What's inside the Fronius Primo residential solar inverter?

[@GerardsCorner]

I have had the Primo 5.0-1 installed now for one month and have had no issues. The WiFi connect is great and I can monitor it from home or elsewhere at any time. Great product so far.

[@AustinPetDetective]

Do you have an issue with fan noise ?. We have ours in the garage and on hot days the fan noise is quite noticeable ?

[@emmittjmuckles109]

Goodpresentation Katie and Lee, The revenue grade metering option is a specific inverter which has a specific part number. Not all Primo's are Revenue Grade Metering ready, but inverters with that feature must be requested specifically. The small pug in board Referred to @ 5:42 is an extension portion of the Power Stack PC board. RGM is an overall function, between hardware and Firmware.

Love that he got into the electronics level of the inverter.

[@MurrayWayper]

Thankyou for the detailed technical breakdown of the functions of circuits

[@vm667]

Thanks for the detailed explanations. Much Appreciated.

[@RixtronixLAB]

Nice information, thank you for sharing it with us, keep it up :)

Excellent video

Can you guys comment on anything about why a lot of roof top solar feeding into grid would cause the need for infrastructure upgrades on the grid.

[@listlessviewer153]

Because if the energy is going back to the grid then there needs to be infrastructure in order to deal with the increased load.

[@Swenser]

@@listlessviewer153 but the increased load is the cause of the problem not the solar panels that feed in the extra power. Without solar the extra load ( more houses, extra air cons etc) would still exist but the extra power would come from burning more coal. So solar is being blamed for more power demands? Seems unfair?

[@AustinPetDetective]

I find on hot days the fan or fans noise can be quite noticeable especially if inside the garage. Is there anything you can do about the Fan noise ?.

Girl: I am speaking the script Guy: I could talk for hours as I know the unit inside out.

[@wecare7020]

Hi friends please send me both cooling fan specifications thanks

What happened to the galvos?

[@martinonumero]

Hey, what kind of connection do you use to plug it into your grid?

[@dankollars4501]

I would like to tell everyone my experience with a Fronius inverter. Paying a premium, I thought I was getting a quality inverter with a 10-year warranty. After 2 years of use the inverter stopped working but I thought it will be ok, the inverter has a 10-year warranty. I called Fronius and they told me a code came up that one of my solar panels must have got wet and shorted to ground and fried the inverter or it’s a bad install and they don’t cover that. They told me I could test this by measuring voltage to ground and it should be no more than one volt to ground. I measured the voltage and only had one volt, so I did not have a solar panel shorting to ground. correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the purpose of a ground is to direct the current to ground so no one gets shocked? Before installing a new inverter, I had someone come out and inspect my system to make sure there was nothing wrong and they said they couldn’t find any problems. I installed another inverter and its been running great with my same solar array that Fronius told me was bad. Fronius does not honor their warranties. Don’t get screwed like I did, buy something else.

[@larryem523]

If there was a ground fault at the array, it is due to a bad installation or panel, neither of which are Fronius equipment. The inverter manufacturer should not be responsible for faults outside their control. If a technician poorly installs the inverter, e.g. allowing water ingress to the inverter, the inverter warranty is voided. This is true of nearly all electronic products. If you misuse/abuse it, or do not follow installation instructions, you void the warranty.

[@dankollars4501]

@@larryem523 i would agree with that but please explain to me how an inspection after the failure turned up no problems with my solar array. i have since put in a new inverter and i have not had any problems at all. i think your fronius uses excuses to not honor warranties.

[@JAKUB1972]

fronius symo...had a surge in a line ...... came with a fault 401 509 574 108 could you please what could be wrong and how much would be for part ?

[@matthewdower5383]

My brain hurts after watching this 🤯

[@MrPowercon]

Can these types of inverters handle inductive loads?

[@SolarPowerWorldOnline]

Yes, the Fronius Primo grid-tied inverter can handle inductive loads (power factor 0.85 -1). If there are further questions, you can contact Fronius Technical Support, they will be happy to help! [e-mail]

[@henriquetannus10]

They are grid connected inverters... They arent for load supply...

[@engineerirfan]

Nice

[@usmanumer9871]

this is very cheap and high quality products making company . i used once .

[@husainalkahtani3635]

Ok

[@leotheevinci]

Oh my goodness gracious! Why use those low quality popping capacitors, and noisy 30-40mm shrieking whining fans?

[@bobocrina2643]

The old school inverters with transformers lasts longer and less electronics.
