[RE-wrenches] Fronius USA available 2023 & 2024 ?

[Tump]

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

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?
