earthrealm:Thanks for this explanation, I was confused seeing recommendation to use distilled water for flooded battery, and in another recommendation, electrolyte is what would be recommended, which made me more confused on the right one to use for the battery. |

Namzy, you seem to understand my point. I think some people on this tread think I am attacking SOROTEC. I only have issues with the particular inverter I bought. Also the seller assured me of the durability of the inverter compared to the other ones he is selling. From day one, I started observing strange things abt the inverter. On the first or second comment I made, I said the SOROTEC logo was poorly printed on the inverter which made me to reach out to Sorotec directly to confirm if this inverter is truly made by Sorotec & the lady on the other end confirmed that the Inverter is genuinely Sorotec. Its possible, Sorotec did not make this perticular inverter & only put there logo on it. For those trying to defend Sorotec, go and buy this perticular inverter & after 6 months, come & give us your feed back. Abt four persons have given a negative review abt this perticular inverter. I also strongly believe, the inverter capacity is not up to 3.5kw. I stand to be corrected Namzy: |

As for you friends inverter, I want to believe, it can be repaired. My was repaired buy a guy in Lagos. I have lost faith in that inverter. Namzy: |

I have taking note of your point. Kindly send me a link to YouTube video that explains how a inverter compressor can present itself as an inductive load. I tend to comprehend things like this by watching a good video. Thanks for the info. NiyiOmoIyunade: |

sintolord: My brother, your experience is what makes this thread strong. You are advising people ahead. This issue was brought up a while back about inverter ac , and whether to use transformer based inverters. I opted for transformer based inverters and I stuck with my normal ac. And it has been fine my neighbors inverter ac , keeps giving the guy problems and does not chill very well. Sorry for your loss. I 3 Likes |

Hi everyone, please my colleagues and I are having difficulties at arriving where the output of Fronius Primo PV Inverter 8.5β1 with a Conext XW + 8548 E should be connected to (Meanwhile, it is connected AC 1. There is a space for AC 2) I have attached picture for your perusal. Thank you.

Trippledots: Inverter is a transformer based, 5kva and 7.5kva inverter. Both carry my 1.5hp and 2 hp chigo ac. But of course 7.5kva does it better. And I don't on the 2 ac on the 5kva, but I can the 2 ac on the 7 .5 kva inverter. 1 Like |

Good morning my people, please I am in need of a small inverter (used) may be 900va or 1kva for a small project. If anyone has a working one that is discarded or kept and not being used and the person wants to sell, please I am interested. It must be PSN. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by sintolord(m): 8:10am On Feb 09, 2023 |
As for the inverter AC not working well. It could be the filter is full of dust & blocked. This must be cleaned as often as possible. This I do when am around. For me, am enjoying my AC. No issues at all with them. samnaija: |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 6:50pm On Feb 09, 2023 |
I do not much experience with Schneider with fronius but I believe the AC 1 is the primary source of power output from the inverter and AC 2 would be meamt for auxiliary output based on certain conditions. Under an ideal case, since the aim is to form a mini grid with the inverter then having them meet on the AC 1 is the right way to go. Nexuspulse: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 8:28pm On Feb 09, 2023 |
This looks like a ready install where these questions should have already been answered at the design stage. TLDR;;; - you very likely want the AC Coupled Option 2 below - by now I believe Schneider must have made firmware updates that make things better and smoother for the system designer/installer Broadly, you can use the Fronius PV inverter in one of 2 ways 1) Grid-tie;- where you connect the Fronius and Mains into AC In 1 - in this config, the Fronius will only make power from PV where mains is available - without mains, it will shut down and go to sleep. This is the simplest usage scenario optimized for selling excess PV to grid. The PV energy from the Fronius will first go to supply loads on AC Out and battery charging and all the excess will be exported to grid - big downside there will be no PV energy made when mains is down so not suitable for offgrid - there are a couple of schemes that may work around this but need extra expenditure. 2) AC Coupled;- this scenario is suitable for offgrid use and essentially sets up a micro grid where you connect the Fronius Inverter to the Schneider AC Out. Certain settings need to have been preset or else sparks may fly - see caveats below a) Appropriate micro grid settings (e.g MG 50) selected on the Fronius b) Schneider Conext XW+ or Pro must have appropriate frequency shift settings configured c) A generator connected to AC In 2 must be fitted with a certain Schneider approved contactor/relay that opens the Fronius PV input whenever the generator is running. You do not, I repeat you do not want to feed in excess PV energy into your generator or else something must break. Of course you can jury rig your own contactor to isolate the PV but warranty is lost. d) Battery charging by reversing energy from the Schneider AC Out is not automatic - care must be taken to configure appropriate [b] time of use [\b] settings for battery charging - you may need a PLC or Raspberry Pi or other logic controller to make this work smoothly for you else a lot of the Fronius PV potential will be wasted. e) Size of Fronius PV can not over power the Schneider AC Out - Victron use the factor 1:1 rule so a 6kw inverter can only be mated with a max of 6kw PV or Fronius inverter size limited to 6kw PV output/passthrough - Schneider relax this rule somewhat so allow a roughly 1:1.3 size ratio but I would advise to stick to 1:1 as a max for safety and tolerance. f) The Fronius will only run when it can sense electricity and then it wakes up and syncs its frequency to match - if your system goes off due to low battery, the Fronius cannot automatically wake it up next solar day, you will need to cold boot the system or preferably have a separate PV with a DC coupled charge controller to put some energy in the batteries and eventually wake the system up. I could not see any DC coupled elements in your picture and this part is critical to a stable system especially if targeted for industrial use or mission critical For the pundits when I say connect the Fronius to Inverter AC Out or Mains supply, I expect a distribution/bus bar arrangement with appropriate fusing/breaking and isolation for [Mains supply + Fronius Output + Inverter AC In] or [Inverter AC Out + Fronius Output + Inverter Loads] - essentially you must be able to separately isolate each and every of the energy generators, processors and centrally the consumers for a code compliant install. These are some of the things I remember from playing with these gadgets back in the day - I must say, my experiences sent me firmly into the hands of Victron as they do all these things so much better and elegantly and robustly.

Thanks a bunch NiyiOmoIyunade olopan & earthrealm Actually the DC elements are hidden inside Conext XW+ Conduit Box & Conext + PDP Panel. In the end, I utilize the attached diagram and the Fronius Primo came to life. This Austrian technology performs wonders. The project is for a corporate client at Abuja. Thank you 1 Like
