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). | No, the IG inverters cannot be made to work in a MicroGrid system.

- | Alternatively, | + | 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: |
- | To prevent this from happening again, check your configured float voltage: setting it lower will prevent the overvoltage condition from happening again. | ||
