Fronius achieves top results at the annual Energy Storage Inspection
Fronius has received top results at the annual Energy Storage Inspection by the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW). First place went to the Primo GEN24 6.0. Plus for the 5kWp reference case, while the Symo GEN24 10.0 Plus came in second for the 10kWp reference case.
Fronius was also the only inverter manufacturer to manage this with both products in energy efficiency class A.

The HTW Berlin Energy Storage Inspection is a study carried out annually, involving an industry-wide comparison of PV storage systems for private households by independent institutes. This year, 20 energy storage systems from 15 manufacturers competed against one another and were evaluated using the System Performance Index (SPI).
“We are pleased to achieve such an outstanding result in the Energy Storage Inspection again. This independent evaluation is a fantastic source of energy-efficient storage solutions for installers and end customers. It shows us that ongoing optimization of our products is paying off and is encouraging us to continue with this approach,” Fronius global head of the business unit solar energy Martin Hackl says.
“The high system efficiency means lower energy losses, which in turn leads to higher yields and the system paying for itself more quickly.”
The Primo GEN24 6.0 Plus together with the BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS 7.7 achieved the highest SPI in the 5kWp reference case. At 92.2%, the hybrid inverter came in a whole percentage point ahead of the runner up. In the 10kWp reference case, the Symo GEN24 10.0 Plus with BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS 10.2 improved upon last year’s result by 0.6%, taking it to an SPI of 94.6%.
“Although we already came first last year, we looked closely at the optimisation potential and set about making it a reality,” Fronius product manager Susanne Lampl says.
“As a result, we came out on top once again and improved the performance. This is due to the high conversion efficiency, made possible by the use of silicon carbide (SiC), and also the excellent collaboration with BYD.”
