AC-couple Victron Quattro systems

Hello,


Can the Victron Quattro be used as a Grid Following device? In other words, can we AC-couple Victron Quattro systems with one system being Grid Forming, and the other Grid following?

Yes, you can but it is not officially supported.
It is also difficult to get the victron inverters to properly respond to frequency shift control of the grid forming inverter.

I have blog post about my system and how I did it.

I am happy to help you if this is something you are actually building.

Thank you @shaneyake

Great presentation in your blog post.
After some consideration, we decided to keep it conventional for now
