[RE-wrenches] Fronius IG Plus 10.0-1 & Sunny Islands

2012-12-24 Thread Drake
Hello Wrenches, I have an inquiry from the owners of an existing system with a Fronius IG Plus 10.0-1 that is looking for backup power. Due to the output Fronius, I'm thinking the best solution would be to AC couple a pair of Sunny Islands to the Fronius. Has anyone tried this combination?

I have yet to install a Fronius IG Plus inverter. Looking through the manual I'm trying to determine whether each inverter in the line, between 3 and 12 kW, puts out three-phase power across all three poles, L1, L2 and L3 or whether all or some of these models put out power across just one or two
