The FRONIUS Primo GEN24 3kW Hybrid Inverter is a transformerless, single-phase grid connection inverter.
Characteristics of the FRONIUS Primo GEN24 3kW Hybrid Inverter
First, the FRONIUS Primo GEN24 3kW Hybrid Inverter is a grid connection inverter with 3kW single-phase output power, which does not have a transformer and has a series of extra features compared to the normal Primo single-phase range.
This new generation of Fronius GEN24 includes new technical features developed with the most cutting-edge technology on the market for direct self-consumption installations, both with storage and without it. The following stand out among the technical characteristics:
Controlled active cooling: This system has forced ventilation to provide a longer useful life to the elements. It has IP66 protection, which allows installation both indoors and outdoors.
PV Point: integrated function inside the inverter and it is an emergency power. At the moment in which any interruption of the electrical supply occurs, the inverter is capable of generating output of up to 3kW in single phase, even without the need to have batteries installed.
Total Backup Energy: by combining the inverter with a storage system, it will be able to supply emergency energy for single-phase consumption through the battery, with a time variation of less than 90 seconds.
This produces a high autonomy and flexibility in situations in which there is a power outage. To make use of this function, it is necessary to uncouple ourselves from the network by means of contactors, thus preventing the Fronius from working in parallel with the electrical network and there being voltage on the line upstream of the meter.

– Weight: 16.6Kg.
– Protection: IP66.
– Overvoltage category (DC / AC): 2 / 3.
– Ambient temperature range: -40 to +60oC.
– Maximum altitude: up to 4000m.
It should be noted that the entire family of Fronius Primo GEN24 hybrid inverters has communications (datalogger and server), with the aim of being able to track the start-up and monitoring of the plant. It also has 2 RS485 connections in order to be able to communicate with the Smart Meter wattmeter.
Likewise, the FRONIUS Primo GEN24 4.6kW Hybrid Inverter has a very high efficiency, the European efficiency of 97%, reaching its maximum efficiency, reaching 97.4%.
The commissioning of the Fronius system is very simple, as it is for the rest of the Fronius product. This is thanks to the solar.start tool. The Fronius solar.web application has monitoring and analysis tools to access and control the operation of the plant.
Applications and features of the FRONIUS Primo GEN24 4.6kW Hybrid Inverter
In terms of applications, the FRONIUS Primo GEN24 4.6kW Hybrid Grid Connection Single-Phase Inverter incorporates 2 MPPT or maximum PowerPoint trackers, which provides a lot of versatility to be able to distribute the panels in 2 different orientations or inclinations, for example in a gabled roof, or in 2 series of different electrical characteristics.
This type of inverter is one of the most efficient and, therefore, can provide more electricity to your installation. This is thanks to Dynamic Peak Manager technology, which has a shadow tolerance sensor. Thanks to this, sometimes power optimizers are not necessary, although Fronius inverters are compatible with some models on the market.
Grid connection installations are the most profitable in the long term, given the drastic reduction in billing to the electricity company and the long life of the components of these systems.
This type of installation can be carried out with the FRONIUS Primo GEN24 3kW Hybrid Inverter, once connected to the grid, you only have to decide if you want to include batteries for self-consumption, which store the excess solar production.
In this way, the investment is maximized, since only the electricity grid is used to obtain the energy that cannot be covered with solar production or with that stored in the batteries. If we incorporate a battery, we can decide that it is only recharged with the solar production that we are not consuming, storing that energy so that the inverter can take advantage of it at times of lower production or at night.
