Hybrid control for solar storage
Pair with Tigo EI or GO batteries to store extra PV and keep essential loads running during outages. The inverter automatically balances production and consumption to favor self-use while staying grid-compliant.
Flexible DC design, dependable yield
Two independent MPPTs, a 2:1 DC/AC ratio, and broad voltage windows let you mix roof planes, run longer strings, or add modules later without compromising performance.
Outdoor-ready and installer-friendly
The NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure stands up to the elements for yard or garage installs. Roomy wiring space, quick-start commissioning, and integrated rapid shutdown help speed up installs.
Works with 50A ATS
This 3.8 kW model is compatible with 50 A automatic transfer switches for tidy, code-compliant backup integrations and seamless source switching.
