Fronius Symo Advanced 17.5-3-M missing

andreas-bulling opened this issue · comments

The above inverter is missing in the database - it's the last one missing from Fronius' latest "Advanced" series.

@andreas-bulling We build SAM's inverter library from the data in the "Grid Support Solar/Battery Inverters" list from the California Energy Commission. You can see the inverter list and download the Excel file we use to build the library here:

https://solarequipment.energy.ca.gov/Home/InvertersList

This list includes an inverter listed as "Fronius Symo 17.5-3 480 [480V]". The list does not have a 17.5 model listed as "Fronius Symo Advanced," which is why the SAM inverter library does not have an inverter named "Symo Advanced 17.5-3".

We build SAM's module and inverter libraries once a year with the release of each new version of the software. You can find the CEC Excel workbook and other files we use to build the libraries on GitHub. For example, the files we used to build the inverter library for SAM 2023.12.17 are here:

You can find contact information for the CEC solar equipment lists on their website:

Thanks a lot. I contacted them and requested to have this inverter added to their database. So hopefully it will eventually also end up in SAM
