 To make sure that the Fronius PV inverter works well with Victron inverter/chargers, both must be configured with the right 'frequency shift settings':
   * The Fronius PV Inverter must be set to Setup MG, short for Micro-Grid.
-  * The Victron inverter/charger must be loaded with either the PV Inverter support Assistant or the Hub-2 v3 Assistant.
+  * For off-grid systems, load the Multi or Quattro with the PV Inverter support Assistant
+  * For on-grid / energy-storage systems, load the Multi or Quattro with the ESS Assistant. Read information about ESS in the [[ess:design-installation-manual|]].
-And the [[ac_coupling:start|1:1 rule]] must be adhered to.

-===== Frequently asked questions =====
+===== Zero Feed-in =====
-=== Why doesn't the frequency settings in the Multi and the Fronius need to be the same? ===
+It is possible to make a Zero feed-in system with Victron & Fronius. The Venus device will the control the Fronius output power. See the [[ess:design-installation-manual|ESS manual]], chapter 4.3.11 Fronius Zero feed-in for details.
+===== Frequently Asked Questions =====
+==== Q1 Why doesn't the frequency settings in the Multi and the Fronius need to be the same? ====
 The first two frequencies do not need to be the same since the Multi actively regulates.
-=== I have an Fronius IG inverter (not Plus), can that work? ===
+==== Q2 I have an Fronius IG inverter (not Plus), can that work? ====
 No, the IG inverters cannot be made to work in a MicroGrid system. The appropriate substitute for an IG 30 is the GALVO 2.5-1 or an IG Plus 25V-1 (depending on the desired DC voltage range).
+==== Q3 The system is locked to 53 Hz and does not resume ====
+See [[:assistants:pv-inverter-support#q1_the_system_is_locked_to_53_hz_and_does_not_resume|here]].
+==== Q4 Can I use the Fronius Smart Meter? ====
+That depends on the type of system and software configuration.
+A Fronius Smart Meter can be used in these two situations:
+  - when used only for reporting to Solarweb
+  - when used for limiting export, in a system where the Victron system is not configured as an ESS system.
+The Fronius Smart-Meter can not be used for the Fronius built-in export limiting feature when part of a Victron ESS system. Instead, use the Victron ESS Fronius Zero-feed in feature, see chapter 4.3.11, Fronius Zero Feed-in, in the [[ess:design-installation-manual|ESS manual]].
+==== Q5 How can I get the Fronius firmware that improves flickering? ====
+Fronius has a special firmware available, on request, that fixes light flickering issues that occur on certain installations under certain circumstances.
+For Fronius PV inverters produced after 2018-week 16, contain the flicker-fix already straight from production.
+To update earlier and/or already installed PV Inverters, contact Fronius Tech Support for the file. The required file is fro29130.upd. Which works for all snap-inverter models (Primo, Symo and Eco). There is no, and will be no, fix available for Fronius Galvos.
