Description
SnapINverter Technology
The SnapINverter generation features a simple, standardized mounting system across all models, significantly simplifying both installation and maintenance. A key feature of these devices is the separation of the connection area from the power module. The two parts are installed independently: first, the (extremely lightweight) connection unit with all wiring is mounted on the wall, followed by the power module. The innovative pivoting design makes installation and servicing much easier. The inverter is simply snapped into the wall bracket and then secured. In the event of a fault, there’s no need to remove the entire inverter—only the power module—without disturbing the wiring.
Integrated Data Communication
We offer a comprehensive data communication package with full integration of data logging, WLAN, Ethernet, energy management, a web server, and multiple interfaces. This enables the inverter to connect to the Internet via Ethernet cable or built-in WLAN (no additional cabling required), providing an optimal overview of the PV system’s operation. Connectivity with third-party components is ensured through interfaces such as Modbus TCP SunSpec, Modbus RTU SunSpec, or Fronius Solar API (JSON). These open interfaces can also be used in parallel with Fronius Solar.web.
Smart Grid Ready
Fronius inverters are future-proof and ready for tomorrow’s smart grids. They are equipped with a wide range of intelligent functions, known as “Advanced Grid Features,” designed to optimally regulate the supply of reactive and active power. These features ensure safe grid operation even in areas with high PV system density, preventing unwanted feed-in interruptions and associated yield losses. Fronius inverters ensure maximum PV system performance. Furthermore, they support dynamic feed-in regulation based on self-consumption when grid feed-in limits are imposed. Simply connect the meter and set the feed-in limit!
Dynamic Peak Manager
Dynamic Peak Manager is an innovative MPP tracking algorithm that dynamically adapts its behavior to find the optimal operating point. What makes this feature special is its regular automatic scanning of the entire voltage-current curve to detect the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP), even under partial shading conditions.
Zero Feed-In Supply
Grid operators in many countries increasingly require PV power feed-in limitations for grid connection. Fronius offers an optimal solution with dynamic power reduction. The inverter prioritizes supply to local household loads and then reduces the output to the maximum level allowed by the grid operator. With Fronius inverters, it’s even possible to achieve zero feed-in. This ensures that no PV power is fed into the grid, complying with the operator’s requirements via a simple web interface setting.
Mounting System
A distinctive feature of our devices is the separation between the connection unit and the power module. These components are installed independently: first, the connection unit with all cables is mounted to the wall, then the power module. In case of failure, only the power module needs to be replaced, preserving all settings and configurations.
Integrated WLAN Interface (Full Version)
At Fronius, we believe simple monitoring is essential. With the Fronius Datamanager, we were the first inverter manufacturer to offer a built-in WLAN interface. This allows the inverter to connect to the internet without additional cables, giving you a clear and comprehensive overview of your PV system’s performance.
Smart Grid Ready (Repeated Section)
Fronius inverters are optimally equipped to meet future grid requirements. A range of intelligent functions—known as “Advanced Grid Features”—are built into the device, including controls for optimal injection of reactive and active power. These features are designed to ensure stable grid operation even with high PV density and to prevent undesired feed-in interruptions and associated performance losses.
