Can Victron communicate and control with the Fronius Tauro as it can with Primos, Symos and Ecos?
Also need answer on this. Would appreciate to hear if been tested/confirmed.....
The official statement from Fronius is that the Tauro is not approved in combination with Victron.
That’s mainly due to two reasons.
1. Flicker
2. Unable to test it thoroughly
Basically, the Tauro works with the Victron System as any Fronius inverter does.
But for now there has only been limited controlled testing possible. Some of these tests showed some flickering around the Victron zero-power point (PV equals load)
Until the software for bringing the flicker down to normal levels is available, we decided to officially not approve it.
As said, it works, but there are issues, so the risk of using the Tauro in combination with Victron is on the customers side.
As a further anecdote, there are large systems operating in the field without reporting issues as well.
Hi,
I have installed 6xQuattro15 and 2xTauro 50 and it is working perfectly.
1. flickering only occurs if more strings are added to the Tauro while it's inverting.
- solution to eliminate flickering, ensure all PV string are connected to the Tauro prior to AC connection. I had the flickering problem, did this and it was solved.
2. It responds to frequency shift and the setting is available.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
