 This is a very easy setup. The Fronius Setup Microgrid has been developed in close cooperation with Victron. During commissioning, set the PV Inverter to Setup MG50 (or Setup MG60 for 60 Hz systems). Everything is then pre-configured. The Setup MG settings match the default Victron Assistant settings.
-Compatible inverters are:
+**Compatible ROW inverters** (for "European type AC grid") are:
-  * Fronius Symo (3~, 3 kW up to 20 kW) -> Software //fro27140.upd// or higher

   * Fronius IG Plus V (1~, 2~, 3~, 2.5 kW up to 12 kW) -> from //IGF 5.0.66// on with settings according to the Victron recommendations
-For new systems the Symo and Eco inverters are recommended for 3~ applications. The Primo inverters are recommended for 1~ applications. Please note that all these inverters are transformerless and therefore PV-Modules that require pole-grounding (on the Plus or Minus pole) cannot be connected.

-The use of Fronius Galvo inverters is not recommended anymore for new applications - the Fronius Primo is the best substitute and offers higher efficiency, wider DC voltage range, two MPP trackers and many other features.

+  * Fronius Symo 10-24 480V (3~, 10 kW up to 24 kW) -> Software //fro27140.upd// or higher (see FAQ Q5!)

+For the UL inverters, some more Microgrid Setups are available (e.g. for connection with Neutral conductor or without). Also the UL inverters can be used in 60Hz as well as in 50Hz applications. More information can be found in the user manuals.
 When setting up a system, always update both the Fronius and the Victron devices to their latest firmware versions. For the latest Fronius firmware and information how to update use this link:

-===== 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.
