Inverter – FRONIUS – Primo GEN24 3.6 Plus – single-phase – hybrid – HV
Product details
Primo GEN24
Primo GEN24 is a series of transformerless Fronius photovoltaic inverters with power ratings of 3–6 kW. The integrated PV Point function provides basic backup power, while open communication interfaces enable the integration of Fronius components and devices from other manufacturers. Active cooling helps extend the inverter’s service life.
Key benefits of Primo GEN24
- Integrated PV Point – basic backup power function.
- Maximum efficiency 97.6% and European efficiency of 96.8–97.2%, depending on the model.
- Two maximum power point tracking (MPP) systems and a DC input voltage range of 65–600 V.
- Communication and energy management – WLAN, two Ethernet LAN ports, Fronius Solar.web support and an integrated data logger and web server.
- Protection rating IP66 and the option of indoor and outdoor installation, at ambient temperatures from −40 to +60 °C.
- Integrated protection – DC insulation resistance measurement, DC disconnector, reverse polarity protection and WSD emergency shutdown switch.
Who is this a good choice for?
Primo GEN24 is an option for photovoltaic system owners who need basic PV Point backup power and energy management functions. Open communication interfaces meet the needs of users planning to integrate devices from Fronius and other manufacturers, while indoor or outdoor mounting options allow flexibility in choosing the inverter’s installation location.
