-Used in Off-grid PV installs with a grid-tie PV inverter connected to the AC out of a Multi or Quattro.
-This Assistant will be idle when the Multi or Quattro is connected to mains.
-When the system is in inverter mode, this Assistant controls the output power of the grid-tie inverter by changing the AC output frequency of the system. It then regulates the charge process: preventing overcharging the batteries.
