Mick,
I would look at the workings of the Schneider back-up control switch and
it's internal watt node. Recent webinar training. This will allow AC
coupled power to show on Insight. I am not advocating it though,
certainly not for offgrid.

Hi, Team and >>gosh<< I must apologize to
connell.christop...@fronius.com and to Fronius.
I'm sorry that I inadvertently fueled an untrue rumor about Fronius
USA. Chris, I should have tracked you down for the correct answer
before putting my question on the List. I will also correct this with
my Greentech branch manager on Monday, Heaven permitting.
I freaked out when my Greentech rep told me Fronius had left the
building but I'm glad I don't have to re-shop the string inverter
component after all. I did an AC coupled off grid project using Fronius
Symo in 2019: No Drama, No Trauma.
For those Wrenches who've wondered, "Why, Mick, why..." about off grid
AC coupling: most of the rooftops that need PV for my 2023 opportunity
will be inconvenient for running DC wires to the battery location.
These same rooftops, however, will have AC sub-panels close by, so I
had an "A-ha, negative loads!" moment. At least some of the PV will run
through a charge controller in any case. I think the wattage from any
AC coupled string inverters won't show up on Schneider Insight, so
that's another reason for me to heed those Wrenches who suggest DC
coupling for all of the PV.
Thanks to all who've contributed to this thread. I think the thread
should now extinguish & moderator Michael may wish to delete it from
the archives. I appreciate accessing the "hive mind" on various 2023 PV
inverters and again, Chris, I'm sorry to have caused a temporary smudge
on Fronius USA. The Wrench List is the Bomb!
