Fronius Primo GEN24 8.0

The Fronius Primo GEN24 8.0 is a single-phase string inverter with 8kVA AC nominal power, designed for small to medium-sized PV generators in the residential and small commercial sector. With two MPP trackers, a maximum DC input voltage of 600V and 8.25kW DC nominal power, the device offers sufficient planning flexibility for differently configured string layouts. The inverter is designed for grid feed-in operation, but is structurally already prepared for later high-voltage hybrid use. Integrated communication interfaces, datalogger and web server enable a fully autonomous monitoring setup without external additional hardware. The compact design, active cooling concept and IP66 rating support robust wall installation even in more demanding environments.

• TechnologyThe Primo GEN24 8.0 operates as a single-phase string inverter with transformerless topology and two independently operating MPP trackers. This allows the parallel connection of generator surfaces with different orientations or partial shading. The maximum DC voltage of 600V and the DC nominal power of 8.25kW are matched to modern module types and enable efficient string lengths without operation at the limit. Active cooling ensures stable power output even at elevated ambient temperatures and contributes to protecting power electronic components.
  
  Electrical design
  • Two MPP trackers enable flexible string concepts and improve energy yield under heterogeneous generator conditions.
  • 600V DC input voltage supports compact string design with common PV modules.
  • 8kVA AC nominal power for single-phase grids in the residential and small commercial segment.
  • Active cooling stabilizes performance under thermal load and increases service life.
• ConnectivityThe inverter comes as standard with WLAN as well as two Ethernet interfaces and an integrated datalogger. This allows both local commissioning and continuous system operation without additional communication hardware. RS485 and USB enable the integration of meters, control components and service functions. The integrated web server functionality simplifies parameterization, monitoring and fault diagnosis directly via standard browsers in the local network.
  
  System integration
  • WLAN and dual Ethernet enable flexible network architectures in the project environment.
  • Integrated datalogger reduces external components and simplifies monitoring concepts.
  • RS485 interface for smart meters and energy management components.
  • Web server allows low-maintenance access without proprietary software.
• WarrantyThe Fronius Primo GEN24 8.0 is supplied with a two-year factory warranty. By online registration, the warranty can be extended free of charge to up to ten years. Optional warranty extensions of up to 20 years are available for projects with increased requirements regarding operational reliability. These conditions are particularly relevant for EPCs that need to calculate long-term service and maintenance concepts.
  
  Warranty options
  • 2 years factory warranty as standard scope.
  • Free extension to 10 years possible after registration.
  • Optional warranty extension up to 20 years for long-term projects.
  • Planning security for service and O&M concepts.
• SustainabilityFronius manufactures key components in Europe under controlled quality and environmental standards. The compact device design, the high efficiency of the power electronics and the modular upgrade strategy support a resource-efficient product life cycle. The option for functional retrofitting reduces the need for premature device replacement when expanding systems.
  
  Ecological aspects
  • European manufacturing with defined environmental and quality standards.
  • Retrofit concept extends the service life of existing hardware.
  • Compact design reduces material usage and transport effort.
  • Efficient power electronics minimize operating losses.
• QualityWith a weight of around 21kg, a robust housing and IP66 protection rating, the inverter is suitable for durable wall mounting even in technically exposed areas. Spring terminals simplify the DC and AC connection and reduce sources of error during installation. The active cooling concept and the proven Fronius platform support stable continuous operation.
  
  Build quality
  • IP66 housing reliably protects against dust and water jets.
  • Spring terminals enable fast and repeatable connection.
  • Compact dimensions facilitate installation and service access.
  • Active cooling supports consistent performance under load.
• ExpandabilityThe Primo GEN24 8.0 is prepared for later upgrading to a high-voltage hybrid inverter. Battery operation and full backup functionality can be added via Fronius UP.storage. In addition, PV Point hardware can be integrated to provide an emergency power socket even without battery storage. This modular expandability increases long-term system flexibility.
  
  System expansion
  • Upgradeable to HV hybrid operation via Fronius UP.storage.
  • Optional full backup operation for emergency power scenarios.
  • PV Point integration for basic supply without storage.
  • Future-proof platform for step-by-step system expansion.
