Product details
Symo GEN24 SC
Symo GEN24 SC is a series of photovoltaic inverters with power ratings of 3–12 kW, equipped with the basic PV Point backup power function. Open interfaces enable integration of components from Fronius and other manufacturers, while energy management functions help control system operation. Active cooling extends the inverter’s service life.
Key benefits of Symo GEN24 SC
- PV Point backup power – basic backup power function integrated into the inverter.
- Two maximum power point trackers – the usable MPP voltage range is 80–800 V.
- High efficiency – maximum efficiency is 98.1–98.3%, depending on the model.
- Communication and energy management – WLAN, two Ethernet LAN ports, Fronius Solar.web support, and an integrated data logger and web server.
- Indoor and outdoor installation – IP66 protection rating and an ambient temperature range from −25 to +60 °C.
- Option for future expansion – the Fronius UP.storage software update enables battery support and the Full Backup function on the device.
Who is this a good choice for?
Symo GEN24 SC is an option for photovoltaic system owners who need basic PV Point backup power and access to data and energy management functions. It is also suitable for users planning to postpone their decision on energy storage, thanks to the option to extend its functionality through Fronius UP.storage.
