GridBOSS Premiere Interview: The Most Powerful Solar Solution Yet

[@terrahillfarm]

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!

[@SignatureSolar]

Thanks for the kind words! We're always striving to push the boundaries of home solar technology.

[@patriot0971]

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.

[@Dhardc]

I’m in the same boat. DMV area. I will have to find a patchwork solution. But, certified installers in the area would really help.

[@tombrownca]

@@Dhardc "DMV" is so nouveau. In my day it was the DC Metro Area, and so it shall remain.

[@JoshSmith-vm6nx]

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've already ordered both Flex boss and Grid boss units. Can't wait to get them. 😊 Gonna hook'em up to 40 410 watt panels and 45kwh batteries! 😊

[@joshomary7977]

[@nshelton]

Could you imagine the cost for the same system spec for spec on enphase?? You guys are doing fantastic work keep it up!

[@GreenTechFusionRenewableEnergy]

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.

[@idahoduckhunter]

So where do you put the GridBoss and the Inverter in your scenario? I'm trying to understand this separation of components with the new GridBoss.

[@dalltex]

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.

[@Tech4Ten]

​@idahoduckhunter from what I understand. Before you wanted 18kpv hooked up with full capability utilizing 200 amp grid Passthru u would have to run 200amp (4/0, expensive) cable to the 18kpv then to you main panel. This doesn't even include the transfer switch/shut off switch required before the 18kpv but after meter that is expensive to install. With this grid boss it is rated for service entrance meaning it can be primary disconnect so saves you from having to install another disconnect, then you are also saving money on cable costs since now u just need 70amp cable from 18kpv/flexboss to gridboss. this also allows you to also relocate the batteries with 18kpv to a shed or other place on property and not have to be within 20ft of meter (because 200amp copper is expensive, and now only need 70amp copper) with the 200 amp disconnect being separated from inverter makes it easier for electrician or DIY to piece together a kit. So you can start by adding grid boss, then can add inverter/18kpv with. Batteries afterwards.

[@mcconja]

[@Carbur8tr]

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.

[@andyfromtoystory7426]

They’ve already done that in other recent videos…

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

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.

[@kylehertzog]

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.

[@justlikeyouful]

Need more info on 'the long distance problem' mentioned around the 29:00 mark.

[@ME-rv1pw]

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

[@ME-rv1pw]

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

[@nwadams1]

How are you able to connect the flex boss to the grid boss with a single line connection?

[@kenkrick7596]

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?

[@michiganengineer8621]

I'm looking at the online manuals for the Gridboss and Flexboss21 and it looks like the only way they can connect to the outside for monitoring/updates etc.. is via WiFi. Is it possible to use copper ethernet to connect to them if you don't HAVE a good WiFi signal where they're to be installed?

[@SignatureSolar]

We offer an ethernet dongle for this, without this dongle there is no way to hard wire.

[@michiganengineer8621]

@@SignatureSolar Good to know, thanks!

[@ME-rv1pw]

13:00 how would sharing a battery bank work with communication? If there is only one master battery that can speak to only one inverter, can the grid boss systems talk to each other? Or how do both systems know what the SOC is?

[@MichaelBurko]

Is it possible to configure a delay for the Smart Ports on the GridBOSS? I’d like to ensure a graceful shutdown of my HVAC condenser to prevent any potential damage (by HomeAssistant automation turning off the compressor in case of power loss).

[@DirectSolarPower]

Yes, it is possible to configure a delay for the Smart Ports on the GridBOSS. The gridboss itself doesn't support delays on it's smartports, but If you're already using Home Assistant, you can create an automation that detects power loss or a grid outage through the Gridboss. The automation can then include a time delay before turning off your HVAC compressor or any other critical devices.

[@MichaelBurko]

@@DirectSolarPower Well, the approach you're suggesting is not going to work, because if you configure the GridBOSS to shed power from the HVAC unit on power loss, it will do so within milliseconds and Home Assistant automation won't have time to kick in.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​..

[@troyethington9792]

Last part about batteries being anywhere? Because you can move the inverter?

