Inverter – FRONIUS – Primo GEN24 5.0 Plus – single-phase – hybrid – HV
Product details
Primo GEN24/GEN24 Plus
Primo GEN24/GEN24 Plus is a series of transformerless Fronius photovoltaic inverters with power ratings of 3.0–6.0 kW, depending on the model. The GEN24 version offers integrated basic PV Point backup power, while the hybrid GEN24 Plus version allows connection of an energy storage system and a choice between PV Point and the Full Backup option. Open communication interfaces enable integration of Fronius components and devices from other manufacturers.
Key benefits of Primo GEN24/GEN24 Plus
- Backup power: PV Point as standard and the Full Backup option in the GEN24 Plus version, providing backup power for the entire home.
- Compatibility with energy storage: the GEN24 Plus version allows you to use stored energy at night as well and increase self-consumption of electricity.
- Two maximum power point tracking (MPP) systems: the DC input voltage range is 65–600 V, and the start-up voltage is 80 V.
- Open interfaces and energy management: integration of Fronius devices and third-party components allows the system to be tailored to individual needs.
- Active cooling: the integrated system extends the service life of the inverter.
- Indoor and outdoor installation: the IP66-rated enclosure measures 530 × 474 × 165 mm, and the inverter weighs 15.4 kg.
Who is this a good choice for?
The series is designed for homeowners who want to combine a photovoltaic system with basic PV Point emergency power. For users planning to store energy and use it at night, the GEN24 Plus version offers battery connectivity and the option of full backup power for the home. Open interfaces also meet the needs of those who want to combine devices from Fronius and other manufacturers in a single system.
