Tesla inverter capable of frequency shift to reduce output? Or only on/off?

[Bitslizer]

Is the Tesla inverter capable of reducing generation as the line frequency rise? Or are they purely on/off for generation?

My two Tesla inverters are able to modulate their output based on power frequency.

Do you know how high the frequency goes?

Mine was going up to 65hz. I had to call Tesla and have them change it to 62.5hz as it was causing problems with my UPS.

So at 62.5 it was still enough to modulate the generation without totally shutting off?

Yep, got them to change mine too and works fine

I believe this functionality is required under Rule 21 which is mandatory in CA => all newer (mid-2017) US inverters should have it.
