Fronius GEN24 and Datamanager 2.0

Part of the compatibility overview, which lists every selectable Mains type.

• A Fronius Smart Meter at the grid connection point is mandatory. On GEN24 the station checks the meter location and reports Meter is not located on 'grid' if the meter is in the feed-in path, and does not regulate.
• Datamanager 2.0 with several smart meters (from firmware 2.5.0): the station uses the meter at the grid connection point (location grid), also when further meters are installed, e.g. for an external generator. Generator and sub-meters are never read as grid power. If the grid meter is disabled or delivers no values, or if only generator or sub-meters are installed, the station reports an error in the mains status instead of reading another meter. Up to firmware 2.4.x the station reads the first meter in the list and may regulate on wrong values without an error.
• Datamanager 2.0 with only a meter in the consumption path (location load, from firmware 2.5.0): the station takes the grid power from the inverter's power flow data, so PV surplus charging works. The per-phase values still come from the meter and show the house consumption, not the grid exchange. Up to firmware 2.4.x the station reads the house consumption as grid draw, so PV surplus charging does not work.
• The Solar API must be enabled on the inverter (Communication → Solar API). Recent GEN24 firmware ships with it disabled.
• Verto and Verto Plus share the GEN24 platform and are configured as Fronius Gen24. Verto Plus is a hybrid inverter; its battery values are read.
• On a GEN24 without a battery, leave Battery priority disabled: the station reports a battery with 0 W and 0 % for this type.
• Datamanager 2.0 covers the SnapINverter generation (Symo, Primo, Galvo, Symo Hybrid). Battery values are available for the Symo Hybrid.
