Inverter – FRONIUS – Symo GEN24 5.0 Plus – hybrid – HV
Product details
Symo GEN24
Symo GEN24 is a series of Fronius photovoltaic inverters rated at 3–10 kW, equipped with the integrated PV Point basic backup power function. Open communication interfaces enable the integration of components from Fronius and third-party suppliers, while energy management functions help save time and costs. Built-in active cooling extends the device’s service life.
Key benefits of Symo GEN24
- PV Point backup power – integrated basic backup power function.
- Maximum efficiency 98.1–98.2% and European efficiency of 96.7–97.9%, depending on the model.
- Two maximum power point tracking (MPP) systems – the usable MPP voltage range is 80–800 V, and the start-up voltage is 80 V.
- Open communication interfaces – WLAN, two Ethernet LAN ports and two RS485 interfaces; support for Fronius Solar.web, Modbus TCP SunSpec and Fronius Solar API.
- IP66 protection rating and active cooling – suitable for indoor and outdoor installation, with an ambient temperature range from −25 to +60°C.
- Option to connect an energy storage system later thanks to the Fronius UP.storage software update, available in selected countries through the Fronius online store.
Who is this a good choice for?
Symo GEN24 is an option for homeowners who want to use a photovoltaic system with basic PV Point backup power. The series also meets the needs of users planning to integrate components from Fronius or third-party suppliers, as well as those who want to postpone the decision to connect an energy storage system, subject to the availability of the Fronius UP.storage upgrade in their country.
