Envy Duo 21G Inverter

A high-capacity hybrid inverter with full-system monitoring engineered for larger solar + storage systems.

Envy Duo 21G Inverter

Maximum Power. Complete System Visibility.

The Fortress Power Envy Duo 21G is a powerful 48V hybrid inverter built for demanding residential and light commercial energy needs. It includes the Guardian Wi-Fi dongle and adds a dedicated communication board inside the inverter. Together they let installers and homeowners see both the inverter and the battery in the Fortress Power Pro and Owner mobile apps and the web portal, with no external Guardian device required. With a maximum PV input of 25kW and dual-phase compatibility (240V split-phase and 208V three-phase), it delivers 12kW of continuous backup output and up to 16kW of export power. Integrated AC/DC breakers, a rapid shutdown transmitter, and parallel scalability up to 120kW make it a connected, future-ready solution.

Perfectly matched with Fortress Power’s 48V battery systems, the Envy Duo 21 supports multiple applications.

    Parallel up to 10 units for a total output of 120kW, expanding as energy demands grow without the need for complete system redesign.

  • Integrated Install-Friendly Hardware

    Includes built-in AC/DC breakers and an integrated rapid shutdown transmitter for faster, code-compliant installations.

  • Full-System Visibility

    A built-in communication board shows your inverter and Fortress Power battery together in the Pro and Owner apps and web portal. Remote firmware updates keep your system current without onsite visits.

About the included Guardian Wi-Fi Dongle

Every Envy Duo 21G ships with the Guardian Wi-Fi Dongle, the latest communication device for Fortress Power systems and the replacement for the previous Guardian Gateway. It plugs directly into the inverter’s communication port, so there’s no separate Guardian device to buy, mount, or wire.

Paired with the 21G’s built-in communication board, the dongle brings your inverter and Fortress Power battery into one view in the Pro and Owner apps and the web portal.

Key benefits include:

  • Included with every Envy Duo 21G, no extra hardware to purchase
  • Plugs directly into the inverter for a simple, clean installation
  • Inverter and battery monitoring together with any Fortress Power battery
  • Secure cloud-based monitoring, remote support, and firmware updates
  • Works with the Fortress Power Pro and Owner mobile apps

Installers can commission the system and connect the dongle in the Pro app. Homeowners can then monitor and manage their system in the Owner app. For help with setup, contact your installer or Fortress Power Technical Support.
