Fronius has released the Gen24 hybrid inverter, designed to support rooftop residential solar installations and home battery energy storage. The string inverter is widely used in the rooftop solar industry in Europe and has now been developed for installation in North America. The Gen24 comes in multiple sizes, including the Primo (single phase) and Symo (three phase) versions. The standard Gen24 model comes with integrated basic backup power functionality, while the Gen 24 Plus edition includes two backup power options and a battery connection. The inverter uses a Dynamic Peak Manager, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system that maximizes the yield of each solar panel under varied shading conditions across the array, reducing the need for DC optimizers under each panel. The hybrid inverters come with open interfaces to manage and integrate components like solar, batteries, backup loads and more.