[@norsk54472]

batteries are close to inverters (usually within 10 ft) but the GRID line is a 6 awg and you can run that much longer

[@tylerbrownjr7818]

@@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)

[@michaelrobertson7397]

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.

[@joshomary7977]

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).

[@davidfofi3572]

What is the idle consumption for the Boss

[@andyfromtoystory7426]

Under 30 watts.

[@glennwest267]

Great job. Really loved this. It solved alot of problems and issues.

[@GMRedline]

I'm running into the exact run away cost problem with my SolArk 15k. Local installer wants $11k for a disconnect, transfer switch, AC coupling, wiring and labor. Not including inverter or batteries...

[@emilianoruiz7681]

Will Gridboss work with other Eg4 hybrid inverters? like 12kpv or 18kpv?

[@norsk54472]

yep, just those

[@SignatureSolar]

@emillianoruiz7681 Yes, both the 18kPV and the 12kPV!

[@carlossantini]

The spec is important for locations that use these inverters for UPS without solar (apartments, condos, etc)

[@offgridwanabe]

Wow a pile of information in this video I may have to watch it more than twice.

[@punksjutgbd]

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. 🙏🏽

[@BY-tt3vc]

Are flexboss and GridBOSS outdoor rated?

[@jamesshowalter6362]

Yes

[@SignatureSolar]

Yes, the outdoor rating is NEMA 3R on the GridBOSS and NEMA 4X on the FLEXBOSS21.

[@glennwest267]

Do I need to add EG4 Battery Chargers for Darkstart?

[@tripzero0]

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?

[@chadlumpkin2375]

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?

[@chadlumpkin2375]

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.

[@JeffreyAdams-kt5gv]

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.

[@JoshSmith-vm6nx]

Just run a 48v lithium battery charger off the lightning outlet and you're golden.

[@guns4less]

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.

[@jamesshowalter6362]

Great idea

[@SignatureSolar]

Yes!

[@offgridwanabe]

Do these products work with the LuxPower 18kpv labelled inverter in Canada? Luxpower LXP-LB-US (18KPV) 12k Hybrid Inverter

[@RiggerBrew]

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?

[@31337cyberhuman]

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.

[@SignatureSolar]

No need, you can connect your generator to your GridBOSS :)

[@simon359]

So let me get this right, the flexboss21 replaces the 12 or 18 K inverters?

[@SignatureSolar]

The FlexBOSS21 is an alternate option, yes!

[@danielking2944]

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.

[@cgutowski471]

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.

[@davidfofi3572]

Is the boss rated for outdoor

[@norsk54472]

yes

[@SignatureSolar]

Yes! The GridBOSS is rated NEMA 3R and the FLEXBOSS21 is rated NEMA 4X.

[@Malachidelfweald]

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.

[@thinde88]

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.

[@brentfrank7012]

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.

[@joshomary7977]

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.

[@tombrownca]

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 FlexBoss21 is $4500, the GridBoss is $1800. These don’t include the 14kW battery at $3500. How can they say money is saved? An automatic transfer switch is usually under $1K. EG4 needs to find a cheaper solution.

[@olimpiobvg]

I just don’t understand why not 200 amp transfer switch on the flex boss

[@joshomary7977]

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.

Still a horrible transfer time approximately 20ms (configurable to 10ms, which is still too high; it needs to be 7ms or under for sensitive equipment, with 5ms or less being preferred. Otherwise, downstream UPS systems will still be required for that sensitive equipment).

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.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

after 30 years with my photon harvesters, this great new tech solves SO many problems. Love it and a great video, keep going

[@SignatureSolar]

Thank you @norsk54472

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.

[@SignatureSolar]

Thank you for your feedback! We’re always looking for new and innovative products!

[@carlossantini]

80w idle consumption! No thank u!

[@EasyyokeFilms]

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

[@carlossantini]

​@@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.

[@jamesshowalter6362]

The spec sheet says less than 60w

[@carlossantini]

@@jamesshowalter6362 check again. It's 80W in normal operating mode.

[@danielking2944]

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.
