PV Monitoring
Posted: Fri Nov 15, 2024 2:00 pm
Hi
I have a Fox AC1-5.0-E inverter with 6 x HV2600 v1 batteries. It was installed in July 2022. I also have a Fronius IG15 with 7 panels installed in 2010. I can monitor the PV generation via the Fronius website, but it would be much more convenient if I could see the PV generation in the FoxEXX Cloud app. I generally use the website, but sometimes use either Energy Stats or the Fox app. The manual for the inverter says "If there is another generator in the home, Meter2 or CT2 can be used to record the power generated by the generator and transmit the data to the website for monitoring". I presume I can simply connect a cable from an additional CT clamp to pins 5 and 6 in the connector, or use an unused pair in the cable to the existing CT clamp? Do I need to power off the inverter in order to make this connection or can I do so with the power on?
