FOX ESS Microinverters, Quattro and AC Coupling

Hi all,

Seems like Fox ESS gear is starting to make its way into South Africa, was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction of where I might be able to find out if their Micro Inverters might be able to be used for AC Coupling and a Micro grid? I've reached out to them directly but no response yet. So I thought I would also try from the Victron side.

The answer broadly applies, that it is not a supported brand. So Fox would be best placed to answer if they have tested this successfully.

Ultimately it depends on how responsive it is to frequency shifting, which is how the inverter controls the output.

On the wider topic of micro inverters, this is a good reference as well:
