EG4 6000XP

Currently the most popular offgrid inverter. Reliable. And better than anything before it:

I have tested everything on this inverter and it will not break. I have tested all the features and built large systems with multiple units. You cannot go wrong with this unit. The only thing I dislike is the screen interface for changing settings.

EG4 6000XP Inverter

Reliable 6kW power for home backup and off-grid systems.

EG4 12000XP 
(Built in USA)

Now this is my favorite inverter. Imagine taking a 6000XP and doubling the output! I use two of these in my lab to test large batteries and communication protocols. This is my favorite EG4 product currently. The interface is easy to use unlike the 6000XP or their hybrid inverters and it is incredibly powerful.

I also run one unit in a hot metal building here in las vegas and it never has had over temp disconnect. It runs my bomb shelter and tiny home. Love this thing.
