Unlock Off-Grid Power with the All-New EG4 12000XP Inverter
As energy independence grows in demand, reliable off-grid power solutions become even more essential. That’s where the new EG4 12000XP Off-Grid Inverter comes in—a power-packed, all-in-one solution that sets a new standard for performance, flexibility, and ease of use. Whether you’re looking to power a remote cabin, a workshop, or provide whole-home backup, the 12000XP brings serious power to any setup. Let’s dive into what makes this inverter unique and how it can meet your energy needs with ease.
Triple the Solar Capacity – Ready for High-Demand Energy Needs
The 12000XP isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a powerhouse. Offering triple the solar input capacity of our popular 6000XP, it allows up to 24kW of usable PV power with a 28kW max recommended array. This margin provides the flexibility to oversize your array, meaning more energy captured even on cloudy days. For anyone wanting a high-output, off-grid inverter that maximizes solar potential, the 12000XP is a perfect fit.
Real-World Impact: Imagine using the 12000XP in a remote cabin setup. During peak sunlight, you’re pulling in maximum solar power, easily covering your load demands while charging your batteries for nighttime use. And even if the clouds roll in, you’re still generating enough power to keep things running smoothly.
Robust Power for Large Loads
One of the standout features of the EG4 12000XP is its high surge capacity. With up to 18kW for 5 seconds, it can power larger, high-demand appliances with ease. This means no soft start is needed for heavy-duty equipment, making it perfect for high-demand setups. Need to run a 5-ton air conditioner, power up workshop tools, or even kick-start a water heater? The 12000XP can handle it all.
Why This Matters: Picture a hot summer day where your off-grid system powers an AC unit and a workshop simultaneously. The 12000XP’s robust surge capabilities ensure that everything powers on without a glitch, keeping you cool and productive without compromising your power.
Fast and Efficient Battery Charging
Battery charging should be fast and effective, and the 12000XP delivers. With a 250A max charging capacity from the PV array, it can charge batteries faster than ever, keeping your system powered up for evening use or during unexpected outages. For anyone needing a system that maximizes charging efficiency, the 12000XP sets a new standard.
Off-Grid and Grid Support Flexibility
Designed to fit both off-grid and grid-support needs, the 12000XP can adapt to any setup. If you’re off-grid, this inverter can power loads directly from PV during the day and keep batteries charged for reliable nighttime use. But, if you’re connected to the grid, the 100A bypass lets you use grid power to support loads and automatically switches to battery backup during outages. This dual capability provides peace of mind whether you’re off the beaten path or just preparing for grid downtime.
Practical Example: For homeowners using the 12000XP as a backup, the grid bypass kicks in, seamlessly transitioning your essential loads to battery power within milliseconds if the power goes out. This ensures uninterrupted power without missing a beat.
Smart, All-In-One Design
The 12000XP packs multiple components into a sleek, all-in-one design, simplifying installation and reducing overall costs. Integrated features include the PV disconnect, battery breaker, AC input/output breakers, generator backup switch, LCD screen, and more. This means fewer components to buy, fewer parts to wire, and less clutter overall, making it a smart, cost-effective choice for installers and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Unique Dual-Port Design for Flexibility: One of the standout features of the EG4 12000XP is its unique port configuration—it’s the only inverter on the market that includes separate AC-coupled or smart load ports alongside a dedicated generator port. This dual-port design provides unmatched flexibility, allowing you to manage AC-coupled inputs or control smart loads independently of generator support. It simplifies setup, optimizes load management, and ensures you have complete control over your power sources without overlap.
Key Benefits of the All-In-One Design:
- Reduced installation time and wiring needs
- Built-in safety features, like a lockable PV disconnect for easy maintenance
- Space-saving solution with all essentials in one compact unit
Scalable for Future Growth
If you’re planning for future energy needs, the 12000XP has you covered. Up to six 12000XP units can be paralleled, creating a massive 72kW system. So as your power needs grow, the 12000XP grows with you, making it a smart investment for those looking to expand over time.
Thinking Ahead: Let’s say you’re initially powering a small cabin, but you plan to add more appliances or expand your system. With the 12000XP’s scalable design, you won’t have to replace equipment; you can simply add more units as needed.
Solving the Net Metering Challenge
With net metering policies frequently changing, the 12000XP provides a reliable alternative for those looking to go off-grid. Many utility companies are lowering buy-back rates and adding peak usage fees, making grid sellback less attractive. With the 12000XP, you can achieve whole-home backup through battery support, keeping your home running smoothly even when the grid fails.
Built-In Safety and UL Certification
The 12000XP is UL1741 certified, meeting strict safety and compliance standards, and is equipped with essential safety features, including a lockable PV disconnect. This makes it an excellent choice for residential or commercial installations where safety is a top priority.
5-Year Warranty for Long-Term Confidence
Backed by a 5-year warranty, the EG4 12000XP gives you confidence in long-term reliability. Knowing your inverter is covered for years to come makes it a solid investment in your energy independence journey.
