Remote diplay for a Fronius IG TL 3.6

[Martin Dawes]

Anyone had any news on a Fronius IG TL display yet? They're dragging their feet aren't they?

Solar Log seems a little expensive. Anyone found any other options?

Hi,
I'm now having exactly the same problem. How did you get on with the monitoring device? Did you find one that worked well?

Fronius have a personal display for this inverter ready to hit the shelves. A matter of weeks I am told.

I may be a bit of an idiot but one of my customers has sent me the csv data from his Fronius inverter and I can't convert it to Excel to make it readable - can anyone help?

Yes ,they already have one but its very pricy and as BiggsSolar has said they are launching a new version sometime in August I was informed last month. No price though.

Have you downloaded the Fronius free software? The software is called "Fronius Solar Access" You can display Day,week,month peak output in bar form & graphical. The output information is stored on a USB dongle you plug into the Inverter.Unplug it any time & insert into your PC or Laptop.I hope this helps

I spoke to fronius today. They suggested it would be released in September. Asked them about price they referred me to the distributor. Asked the distributor (five letters) and they didn't no anything about release date or price (unsuprisingly). Asked them to chase it up to allow me to price for work and to their credit they did within 5 minutes. Outcome is they're not expecting it until late November. Price TBC.
Thanks for all your help in getting to the answer.

Hi SRE,
Have you got installed the Fronius Solar,Access free software package installed on your computer?.There is a new version available ,just Google "Fronius Solar Access Software" & download the appropriate package.
I gather your client has given you their USB dongle that they have had plugged into their Inverter for a period of time?.The software enables you to view a Days,Weeks etc generation which you should be able to print out.
I hope this helps.

Fronius advised that they were bringing out a new Remote Personal Display that is compatible with the IG-TL Inverters in October 2011. Has any one heard anything about this or even bought one as I would be interested to know how they attach to the IG-TL series based on it not having a PC-Card slot.

Fronius keep changing their story about when the new personal display will be released. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Fronius are just about to release an external personal display box. I heard it should have been out this month. All abit late if you ask me after the latest news for feed in tariff. So the only real options are a web conected monitor (expensive and probably not what your customer is expecting) or a universal display. The universal displays, though can be frustrating and not that accurate. The nicest I've seen so far is this one Solo Energy Display - GEO - Green Energy Options but we don't sell it. It works off the optical pulse of the TGM......looks rather nice too.

You could always use a Wattson. Just hope that it doesn't go wrong because their support is a joke.
