Fronius Single Phase Hybrid Inverter Makes Indian Debut

From March 2021, the Fronius GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter will also be available in a Primo variant for single-phase markets. It will be launched in power categories from 3.0 – 6.0 kW and combines maximum yield, top flexibility and ease of use in a compact and stylish high-tech device. The inverter uses online tools for simple commissioning, real-time system monitoring and 24/7 service support via smartphone or tablet. Fronius has done well to emerge as a leading inverter supplier in India .

The hybrid inverter comes at a time when plain vanilla grid connected solar inverters is being supplemented with  storage plus options, creating a market and a case for more versatile hybrid inverters.

“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,” says Martin Hackl, Global Director of the Business Unit Solar Energy at Fronius International GmbH “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.”

The storage system and backup power supply in the GEn24 Plus is touted as the major value addition for the inverter.

Using solar power that was generated during the day at night increases the self-supply rate and guarantees independence from the grid. The Primo GEN24 Plus is compatible with home storage units and claims impressively high charging and discharging power. It ensures maximum energy output with its modern Multi Flow Technology that intelligently controls simultaneous energy flows. It also offers flexibility as far as the photovoltaic system being equipped with a storage system from the start or at a later date; everything required for this is already there in the inverter.

A new feature of the GEN24 Plus is the PV Point – a backup power socket. It is the first of its kind to provide a basic backup power supply without a battery. This can be used to operate vital loads such as laptops, smartphones or small freezers. A thoughtful and vital add on that will clearly be appreciated.
