Why Fronius?
1) Built for performance in real conditions
Fronius inverters are known for stable power output, robust thermal design, and dependable operation in hot or cold climates—key for rooftops, garages, and equipment rooms.
2) Installer-friendly design
Clear wiring compartments, straightforward commissioning, and modular components make installs and service quicker. Less time on site = lower labor cost.
3) Excellent monitoring & fleet tools
With Fronius monitoring, you get live production data, alerts, and historical analytics to fine-tune performance and spot issues early.
4) Proven brand support
A strong global footprint and long warranties give peace of mind for residential and commercial projects alike.
Fronius lineup: which one is right?
Residential (single-phase)
Primo series: The go-to for many home systems. A sweet spot for reliability, quiet operation, and everyday efficiency. Ideal for rooftops with well-matched strings.
Primo “hybrid/backup-ready” variants (region-dependent): For projects planning storage now or later, check availability of hybrid-capable models and required accessories.
Commercial & light industrial (three-phase)
Symo series: Three-phase workhorse for small to mid-size commercial arrays. Multiple MPPTs make it easier to handle complex roofs.
Tauro (C&I): Built for larger distributed-string systems where uptime, serviceability, and harsh-site durability matter.

Quick sizing tips (so you buy the right one)
Match DC to AC sensibly. A DC/AC ratio around 1.1–1.4 is common for rooftops (example: 6.0 kW of panels on a 5.0–5.5 kW inverter). This helps early-morning and late-day harvest.
Check string windows. Verify Voc at your coldest temp and Imp/Isc against the inverter MPPT limits.
Plan for roof complexity. If you have multiple tilt/azimuth sections, choose a model with multiple MPPTs and keep each string uniform.
Future battery? If storage is on the roadmap, confirm hybrid compatibility or plan for AC-coupled storage later.
Monitoring & operations
Fronius monitoring provides:
Live power and daily/weekly/monthly energy graphs
Email/app alerts for faults and performance dips
Installer fleet views: perfect for pros who maintain multiple sites
Ask us to bundle the right data interface (Ethernet/Wi-Fi/RS-485) and any current transformers (CTs) you’ll need for consumption monitoring or export limits.
Common use cases
Home solar (3–12 kW): A Primo with two MPPTs covers most rooftops; pair with black-on-black panels for a clean look and great curb appeal.
Small business (10–50 kW): Symo handles 3-phase services and mixed roof pitches efficiently.
C&I rooftops & carports (50–250+ kW): Tauro in distributed-string layouts delivers robust uptime with easier service access.

FAQs (for homeowners & installers)
Which Fronius inverter should I choose for a 7–8 kW rooftop?
Most homes in that range land on a Primo. We’ll confirm string layout, MPPT use, and DC/AC ratio so you get the best production.
Can I add batteries later?
Yes—either pick a hybrid-capable solution (where available) or plan an AC-coupled battery add-on. We’ll help you choose the cleanest path.
Do you stock accessories and RSD parts?
Yes. We carry rapid-shutdown gear, monitoring accessories, racking, wire, and disconnects to complete your BOM.
