24K Multizone Mini-Split AC/DC Outdoor Unit
The outdoor side of a multi-zone hybrid system. One outdoor unit runs 2 or 3 indoor heads and shares 24,000 BTU of cooling between them. EG4 approves four head combos on this compressor: two 12Ks, a 12K with an 18K, two 18Ks, or three 12Ks. Some of those add up to more than 24,000 BTU on paper, and that's by design. Rooms rarely all peak at once, so the compressor sends its capacity where it's needed.

About this mini-split
The outdoor side of a multi-zone hybrid system. One outdoor unit runs 2 or 3 indoor heads and shares 24,000 BTU of cooling between them.

Rooms rarely all peak at once, so the compressor sends its capacity where it's needed.
Hybrid AC/DC power inputs: 208 to 240 VAC for grid, 100 to 410 VDC for solar. One MPPT port. The unit prioritizes solar during the day and switches to grid when the panels aren't producing. Build the array to hit 2,300W minimum.
R32 refrigerant. SEER2 around 22, HSPF2 around 10. Cooling 5 to 131°F outdoor, heating 5 to 86°F outdoor. Outdoor noise 58 to 60 dB(A). 5-year limited warranty. AHRI Certified and Energy Star Certified.
Indoor heads are sold separately so you size each zone to its room. This compressor takes the 12K and 18K heads; the 24K head only runs on the 36K outdoor unit. Pair each head with its matching line set (3/8 inch for the 12K, 1/2 inch for the 18K) and one comm cable per head. The configurator on this page walks every part and only builds the combos EG4 signed off on.

12K BTU High Efficiency Mini-Split Air Conditioner
Same platform as the 9K, sized up to 12,000 BTU. Rule of thumb: 9K does one room up to about 500 sq ft, 12K does one room or open area up to about 650 sq ft. Same Plug-n-Cool pre-vacuumed lineset, same 115V single-phase wiring, same Wi-Fi app. SEER2 still in the high twenties. Inverter-driven, R32 refrigerant, pre-charged. Heat-pump rated for shoulder-month heating in mild climates. Energy Star certified, AHRI listed, 5-year limited warranty. Pick this if you want EG4 efficiency without the DC solar input. For the same 12K BTU with solar-direct DC, see the 12K Hybrid.

12K BTU Hybrid Solar Mini-Split (AC/DC R32)
This is the model that actually plugs into your solar array. Two power inputs: 115V AC from the grid, and 90 to 380 VDC straight from a string of panels (up to 1,100W, 12A max). Built-in MPPT prioritizes the solar input during the day and hands off to grid power when the panels aren't producing. That means a small array, four to six 300W panels in series, can run the mini-split for free during sunlight hours without an inverter in the loop. Off-grid customers can pair it with a charge controller and a small battery for after-dark cooling. Grid-tied homes use it as a daytime offset that runs whether or not net metering is in play. 12,000 BTU of cooling and heat-pump heating. SEER2 around 22.5, HSPF2 around 9.7. R32 refrigerant pre-charged (about 27 oz). Cooling operating range 32 to 131°F outdoor, heating range 5 to 86°F outdoor. Max lineset 49 feet, pre-vacuumed quick-connect included. Indoor unit 21 lbs, outdoor unit 71 lbs. 5-year limited warranty. Energy Star and AHRI certified.

12K BTU Hybrid Solar Window Unit
The window-mount version of the hybrid solar story. 12,000 BTU of cooling in a single chassis that drops into a standard window opening. Lower install lift than a wall-mount mini-split: no lineset, no outdoor unit, no roof penetrations. A window, a 115V dedicated 20A outlet, and the DC solar input if you want to use it. DC input is 75 to 350 VDC, up to 1,200W of solar (12 AWG PV wire, MC4 connectors). On a sunny afternoon, four 300W panels in series will run this unit straight from the array. R32 refrigerant, pre-charged (about 17 oz). Cools spaces up to about 600 square feet. Outdoor operating range 50 to 131°F. Cooling only on this model, no heat pump. 66 lbs total. Window opening size: 15 inches tall by 19 inches wide, 25 inches deep. Energy Star certified, AHRI listed. 5-year limited warranty. This is the option for a renter, a workshop with no wall-mount real estate, or anyone who wants to test the solar-direct concept before committing to a full split system.
