Fronius Primo 5.0

Fronius Primo 5.0-1 · Fronius

Grid-tie, single-phase

Good to know

Turns panel power into household power and sends any surplus to the grid. It has no battery, so it switches off in a power cut or during load-shedding.
Output 5000 W (5000 VA).
Takes up to 7500 W of panels (up to 1000 V, 2 MPPT inputs).
NRS 097-2-1 (the South African grid code): not stated on the datasheet, so ask the seller. Municipalities generally ask for this certificate before you connect a system that can feed the grid.
Warranty: Not stated on the datasheet.
