Fronius has released the GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter which will also be available in a Primo variant for single-phase markets.

Launching in power categories from 3 to 6kW, it aims to combine maximum yield, top flexibility and ease of use into one compact device. It also comes with online tools for simple commissioning, real-time system monitoring and 24/7 service support.

“The Primo GEN24 Plus is our first single-phase hybrid inverter and therefore another milestone on the path towards our vision of 24 hours of sun. Our aim was to develop a versatile and compact all-in-one inverter that takes into account all aspects of sustainability throughout the entire service life of the product,” Fronius global director of the business unit solar energy Martin Hackl says.

“The Primo has countless open interfaces for linking together the energy, storage, mobility, heating and cooling sectors. We’ve packed it full of future-proof technology to make it possible to get the most out of the photovoltaic system over the decades.”

Using solar power generated during the day at night increases the self-supply rate and can guarantee independence from the grid. Compatible with home storage units, it boasts a high charging and discharging power.

Another feature of the GEN24 Plus is the PV Point, a backup power socket which is the first of its kind to provide a basic backup power supply without a battery.

Parallel operation of the modular BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM in combination with the Primo GEN24 Plus enables a storage capacity of up to 57.96 kWh.
