The next generation of three-phase solar inverters available in Australia have become an even more attractive investment.
“The Fronius Symo is our flagship series for 2014. It epitomises our Fronius Smart Energy approach of helping our customers realise optimised sustainable energy investments through our innovative and reliable products and services,” says Adrian Noronho, Sales and Marketing Director at Fronius Australia.
“The Fronius Symo will provide unprecedented value to our customers – summed up in a few words it is smarter, lighter, and more flexible.”
The company says Fronius Symo is up to 46% lighter than comparable brands. For example, the 5kW Fronius Symo 5.0-3-M weighs just 19.9kg.
The Symo incorporates the SnapINverter concept – an innovative hinged design that allows for quick & easy installation. An additional DC isolator at the inverter is not required as one is integrated in the unit.
Featuring a wide input voltage range (150 to 800 V [1000 VOC]), two MPP trackers and high input current rating; the Symo can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Advanced Grid Features (AGF) of the solar inverter stabilises load on the grid in the event of a grid overload while ensuring yield levels are maintained.
Smart Grid Ready (SGR), Symo is based on a flexible platform for compatibility with future system requirements; such as hybrid solar storage.
Its Energy Management Relay feature can direct power to household appliances; turning them on and off automatically, which conveniently optimises self-consumption. An integrated WLAN data manager allows system owners to easily monitor production and consumption.
Qualified Fronius Service Partners can perform on-site service and repair of the Symo in just one trip; ensuring maximum system uptime.
To support the launch into Australia, Fronius will be offering a 5+5 year warranty for all Fronius Symo 10 – 20kW units installed from June 1st up to December 31st 2014*.
In addition, Fronius will offer a Commissioning Validation Package* and Fronius Proactive Service* (including remote diagnosis and on-site service by a Fronius Service Partner) for 12 months from commissioning for any system larger than 50kW.
Fronius Symo is available through Energy Matters’ sister company, Apollo Energy. Fronius Symo 3.0 – 8.2 kW solar inverters are shipping now, with larger inverters to follow shortly.
“Apollo Energy fully supports the launch of the Fronius Symo range of inverters and will exclusively offer a free weather station kit (sensor card, ambient temperature sensor, wind sensor) for the first 100 projects over 50kW that utilise Fronius Symo inverters,” says Apollo Energy.
Early release stock of the larger units in the Fronius Symo range is expected from late May and Apollo Energy anticipates it will sell quickly. For pricing and detailed availability, or to place a forward order, Apollo Energy can be contacted on 1300 855 484.
