2 Requirement
Configure inverter to go off-grid and use genereator to supply power shortfall by syncing with the inverter. I cannot go off-grid without the generator synchronising with the inverter.
3 Problem
Generator does not sync with inverter. I will not be able go off-grid without the generator being able to provide power on those days where there is not enough solar radiation.

5 Observatiooooons
5.1 Last Sync Between Generator and Inverter
This table reflects that the generator did synchronize to the inverter a couple of times. I do not have a RVSC file from that time.
5.2 Generator Hz and Voltage
When measured with a multi-meter, the frequency is close to 50Hz and voltage is close to 230V.
5.3 Voltage at Inverter AC Input 2
Volts: 230
Hz: 50
5.4 ESS Optio are Still Displayed in Controls on VRM Dashboard
Despite no ESS Assistant being configured and / or loaded, it is still reflected in the Controls (from the VRM Dashboard), the ESS modes for Optimised Battery Life, Optimised Without Battery Life, Keep Batteries Charge, and External Control are displayed.
