Pre-Energisation Checks
0 / 9
Verify DC string fuses and DC isolator installed — confirm rating matches string short-circuit current
Check polarity on each string with clamp meter before connecting — confirm positive/negative correct
Verify DC cable sizing — minimum 4mm² for string currents up to 15A
Confirm AC isolator installed within 3m of inverter (AS/NZS 5033 cl. 4.3.4)
Verify MCB and RCD protection at switchboard — MCB rated correctly for inverter AC output
Check inverter mounting clearances — 300mm top, 200mm sides, 100mm bottom
Confirm frame earth connected — green/yellow conductor to earth bar at switchboard
Check all DC terminal torques to Fronius spec — Primo: DC 1.8 Nm, AC 2.2 Nm
Inspect AC and DC wiring for damage, chafing, or unsupported runs
First Power-Up
0 / 5
Enable AC isolator at switchboard
Enable DC isolator on inverter — left-side rotary switch, turn clockwise to ON
Wait 60–90 seconds for inverter to initialise — do not touch controls during startup
Confirm status: green LED = starting, flashing green = checking grid, solid green = generating
If fault code appears on display, note the code and check error code table below before proceeding
Inverter Configuration
0 / 10
Connect phone/tablet to inverter WiFi — SSID 'FRONIUS_XXXXXXXX' (label on inverter side panel)
Open browser → navigate to 192.168.250.181
Run Setup Wizard: Settings → Setup Wizard
Set country/grid standard: Australia → AS4777.2 — do not select any other standard
Set export limit if required — confirm DNSP requirements before setting (options: 0W, 1.5kW, 5kW, unlimited)
Set correct timezone: Australia/Melbourne, Australia/Brisbane, Australia/Adelaide, etc.
Connect to customer's home/business WiFi: Settings → WLAN → scan and connect
Create or link Solar.web account: Settings → Solar.web → Activate
Set the Technician (installer) password — there is no factory default; record it in commissioning notes
Confirm inverter shows 'Feed-in' or 'Throttled' status on display before leaving
Testing & Sign-Off
0 / 8
Verify generation visible on Solar.web or local display — confirm DC voltage and power output reading
Test AC isolator: turn off, confirm inverter shuts down cleanly, re-enable, confirm restart
Record all system details: serial number, string config, array size (kWp), panel tilt and azimuth
Photograph inverter display showing operating mode and generation output
Photograph DC and AC isolators in installed position with labels visible
Photograph meter box showing meter type and DNSP labels
Complete commissioning certificate with all system details and sign
Show customer the Solar.web app and confirm they can see live generation
DNSP Notification
0 / 10
Identify customer's DNSP — check meter box for distributor label, or search by postcode on AEMO website
VIC — AusNet: B2B notification required before energisation for systems >5kW. Submit via AusNet portal
VIC — Jemena: submit DNES form or B2B notification via Jemena Connect portal
VIC — United Energy: complete notification form at unitedenergy.com.au/connections
NSW — Ausgrid / Endeavour / Essential Energy: complete connection agreement online at respective portal
QLD — Energex / Ergon: submit B2B service order — small systems (<10kW) auto-approved
SA — SA Power Networks: online notification required for all systems, submit before energisation
WA — Western Power: notification required, submit via Western Power's approved contractor portal
Confirm customer has bi-directional smart meter installed — if not, advise retailer to arrange meter upgrade
Provide customer with copy of commissioning certificate and Solar.web login details
⚠ Error Codes & Fault Fixes
102 AC voltage too high — grid voltage above AS4777 window at the terminals
→ Measure grid voltage at AC terminals; check volt rise on the AC run; contact DNSP if persistent
103 AC voltage too low — grid voltage below the AS4777 window
→ Measure grid voltage; check AC connections and upstream supply; contact DNSP if persistent
105 AC frequency out of range
→ Usually transient grid instability — monitor for 15 minutes; if persistent, contact the DNSP
107 No AC grid detected — inverter cannot see the grid
→ Check AC isolator fully ON, MCB at switchboard, AC cable connections at inverter
301 AC overcurrent
→ Check the AC-side wiring and connected load; restart — if it recurs, log a Fronius Solar.SOS case
302 DC overcurrent
→ Check string configuration against the inverter DC limits; verify no string mis-parallel
501 Inverter overtemperature — insufficient ventilation or ambient too high
→ Check mounting clearances are met; ensure inverter not in direct sun with no airflow; check fins are clear
1001 Insulation fault (GEN24) — low DC isolation resistance
→ Isolate DC strings one at a time to find the faulty string; inspect panels and DC cables for damage
475 / 502 Insulation fault — low DC isolation resistance (SnapINverter)
→ Isolate DC strings one at a time; inspect panels and DC cables. Installer support: (03) 8340 2910
567 Grid-voltage-dependent power reduction active (volt-watt response)
→ Not a fault — the inverter is throttling per AS4777.2. Persistent throttling = high grid voltage; check volt rise / notify DNSP
