The FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter is an advanced device that allows us to have a network connection system.
Features of the FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter
The FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter is a 5kW output power, three-phase, transformerless grid-connected inverter with a number of additional features compared to the normal Symo three-phase range.
The generation of Fronius GEN24 Plus Inverters stands out thanks to the different functions that it has integrated such as energy management, WLAN connection, Ethernet connectivity and the easy integration of components from other manufacturers.
Among the most notable features are the following:
PV Point: It is an emergency power function integrated in the inverter itself. In the event of a power outage, the FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter can automatically generate an 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.
Controlled active cooling: Through a dissipation system that has forced ventilation, we will have a longer useful life of the components. In addition, we will have IP66 protection that will allow us to install it both indoors and outdoors.

The entire range of Fronius Symo GEN24 Hybrid Inverters incorporates communications, datalogger and web server for plant start-up and monitoring. It incorporates 2 RS485 connections for communication with the Smart Meter wattmeter, the battery and the Fronius Ohmpilot device.
The efficiency of the FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter is very high, hence its European efficiency of 97.5%, with a maximum efficiency of 98.2%.
Added to all this, we will have a simple start-up of the system, as is the case with the rest of the Fronius models. Through the new solar.start tool, we will be able to carry out a quick commissioning of the system.
The sun application. Fronius Web integrates all the analysis and monitoring tools to be able to control the operation of our photovoltaic plant.
Applications and features of the FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter:
The FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter is a three-phase grid connection inverter. Due to the fact that all the models of the GEN24 range incorporate 2 MPPT or maximum PowerPoint trackers, we will have the great versatility of being able to distribute the panels in 2 different orientations or inclinations, as in a gabled roof, or in 2 series of different electrical characteristics.
Thanks to its flexible design, and Dynamic Peak Manager technology, its MPP tracking algorithm has tolerance for shadow areas, giving it great performance. Thanks to this, sometimes power optimizers are not necessary, although Fronius inverters are compatible with some models on the market.
The FRONIUS Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus Hybrid Inverter is an inverter that allows us to interconnect with the electricity grid and decide if we 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.
For this reason, this type of installation is 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.
