Adding an String inverter to my setup

Good day all,


I find the low voltages and lack of panel optimizers quite limiting in my Victron install. As a result, I would like to install an AC coupled pv string inverter after my victrons on the critical load side.

However all the reading I am doing talks about frequency shifting, which to my knowledge only works in off-grid mode, I am not off-grid but rather running ESS.

How do I go about adding a pv inverter with the grid functionality?

Frequency shifting also works in ESS, in some countries its illegal if it doesnt do that

Pv on critical loads is fine, just keep sure you follow the 1:1 rule

How would it frequency shift when its in theory still connected to the Grid?


The grid will be planted at 50.0hz ?

Also how does the monitoring portal then work? It will need to read some production value out of the PV string inverter?
