Have there been any updates or improvements on the "time outs"
that Bill Brooks reported with the Fronius inverters? From
what I recall of the post, the periods where the inverters were not
producing resulted in overall efficiencies of around 85%. Since
learning of this issue, I've avoided specifying these units.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

If there’s a -1 at the end of the Fronius model, it’s split phase output
with two hot output terminals. IG Plus 11.4-1 for instance. If there’s a
-3 at the end, it’s a true 3-phase unit with three hot output terminals.
IG Plus 11.4-3 for instance. <br>
<br>
And Carl is correct, the larger Fronius units, particularly the 3-phase
ones, have been pretty much backordered for the past couple months. Some
end-of-year rush in Europe was the rumor we heard. Allow a month or two
for delivery.<br>

My only comment is the 3 phase units are a long lead time item.
Fronius expects to catch up to demand by end of Q1 2010.<br><br>

I have yet to install a Fronius IG Plus inverter. Looking through
the manual I’m trying to determine whether each inverter in the line,
between 3 and 12 kW, puts out three-phase power across all three poles,
L1, L2 and L3 or whether all or some of these models put out power across
just one or two poles like the SMA Sunny Boys.<br>
<br>
I’d appreciate any education on this.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
