Dynamic Peak Manager Enhanced MPP tracking algorithm that scans the entire I-V curve when searching for the optimal operating point. Enabling the Dynamic Peak Manager will help with shade management on PV systems.

SunSpec transmitter Symo Advanced inverters have attained UL-PVRSE listing as a transmitter. The inverter is also listed as a UL-PVRSS with APsystem’s RSD device (Rapid Shutdown). Note that the Symo Advanced is the first inverter on the market to receive the official SunSpec Rapid Shutdown certification.

Hinge and "snap" mounting and installation Simply mount the back plate in a vertical, tilted, or horizontal position onto a wall, pole, or racking structure. Then hinge the inverter onto the bracket and simply "snap" it into place.

208V AC versions The Symo Advanced 10 and 12kW models are available in 208 and 240 volt Delta, High-Leg, and WYE transformer outputs.

Power range

Many of today’s three-phase string inverters for commercial rooftop and carport systems have rated outputs in the range of 30-100 kW-AC. For DC arrays that are only 10-25 kW, this can lead to wasted inverter power. With larger inverters on crowded, complicated rooftops, PV systems could end up with fragmented arrays. Not a problem here! Because the Symo Advanced inverters range from 10 to 24 kW and come in 208V to 480V AC service types, installers have the flexibility to accommodate smaller three-phase rooftop projects and challenging design spaces for larger systems.

SUNSPEC PVRSE CERTIFIED

With an integrated power line communication (PLC) transmitter, based on the SunSpec Rapid Shutdown communication standard, all Symo Advanced inverters have attained UL-PVRSE listing as a transmitter. The inverter is also listed as a UL-PVRSS with APsystem’s RSD device (Rapid Shutdown). Note that the Symo Advanced is the first inverter on the market to receive the official SunSpec Rapid Shutdown certification.

NEC listing with APSmart

APsmart announces Fronius as the newest addition to its list of inverter manufacturers under its Photovoltaic Rapid Shutdown Systems (PVRSS) certification to the UL 1741 standard. The CSA has certified all six Fronius Symo Advanced models to be used with APsmart’s module level shutdown solutions.

For systems where NEC 2014 cannot be achieved, the Symo Advanced and APSmart partnership is the best solution.

Dynamic Peak Manager

The Fronius Dynamic Peak Manager (DPM) is an enhanced MPP tracking algorithm that scans the entire I-V curve when searching for the optimal operating point. By checking the entire characteristic curve on a regular basis, the DPM finds the global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) for partially shaded arrays. The Symo Advanced typically out performs DC optimizers and micro inverters. Thanks to the Dynamic Peak Manager feature this is even the case in most shaded conditions (see study linked below).

Field serviceability

At some point all electronic devices, especially those in harsh environments, will fail. So it’s important to be notified of the problem and likely solution(s) as well as having an easy to repair inverter. Fronius’ inverters and service tools are designed with this in mind.

The Solar.web monitoring platform (browser or app accessible) can provide system status notifications (text or email) and the Solar.SOS app provides instructions on how to resolve particular system problems. Finally, often only the failed portion of the inverter needs to be replaced rather than the whole unit. This can be done in the field to minimize system downtime and O&M labor.

the rooftop package

The commercial and industrial (C&I) space is one of the most challenging environments for solar installations. High ambient temperatures, high irradiance, obstructions, setbacks or pathways add to the complexity and cost of design, installation and operation & maintenance (O&M). However, the right inverter choice will help to overcome these challenges.

The Fronius Rooftop Package provides a comprehensive solution for commercial rooftops. The package centers around the lightweight Fronius Symo Advanced 24.0, the Fronius Shade cover and Fronius MC4 connectors. The combination of these 3 products creates a flexible, durable and easy to install system.

FLEXIBLE

The lightweight Fronius Symo Advanced 24.0 inverter allows for mounting at any angle from vertical to completely flat. The 24 kW size facilitates both optimal inverter distribution and string length for space limited commercial roof tops. Simply connect the DC wires through MC4 connectors and eliminate multiple installation steps, such as wire management inside the inverter, installation and sealing of conduits, or pull tests of torqued conductors. Using a Fronius Shade Cover allows you to place the inverter in direct sunlight, or directly next to the array.

LOWER COST

The collective design approach of the solution applies to both inverter and system design to provide a high reliability, right features, and right size, resulting in best return on investment for both installers and system owners. Low labor requirements, design flexibility, and the Fronius O&M advantages of this truly field serviceable inverter combine to provide best Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

RAPID SHUTDOWN

All Fronius Symo Advanced inverters have an integrated Power Line Communications (PLC) transmitter that is certified to the SunSpec Communication Signal for Rapid Shutdown. This open industry standard reduces installation and interconnection costs with Plug-and-Play system components from various vendors – allowing for customer choice and interoperability.

Fronius Symo Shade Cover

To ensure highest inverter performance throughout the lifetime of a system, Fronius offers a shade cover as part of the Fronius Rooftop Solution - keeping the inverter's temperature low and performance high even in sunny and high temperature mounting locations. The cover is simple and quick to install, taking just five minutes. Due to the increased energy production, the Fronius Shade Cover pays for itself. The Fronius Shade Cover can also be retrofitted to existing installations.

MC4 connectors

The MC4 Connector option for the Fronius Symo 24.0 simplifies the installation of the Fronius Symo inverter even further. By simply connecting the DC wires through MC4 connectors, multiple installation steps are eliminated, such as wire management inside the inverter, installation and sealing of conduits, or pull tests of torqued conductors. This not only reduces installation and commissioning time, which is crucial for bigger projects, but also simplifies ongoing preventive maintenance and improves technician safety.

Fronius MC4 Connectors

» As a string inverter leader we are striving for rooftop excellence and with the Fronius Rooftop Solution we take our offering for commercial rooftops even further. Customers have always asked for cost-effective installation options and a low-cost solution to protect the inverter from heat when installed next to the array. With the Fronius Rooftop Solution we provide a comprehensive solution for commercial rooftop applications while maintaining our high quality expectations. «

LOW VOLTAGE THREE-PHASE SOLUTIONS

Three-phase power is a three wire Alternating Current (AC) power circuit. Most US commercial buildings use a three-phase 4 Wire 208Y/120V power arrangement because of its power density and flexibility. Compared to single-phase, a three-phase power arrangement provides 1.732 (the square root of 3) times more power with the same current and provides (7) power circuits. *The reason why this voltage configuration remains the most popular in North America is because of its flexibility in handling different load capacities.
