SwitchDin&#8217;s system, which includes the cloud-based management platform StormCloud, has been described as the &#8220;babel fish&#8221; of distributed energy resource management.<\/p>\n<p>SwitchDin&#8217;s tech offers advanced system monitoring, energy management and alert functions. It also addresses South Australia&#8217;s mandatory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-disconnect-explained-mb1792\/\"> Remote Disconnection and Reconnection<\/a> requirement, which has been in effect for new solar inverters connected to the grid since September 28 last year. Where SA has gone, other states may follow in order to address challenges relating to high amounts of locally generated and exported solar electricity in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>In October last year, Newcastle-based SwitchDin was announced the winner of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/switchdin-award-mb1736\/\">2020 Start Up Energy Transition (SET) Award<\/a>. Also in October 2020, SwitchDin was named a technology provider in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/flexible-solar-exports-mb1707\/\">trial\u00a0of flexible connection technology<\/a> in South Australia that involves enabling solar power systems to automatically adjust export limits based on network conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Is FIMER?<\/h2>\n<p>Italy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/fimer-review.html\"> FIMER<\/a> has been producing inverters for decades and states it is the fourth largest solar inverter supplier in the world.<\/p>\n<p>FIMER&#8217;s inverter focus was previously on utility-scale solar farms, but it entered the home and small commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/\">solar inverter<\/a> market with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-abb-acquisition-complete-mb1430\/\"> acquisition of ABB&#8217;s solar inverter business<\/a> just over a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>FIMER said yesterday its current range of inverters (UNO-DM-PLUS-Q, PVS-50\/60 and PVS-100\/120) have been integrated with SwitchDin, and its new three-phase range (PVS-10\/33) plus the REACT 2 hybrid inverter and energy storage solution will be tested for compatibility next month. For South Australian solar owners, there are no additional subscription costs for customers using these inverters with SwitchDin Droplets.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By partnering with SwitchDin, FIMER will be able to address emerging regulatory requirements and take advantage of new opportunities such as dynamic export limits, which allow solar system owners to avoid strict solar feed-in limits in favour of more flexible interaction with the distribution networks,&#8221; states FIMER.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Andrew Mears, CEO and Co-Founder of SwitchDin, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs a vendor-agnostic provider of energy management software, the addition of FIMER\u2019s inverters to our growing family of integrated devices is great news for anyone looking to tap into the grid of the future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the time of publishing, the FIMER inverters noted above were yet to be listed on that page as SwitchDin compatible devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inverter manufacturer FIMER has announced some of its solar inverter models have been integrated with Australian SwitchDin technology, with more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":48876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FIMER Announces SwitchDin Compatibility - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"FIMER has announced some of its solar inverter models have been integrated with Australian SwitchDin technology, with more to come.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-inverter-switchdin-mb1935\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FIMER Announces SwitchDin Compatibility\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"FIMER has announced some of its solar inverter models have been integrated with Australian SwitchDin technology, with more to come.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-inverter-switchdin-mb1935\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-03-29T20:37:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-05T02:25:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fimer-inverters-switchdin.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-inverter-switchdin-mb1935\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-inverter-switchdin-mb1935\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"FIMER Announces SwitchDin Compatibility\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-03-29T20:37:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-05T02:25:58+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-inverter-switchdin-mb1935\/\"},\"wordCount\":439,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fimer-inverter-switchdin-mb1935\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fimer-inverters-switchdin.png\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
