Core Features of the Tigo EI Hybrid Inverter
- Versatile Power Options: Available in multiple power classes - 3.8 kW, 7.6 kW, and 11.4 kW models - to suit a wide range of residential energy needs. Select the ideal size to match your home's energy consumption and solar array.
- Storage-Ready Hybrid Design: This 'hybrid' inverter is inherently designed for energy storage integration. Seamlessly pair it with the Tigo EI Battery to create a comprehensive solar and storage solution, enhancing energy independence and backup capabilities.
- Exceptional DC Oversizing Capability: Supports up to 200% DC oversizing (2:1 DC/AC ratio). This allows you to install a larger solar array relative to the inverter's AC power rating, capturing more solar energy, especially during morning and afternoon hours, maximizing energy yield and system ROI.
- Low 80V Starting Voltage: Features a low 80V starting voltage, ensuring faster startup in the morning and improved energy capture even in low-light conditions. This contributes to higher overall system efficiency and energy production.
- Multiple Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs): Equipped with 3 or 4 MPPTs (depending on model), the EI Hybrid Inverter optimizes energy harvesting from each section of your solar array independently. This is particularly beneficial for roofs with multiple orientations or shading challenges, maximizing overall system performance.
- Flexible Grid Compatibility: Compatible with both 208V and 240V electrical service, making it suitable for a broad range of residential electrical systems across different regions.
- Integrated Revenue Grade Meter (RGM): Includes a built-in Revenue Grade Meter (RGM), providing highly accurate energy monitoring for performance tracking, incentive program compliance, and precise energy consumption data.
- Smart Communication Options: Features built-in Wi-Fi for standard network connectivity and offers optional cellular communication for reliable remote monitoring and system management, even in areas with limited Wi-Fi coverage.
- Lightweight and Compact Design: Designed for ease of installation, the inverter is lightweight (32 lb for smaller models, 45 lb for larger models) and compact, simplifying mounting and reducing installation time and effort.
- Rapid Commissioning with EI App: Commissioning is streamlined and efficient, often taking less than 10 minutes using the Tigo EI App, even when including Tigo TS4 Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE). This significantly reduces installation time and complexity, saving time and labor costs.
