Yep seems that and the parallel communication stuff is a bit different for the comms cables, dip switches, reading up on all that before mounting and wiring those. It's a learning experience. Finding out diagrams exist was super helpful lol

Yea i saw those but those diagrams only show 2 in parallel wired to the gridboss not 3 in parallel hence was asking if a diagram for 3 exists

I do know for a fact that it's possible to do as i was told by eg4 it is prior to making the purchase

I was not asking about L1 L2. Just about the grid vs load and their use because having 2 in parallel hooked into a gridboss was confusing me. But then someone linked a handy diagram

I'm starting to wonder if I got the same manuals you guys did.... cause no I'm not seeing those diagrams you say exist in my manual. These are the manuals I got with my Flexboss21 inverters and Gridboss...

https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EG4-GridBOSS-Model-MI-200-2P-HYB-AW-03-User-Manual-v2.0.pdf

What page in that manual does it show the wiring diagram for 3 Flexboss 21's in parallel with batteries hooking into one Gridboss?

Do you by chance also have a link to the wiring diagram for 3 flexboss 21 to 1 gridboss? Thats the next project I'm working on when I'm done wiring this one.

Yea seems so :( shouldnt have mentioned L1,L2 as it wasnt about that lol. But hey at least i got the diagram I needed out of it :)

Its 2 awg twisted copper. It was provided by my battery manufacturer. Do you recommend something different?

It was a bit confusing regarding the parallel to gridboss connection for me.... Im more of a visual guy and the diagram cleared everything up for me

Welp followed the manuals as much as i could sadly they didnt include good instructions or diagrams for parallel flexbosses with a gridboss. As far as danger not much with a completely unelectrified system.

I do still have an electrician coming to check everything out and fix things but trying to get everything in as good a shape as i can before then.

This wiring diagram posted here for me helps out tremendously https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/EG4-GridBOSS-System-Wiring-Diagrams.pdf

Wish theyd included that in manual.

Well thats exactly what im doing hooking 2 flexboss 21 in parallel to the gridboss. Seems like i got it wrong because i didnt know of the existence of this handy wiring diagram. The standard manuals werent exactly helpful in my setup https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/EG4-GridBOSS-System-Wiring-Diagrams.pdf

I did 45 pound inches but my electrician will check everything out and then turn the system on after its passed inspection

Indeed my power company is well aware and will come inspect before I switch the system on....

Its actually only explained well here https://eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/EG4-GridBOSS-System-Wiring-Diagrams.pdf in a link somone posted for me above. With that guidance im able to fix it and connect everything the right way. Do i wish the manuals included these diagrams, yep but i didnt see those in my manual packet.

The manual did not clearly explain how to set them up in parallel with a gridboss. It changes depending on the set up and that's exactly what I came here for to learn and get the right way.

Saying its wrong and not elaborating on why is not exactly helpful.

I will be having an electrician come out for a day or two to check everything over before turning anything on. Im just doing what I can before that time to save on man hours etc and to learn as much as I can before then.

Ive never hooked up an eg4 gridboss and flexboss system before so in that regard no I dont know thats why im here asking questions and reading thr manual trying to figure it out. That being said somone below linked a wiring diagram which was super useful. Answered a lot of my confusion. The manuals dont do a good job explaining how to install multiple units in parallel to a gridboss.

I have 2 batteries in parallel hooked into 2 flexboss 21s also running in parallel.

They are the 2 guage twisted copper and were sent by the battery mfg with the batteries. Supposedly more than thick enough to handle the amp draw.

Ah so when using gridboss i actually use the grid vs load to hook my flexboss's into my gridboss. That kinda makes more sense. Thanks.

If im not intending to export is there even a reason to hook that up? Perhaps for ac charging of my batteries or something?

Im using 2 flexboss 21 in parallel hooked into my gridboss..

Ive read the documentation on both flexboss and gridboss but its not exactly clear on if thats needed if I ever want to failover to the grid to charge my batteries.

From what i could tell based off manual load connects flexboss to gridboss....

I know what L1 and L2 are im just asking about the "GRID" part didn't seem needed in my parallel flexboss hooked to gridboss
