Andrew, Did you see the self consumption or backup on XW+? Also XWPro is only a bit more and has a 10 product warranty on it. If you used this with the Discover AES LFP, xanbus can directly link Soc and all battery data to anywhere in the world on Insight2. https://solar.schneider-electric.com/solution/commercial-self-consumption/ [1] On Tue, 25 Jun 2019 09:14:24 -0700, "Andrew" wrote: I would love to use that setup but I cant export any power, I can buy it but nothing can go back to the grid.

Re: [RE-wrenches] AC/DC coupling on conext
Hello Drake This is from the App note OutBack’s Frequency Shift AC Coupling is only employed in the Radian GS(A) class inverter at this time. It requires a firmware upgrade on both the Radian inverter and MATE3s system display and controller. The firmware is only available by download on the OutBack Power website. The GS-AC-GEN –KIT is available from Distributors. It contains the needed breakers and relays the app note shows the wiring.

Re: [RE-wrenches] AC/DC coupling on conext
Yes, they do LI's. Yes they sell their own batteries but we are in the process of using one with Tesla car batteries ( harvested from damaged Tesla's ). They helped by modifying some the factory settings for us. peter From: RE-wrenches On Behalf Of Andrew Sent: Monday, June 24, 2019 3:30 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] AC/DC coupling on conext Hey Peter, Thanks for the input, I recently had another installer recommend them to me a couple weeks ago so Ill check them out.

Re: [RE-wrenches] AC/DC coupling on conext
Hi Andrew OutBack now has AC Coupling for the Radian using frequency shift. Below is a link to the Ac Coupling/ Frequency Shift App Note located on the OutBack website. http://www.outbackpower.com/downloads/documents/appnotes/acc_freq_app_note.pdf You also state the client wants to "get solar" in a situation where the grid cannot accept incoming solar. The radian has several modes which utilizes solar and will prevent sell back. This might be an option to consider.
