6. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The EG4
®
FlexBOSS21 is a 12/16kW, 120/240VAC split-phase, all-in-one, hybrid, sine wave inverter
designed for the residential and small commercial markets. The FlexBOSS21 can utilize 21kWs of DC
(STC) solar PV on three MPPTs (26/26/15A) and can generate 12kWs of power during non-sunlight
conditions and 16kWs with solar PV gain. It can feed through 90A of utility power from its grid port to
load port. The FlexBOSS21 is an enhanced power-level cousin to EG4’s flagship 18kPV inverter that
has been designed to optimally work with EG4’s GridBOSS power gateway though it can function as a
stand-alone inverter as well as those not needing the full feature set of the 18kPV or GridBOSS.
6.1 FEATURES
• Applicable for off and on grid situations.
• Has three MPPT solar charge controllers, supporting PV input of 600V with an optimal range
of 120VDC – 440VDC.
• Three MPPTs allow flexibility in paralleling strings. MPPT 1 and 2 allow up to 26A each, while
MPPT 3 allows 15A, for a total of 21kW of utilized solar power.
