I think Fronius has left the building. The reason I know is they stopped
sending me AFCI repairs about 2 years ago. There was not any support
from their installers in remote places like the Sierra range.
I would second Tump on picking a good company with real money and
products. Below is a new one this fall.

Mick, I would avoid trying to use a manufacture that has little NO
support OR product availability.
IF your using the Schnieder Pros, I would suggest you consider the
600/100 CC. This product is more then capable of handling 7kW of
input. They are available, compatible w/ their (Schnieder's) battery
monitoring AND offer a system that is able to "talk" to itself.
Off grid should be uniform in design so clients/caretakers and you,
have little adding to confusion IF/when their is an issue.
Lord knows Im not saying there won't be an issue w/ Schnieder's
product, but we DO have a product, tech support & other persons w/in
the company we are able to call on.
AC coupling, for off grid while we have Hi V CCs available is for me a
thing of the past. My$0.02 worth TUMP

Hi, Mechanix~ I asked a Greentech location about quantity four Fronius
string inverter PRIMO 6.0-1. (6kW AC output, single phase 240 volt 60
hz) This p/n is in the Greentech portal but my particular branch
hasn't done much with Fronius. Today the branch manager told me
"Fronius no longer exists."
Can any of you confirm or correct this report? I have an off-grid
opportunity for which I wish to AC couple some of the PV. If Fronius
USA has indeed "left the building", are there other string inverters
that can be selected for country code "off grid 60 hz"? I'd like for
the PV inverters to only curtail their output wattage if there's a
frequency shift from the grid forming inverter (frequency/watt).
Schneider XW Pro units would be forming the grid. Schneider has a
white paper # 990-6421 on AC coupling but this document is almost
three years old & no help at all in finding compatible PV inverters.
Rapid shutdown is not mandated for this gig & each array would be
evenly illuminated. IIRC, the List hasn't been highly enamored with
SolarEdge in recent years; is that still the consensus?
Thanks as always; the Wrench List is the Bomb!
