As you can see below that has made for a quality installation.<\/p>\n<p>The solar part of the system comprises of 40 x 255 Watt panels. A 45kVA diesel generator (which serves only as a backup to the grid supply) is also integrated into the system and controlled via the Victron Energy Quattros and Color Control GX.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioned in June 2016 this new system saves money when compared to the previous one as grid electricity prices have been rising at an average of 13% annually, from the local provider.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the unreliable and expensive local grid supply it is worth noting that during the Summer months the new system runs almost 90% independently from the grid &#8211; providing a robust solution with commensurate financial savings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-blogpost-content wp-image-7097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371-690x1226.jpg\" alt=\"Victron and Fronius\" width=\"690\" height=\"1226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371-690x1226.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371-730x1298.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/08\/Victron-and-Fronius_14402371.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>System Components<\/h3>\n<p>3 x\u00a0 10 kVA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/inverters-chargers\/quattro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victron Quattro\u00a0 Inverters<\/a> (three phase operation)<\/p>\n<p>12 x 200 Ah <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/batteries\/lithium-battery-12-8v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victron LiFePO4 batteries<\/a><\/p>\n<p>1 x <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/battery-management-systems\/ve-bus-bms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victron BMS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>1 x <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/panel-systems-remote-monitoring\/color-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victron Color Control GX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>1 x Fronius Symo 12.5-3-M<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion &amp; credits<\/h3>\n<p>No matter who the customer is (named or otherwise) there are clear benefits to integrating Fronius and Victron Energy products into grid backup and supplemental energy systems.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/contact#AndreduRand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andre du Rand<\/a> of Victron Energy and Paul Fried, CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kjion.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KJION Energy SA<\/a>, for making me aware of this project.<\/p>\n<p>John Rushworth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not often we&#8217;re unable to say who the customer is, but in this installation that will need to remain a secret.
