2. SCOPE
This document outlines the necessary procedure required to enable the GEN24 series inverters to function and
received commands on the SAPN Flexible Export Trial. These are “additional” steps required on top of the
standard inverter commissioning process. Please consult our other documentation for information on how to
perform the standard commissioning steps.
The following Fronius Inverter series are relevant to this document:
/ Fronius Primo GEN24 (Plus) series
/ Fronius Symo GEN24 (Plus) series
For more information on the Flexible Export Trial installers are encouraged to visit the following websites:

3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The SAPN Flexible Export Trial uses the IEEE 2030.5 communication protocol to communicate from a Utility
Server (SAPN) to the Fronius Cloud Aggregator. The Utility Server publishes varying “export limits’ which the
Fronius Aggregator retrieves and forwards to the relevant inverter (Client). For identification of the correct
inverter, the protocol requires an LFD I (Long Form Device Identifier) to be created/issued to SAPN.
In order for the above mechanism to function, the system MUST have the following processes applied:
Inverter model must be listed on the SAPN compatible inverter list
https://www.sapowernetworks.com.au/industry/flexible-exports/compatible-equipment/
Inverter is loaded with a min. firmware version ≥ 1.23.5-1.
Remote Control activated on the inverter WebUI
An LFDI number created and supplied to SAPN
PV System created in Solarweb for the inverter
4. SYSTEM INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
Carry out the installation & commissioning process as per the standard process, for more information please
consult with our online manuals Primo GEN24, Symo GEN24.
NOTE: After completion the inverter MUST be running the firmware version 1.23.5-1 or greater.
If the firmware is lower than 1.23.5-1, please update the inverter via the Solar.Start App or via Solarweb.
