Maximum flexibility up to 20 kW – the Fronius Symo product range is complete

Following the successful gradual introduction of the Fronius Symo power categories up to 8.2 kW, the final stage of the expansion is now imminent. From the end of May 2014, five additional inverters in the 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 and 20.0 kW power categories will complete the range and widen the application possibilities of the Fronius Symo inverter from single-family homes to field installations. New generation of inverters with SnapINverter technology The SnapINverter installation system is used for both the Fronius Galvo and Fronius Symo, enabling installation and servicing to be performed with ease. After fitting the wall bracket and cabling for the device, the inverter is placed in the wall bracket before being moved into position and secured. As it is light in weight and compact in size, the Fronius Symo series is easy to handle during installation. SuperFlex design The SuperFlex design of the Fronius Symo combines all the system design requirements into a single inverter form. The high system voltage of up to 1,000 V and the wide input voltage range (from 150 to 800 V) ensure maximum flexibility in system design across the entire power range. Challenges such as varying roof pitches and one or two strings being in the shade are no longer an issue thanks to the integration of two MPP trackers and the freedom of unrestricted outdoor use*. Every roof surface can be used to its full potential. Dynamic Peak Manager The Dynamic Peak Manager is a new MPP tracking algorithm, which dynamically adapts its behaviour when searching for the optimal operating point. This allows the inverter to deliver the maximum output in all circumstances. A particularly impressive feature of the Dynamic Peak Manager is that it automatically checks the entire characteristic at regular intervals to ensure it can always find the maximum operating point, even when partially shaded. The two MPP trackers in the Fronius Symo work completely independently of each other, meaning guaranteed maximum power and yields, even under difficult conditions such as (partial) shade, foggy weather, module failure, etc. Communication An internet connection via WLAN or Ethernet, integrated data logging and interfaces to easily incorporate the device into third-party systems are all standard features of the Fronius Symo. The free Fronius Solar.web and corresponding Fronius Solar.web App online monitoring tools enable system operators to monitor their PV system yields at their own convenience. Smart Grid Ready The Advanced Grid Features (AGF) in the Fronius Symo include a range of functions that support reliable grid operation and facilitate simple control by the power supply companies. The AGFs in the Fronius Symo are preset depending on the country setup, but can be individually configured and adapted to suit specific local conditions. When new regulations on feeding energy into the grid come into force, these features can be enabled at any time. Future proof Innovative plug-in card technology ensures the devices are truly future-proof. Possible future challenges, such as an expansion of the energy management system, connection to building management systems or an arc detector, have already been taken into account.
