Suitable inverters Compatibility with the connected devices, suitable data communication and a Fronius
Smart Meter at the feed-in point are prerequisites for using some Wattpilot functions (e.g.
PV surplus).
Suitable Fronius inverters
- Fronius GEN24
- Fronius Symo Hybrid
- Fronius SnapINverter (except light versions)
- Fronius IG*
- Fronius IG Plus*
- Fronius IG TL**
- Fronius CL*
*Requirement:
- Fronius Smart Meter
- Fronius Datamanager 2.0 (item number 4,240,036,z), or
- Fronius Datamanager Box 2.0 (item number 4,240,125)
**Requirement:
- Fronius Datamanager Box 2.0 (item number 4,240,125)
Suitable generators from third-party manufacturers
Suitable generators can be, for example, inverters or wind power plants. A prerequisite
for compatibility with external generators is that no other self-consumption controllers
(with e.g. battery, Power-2-Heat) are operated in parallel. This can lead to PV optimisation malfunctions. The proportion of energy consumed by other loads is not taken into
account in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app, as the power is only known at the grid connection point.
