Hey I thought any publicity was good publicity ... well maybe not with government. There is a meeting planned sometime in November to discuss the whole program ... Not sure what the topics for discussion are, but I'm sure they won't be talking about raising the incentive
"Anyway, to the matter at hand: the Fronius does sound like it's keeping a record of what's being collected; for now we will believe what it says. The other meter, installed by the power company, is telling you what? Does it directly read 540 KWh or does it read something else? "
The meter is reading 000004
the multiplier on the meter is 120
The meter has read 4 for about a 12 days, and I estimated roughly that it could roll over to 5 in the next few days(8 kwh a day)
If the meter displays kiloWatt-hours, then the voltage doesn't matter much to its reading.
The meter reads in Kilowatt-hours. I just wanted to let you know that the system was commercial working at 600v and the use of transformers were needed, which do have some loss.
You're concerned about a fairly large loss; 174/714 = 25%
I thought 25% what pretty large considering the technical data I've read usually estimates 5% for residential(of course perfect lab conditions)

This is the link I just found. At the shop I'm sure they have a lot more info.
We have the 3000 model installed and its output is 240 v
I'm pretty sure it controls the grid connection and it goes into standby at night
I will try to find out some more info tomorrow .
Thanks for the response
