EG4's own product page for the FlexBOSS21 hybrid inverter, captured byte for byte on September 22, 2026. It establishes the identity block "MODEL #: IV-16000-HYB-AW-* SKU: EG4INV240V50AFLXBOSSV2", the description and the Key Specifications block. Both identifiers differ from the catalog record, which holds EG4INV240V50AFLXBOSS as both model and stock keeping unit with no IV-16000 model number at all; the difference is recorded in the identity note rather than written over the recorded value, because the page does not say whether the V2 stock keeping unit marks a hardware change or only a catalogue renumbering. The page prints no price.

I have the 1st gen version of the FB21. Since it's out in the barn some 80"+- from the house the fan noise is not an issue. That said it seems to be 55-60 decibels with the fans running. Other than the need to reboot the inverter after a firmware update ( It would not export power till after the reboot). it's been flawless for me. However my average power draw (not counting the grid export) when not charging the car is under 3-4kW 90+% of the time. The car is a Chev Volt so make charge rate is only 3.85kW for it. My export limit is only 10kVa due to the transformer the utility installed back in 1983 when I built the house. Yes I would buy this again. I have the FB21 and GridBoss connected to home assistant for data collection and monitoring. The changes I have made to the configuration of the units have all been thru the EG4 app/website. After a fine tuning of the settings for how I want my system to run. I have been very happy with it.
As of Oct 2026 and 17 months of operation I have produced 31.03mWh of Solar. My last 3 electric bills were $0.17 each for the month (Sales tax is not offset but the energy sales). For the Winter 2025-2026 I used a total of 357kWh of imported power from the grid. The rest was self consumption from solar or the 64kWh battery bank.
Very happy with sales support. Only contact with Tech to to troubleshoot the issue with unable to get configuration changes to "stick" after a firmware update. Forget how long on the phone but it was pretty painless.
I have not had any issues or problems with any of the items from Signature Solar since I made my purchase.

I installed this system as a DIY project over the Christmas holidays in 2025, getting formal PTO from by PoCo in February 2026. This was a permitted and inspected install The total system is 25 kW of solar goodness, including 8 kW of AC couple on the GridBoss.
It has been operating without a hitch for 9 months straight, mostly self-consumption. The installation was easy, with the FlexBoss mounted on the outside of the BossBox. Getting 3x300 pound batteries in the BossBox was the painful part, not the inverter.
The firmware stabilized with FAAB-2727 and my only complaints are minor. First that the web and app monitor don't take into account AC Coupled solar fed into the GridBoss, so the reported total solar production says 15.2 MWh. My AC Coupled adds another 7.3 MWh, so while it shows in the flow on the monitor, the totals aren't totaled.
The simple TLDR is it has just worked for 9 straight months without any issues.
A few software glitches at the beginning; however, it has since been patched with firmware updates. Had one instance where the output got stuck in grid bypass mode after a heavy storm. EG4 support got me back up and running on solar in about an hour. I was quite surprised by the customer support. Has been very reliable over the last 2 years, day in and day out. I've put over 35 MWhs of solar through this unit so far.
The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.
Missing details. This number counts only the evidence recorded so far. The source review for this product is not finished, or the maker has not disclosed enough, so the number can only go up.
Missing for this product: Battery conversion efficiency needed; Idle consumption needed.
Each input is scored against the best documented value for an inverter: warranty term and battery conversion efficiency against every published inverter, idle consumption (lower is better) against the inverters in the same output band, or against every published inverter when the output is not documented. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0 and is listed as missing. Researched products receive a score. Certificates earn points for the evidence itself. Size and weight do not affect scores.
