The facts that change the ownership choice

Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.

QuestionCurrent answerFreshnessBasis

Current price

$7,079.62 current documented equipment-package reference

Use as a component boundary rather than an order promise; confirm stock, current distributor, cables, solar, service and panel work, generator limitation, freight, tax, engineering, permit, utility and installation

Market branch

complete three-box U.S. hybrid system
Checked 5 days agoOur synthesis2 evidence items

Nameplate and usable capacity

TSB-10-US is 9.9 kWh total and 9.0 kWh usable LFP storage. One inverter supports up to four batteries, but the defended price and product contain one
Checked 5 days agoDirect source2 evidence items

Continuous and timed peak power

The selected inverter is rated 11.4 kW continuous. The retained current package does not publish a battery-backed timed surge value beside the price, so an installer must document motor-start and peak duration from the exact current inverter sheet
Checked 5 days agoDirect source2 evidence items

Coupling, inverter and controls

The EI battery is high-voltage DC-coupled to the 11.4 kW hybrid inverter and the 200 A ATS is required for grid-tied ESS backup. The package supports new solar and named retrofit diagrams
Checked 5 days agoDirect source2 evidence items

Transfer, islanding and loads

The ATS switches supported home loads from grid to solar and battery. The retained package does not include a generator input, so generator marketing from another Tigo generation or external transfer design must not be imported
Checked 5 days agoOur synthesis4 evidence items

Expansion boundary

Up to four EI batteries provide 39.6 kWh total per inverter. Each addition changes high-voltage current, structure, cable, BMS, listing, permit and utility conditions and must be commissioned through the current app
Checked 5 days agoDirect source3 evidence items

Ambient and installation

NEMA-rated equipment still requires exact wall or floor mounting, 200 A service integration, battery spacing, temperature limits, rapid shutdown, communications and trained installation. Current retail unavailability raises replacement-channel risk
Checked 5 days agoOur synthesis2 evidence items

Thermal, fire and stored-energy safety

LFP chemistry and system certification do not make high-voltage DC or stored energy fire-free. Confirm UL 9540A test scope, shutdown, clearances, impact and flood exposure and whether passive or active thermal components need maintenance
Checked 5 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Listings, code, permit and utility

Retain exact TSI, TSB and ATS part numbers on the UL 9540 combination and applicable UL 1973, UL 1741, IEEE 1547, NEC, rapid shutdown, permit, fire review, utility and permission-to-operate records
Checked 5 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Installer, software, cloud and privacy

Tigo EI App, cloud and installer portal commission and monitor the system. Confirm local fallback, account ownership, installer credentials, remote firmware, site and interval data, retention, deletion and utility or VPP access
Checked 5 days agoDirect source3 evidence items

Warranty, throughput and service

Confirm current battery, inverter and ATS warranties separately, including cycle, capacity, registration, internet, authorized-installer, removal, freight and transfer terms. Document an alternate distributor before buying unavailable stock
Checked 5 days agoDirect source3 evidence items

Incentives and outcome boundary

The federal residential section 25D credit is unavailable for 2026 placed-in-service property. State and utility programs can require current approved-product status. Low hardware price does not guarantee stock, permitted completion, savings, runtime or whole-home output

Price and scope boundary

Portable Sun documents the exact 11.4 kW inverter, 200 A ATS and one TSB-10-US package at $7,079.62, while currently marking it unavailable. Use as a component boundary rather than an order promise; confirm stock, current distributor, cables, solar, service and panel work, generator limitation, freight, tax, engineering, permit, utility and installation

Current verdict

The complete low-price U.S. hybrid path

Tigo EI is defended as a clearly bounded inverter, battery and ATS package, but the current availability flag and missing generator path make distributor and service verification mandatory.

What changed

The product has a history

Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.

Owner experience

What repeats after the purchase

Owner and installer evidence is retained as a quote, commissioning, outage-test, software and service checklist for EI Residential Solution, not an accuracy, safety, runtime, savings or reliability rate.

Reports are self-selected and span different capacities, loads, solar, generators, services, panels, utilities, codes, climates, installers, firmware, tariffs and system ages. They cannot prove code compliance, fire safety, savings, runtime, resilience, warranty performance or whole-home outcomes for another site.
SignalWhat owners reportOur readEvidence

ATS commissioning, stock, EI app, inverter firmware, expansion and installer support

Self-selected exact-system owners and installers discuss quotations, commissioning, outage tests, standby loss, firmware, app access, service and repair. Reports are anecdotal, configuration-specific and do not establish runtime, savings, safety, reliability or a population failure rate.

Confirm stock and warranty acceptance in writing, then require the exact TSI, TSB and ATS numbers on the permit and commissioning record

Manufacturer identity, specification or manual, support, current U.S. price or a documented complete-system boundary, independent editorial and bounded owner or installer evidence were checked on August 19, 2026. This market covers current U.S.-supported stationary residential battery and energy-storage systems or materially different complete configurations. It excludes portable power stations, EV-only vehicle-to-home systems, bare cells and rack batteries without a supported residential system path, unsupported marketplace equipment, discontinued or orphaned systems, cosmetic bundles and capacity-module padding. Preserve exact nameplate and usable energy, continuous power, timed peak or its disclosed absence, AC or DC coupling, inverter, controller, gateway, transfer and islanding, backed-up circuits versus service, generator and solar compatibility, expansion, ambient derating, mounting, thermal management, fire and stored-energy hazards, and any coolant, refrigerant or suppression-service requirement. LFP or another chemistry, BMS protections, UL 9540 system listing, UL 9540A test evidence and UL 1973 battery listing reduce or characterize specific risks but do not make a system fire-free or guarantee AHJ approval. Retain the exact listed combination, NEC edition, permit, fire review, utility interconnection and permission to operate. Preserve installer access, app, local control, cloud, privacy, firmware, warranty, throughput, parts and service. Current IRS guidance says section 25D is unavailable for residential property placed in service after December 31, 2025; state, utility, lease, business and VPP programs are separate. No capacity, power, transfer speed, solar, generator, weather mode, tariff schedule, app forecast, quote or incentive guarantees runtime, savings, outage survival, resilience or operation of every home load.
