<div id="signature">Mick,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would look at the workings of the Schneider back-up control switch and it's internal watt node. Recent webinar training. This will allow AC coupled power to show on Insight. I am not advocating it though, certainly not for offgrid.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi, Team and >>gosh<< I must apologize to <a href="mailto:Connell.Christopher@fronius.com" rel="noreferrer">Connell.Christopher@fronius.com</a> and to Fronius.
<div>I'm sorry that I inadvertently fueled an untrue rumor about Fronius USA. Chris, I should have tracked you down for the correct answer before putting my question on the List. I will also correct this with my Greentech branch manager on Monday, Heaven permitting. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I freaked out when my Greentech rep told me Fronius had left the building but I'm glad I don't have to re-shop the string inverter component after all. I did an AC coupled off grid project using Fronius Symo in 2019: No Drama, No Trauma.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For those Wrenches who've wondered, "Why, Mick, why..." about off grid AC coupling: most of the rooftops that need PV for my 2023 opportunity will be inconvenient for running DC wires to the battery location. These same rooftops, however, will have AC sub-panels close by, so I had an "A-ha, negative loads!" moment. At least some of the PV will run through a charge controller in any case. I think the wattage from any AC coupled string inverters won't show up on Schneider Insight, so that's another reason for me to heed those Wrenches who suggest DC coupling for all of the PV.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks to all who've contributed to this thread. I think the thread should now extinguish & moderator Michael may wish to delete it from the archives. I appreciate accessing the "hive mind" on various 2023 PV inverters and again, Chris, I'm sorry to have caused a temporary smudge on Fronius USA. The Wrench List is the Bomb!</div>
