Emergency This system is equipped with an emergency power function. This means a backup power power supply is automatically established in the event of a power outage. The emergency power sticker provided with the inverter must be attached to the electrical distributor.
Fronius Symo Hybrid Device concept Device design: Housing cover Inverter Mounting bracket Connection area including DC main switch Data communication area Data communication cover The hybrid inverter converts the direct current generated by the PV modules into alternating current. This alternating current is synchronized with the grid voltage and fed into the public grid.
Fronius Installing components that are not distributed or expressly approved by Fronius Operating the device with a battery that has not been approved by Fronius Operating the equipment with an energy meter that has not been approved by Fronius Fronius shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such action.
You only need to fill out a few details and confirm the registration. Who can register a device? The warranty agreement is concluded between Fronius and the warranty holder (owner of the installed system). For this reason, the system must be registered by the warranty holder using their Solar.web login credentials.

Where can I find the serial number for my product? The serial number can be found on the rating plate of the Fronius device. For the Solar Battery, only use the serial number shown in the picture. The serial numbers of the individual battery modules are not relevant.
Battery module (1.2 kWh usable capacity) With the market launch of its new Fronius Energy Package, Fronius is introducing an inverter that can be used to store energy. One of the key components is the Fronius Solar Battery, which contains a lithium-ion rechargeable cell. The Fronius Solar Battery supplements the Fronius hybrid inverter by adding storage func- tionality.
Observe the stipulations of the power supply company concerning energy fed in- to the grid and the operation of storage systems. Increase in stor- The storage capacity of the Fronius Solar Battery can also be increased after age capacity purchase to a maximum capacity of 9.6 kWh of usable energy.

If there are additional inverters in the system, these should be installed outside of the emergency power circuit, but within that for the Fronius Smart Meter, see Operating mode - Inverter plus battery, additional inverter and emergency power function on page 24.

Disable functions that would exceed the power limits in backup power mode: Set measuring of heating rod to manual on the Ohmpilot (under "General - General Settings - Heating 1 - Manual"). Disable the "Legionella prevention (h)" and "Adapt day curve" settings (under "General - General Settings - Heating 1").
When the battery is in energy saving mode, the display remains dark. In Sol- ar.web, energy saving mode is indicated by an "i" next to the battery symbol. In the energy balance view, the SOC (State of Charge) of the Fronius Solar Battery is not displayed for the duration of energy saving mode.
The battery is recharged to restore the minimum state of charge or to per- form a calibration. The Fronius Solar Battery is woken up as soon as the Symo Hybrid is generat- ing PV power. This guarantees reliable operation of the battery.
The following description of calibration charging is valid from version 1.4.1-12 of the Fronius system monitoring software. Conditions for One charge and discharge cycle of the Fronius Solar Battery corresponds to an starting the cal- energy throughput of 48 Ah per battery module. Calibration charging occurs cyc-...

Fronius expressly points out that third-party batteries are not Fronius products and that Fronius is not a trader or distributor of these batteries. This means that Fronius accepts no liability for these batteries and cannot offer any kind of war- ranty.

* Note for systems with backup power switchover with Fronius Symo Hybrid and BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM 8.3: If there is a power failure, there is no energy available from the PV system and the battery has a low state of charge (SOC typically < 20%), the system may no longer be able to switch to backup power mode.

IMPORTANT! To control the inverter via DRM, a Fronius DRM interface (item number 4,240,005) is required in the inverter. Installation is described in the Installation Instructions for the Fronius DRM interface. The Installation Instructions for the Fronius DRM interface are avail- able on the Fronius homepage at the following link: http://www.fronius.com/QR-link/4204102292...
The remote control capability of the inverter always relates to the nominal device output. IMPORTANT! If no DRM control (DRED) is connected to the Datamanager and the "AUS - Demand Response Mode (DRM)" function is activated, the inverter switches to standby mode. Energy storage The pin for activating the energy storage device can be selected here.

If the "permit battery charging from DNO grid" setting is activated, the calibra- tion charging process is performed by drawing a constant current from the photovoltaic system and the distribution network operator's grid.

Specifying the charging range It is possible to define a charging range with a min. and max. charging limit. In this case, it is not possible for the battery to discharge. Discharging Discharge / charge Charging limit limit Min. char- Max.
The battery control parameters make the generated energy as optimally usable tion as possible. However, situations may arise in which PV energy cannot be fully used due to battery control parameters. Example Fronius Symo Hybrid 3.0-S: 3000 W (max. output power) Fronius Solar Battery 7.5...
Page 110
In this case, the inverter would need to reduce the PV power to 0 W, as the out- put power of the Fronius Symo Hybrid 3.0-S is max. 3,000 W and the device is already fully utilised through the discharging.
Battery If a battery is connected to the Fronius hybrid inverter, it must be activated here. This setting can only be made when there is an active connection to a battery. If you are unable to make this setting, check whether the battery is switched on and whether the data connection has actually been established.
Page 112
If the function is activated, the inverter remains permanently connected to the grid so that energy can be drawn from other producers at any time. Once the meter is connected, its position must be configured in the Fronius Datamanager. Several Fronius Smart Meters can be installed in the system. A different address needs to be set for each Smart Meter.
