    Reasons for the inverter becoming too hot include the ambient temperature being too high or inadequate heat dissipation (e.g. if it is installed in a switch cabinet without suitable heat dissipation). IMPORTANT! The Fronius Solar Battery is only to be switched on when the inverter is in Standby mode.
  • Page 16: Proper Use

    Proper use The solar inverter is exclusively intended for charging a Fronius Solar Battery with direct current from solar modules or for converting this direct current into alternating current and feeding it into the public grid. The following actions constitute improper use:...
  • Page 17: Fronius Solar Battery

    With the market launch of its new Fronius Energy Package, Fronius is introducing an in- verter that can be used to store energy. One of the key components is the Fronius Solar Battery, which contains a lithium-ion rechargeable cell. The Fronius Solar Battery supple- ments the Fronius Symo Hybrid by adding storage functionality as well.

  • Page 20: The Various Operating Modes

    In “Emergency power” mode, the PV system op- erates as a stand-alone island. The PV system can also be disconnected from the grid manually. Grid Operating mode: The Fronius Symo Hybrid can be used purely as an inverter without a battery connected Inverter to it.
  • Page 21: Operating Mode: Inverter Plus Battery

    To maximise self-consumption of the energy provided by your PV system, you can use a Inverter plus bat- Fronius Solar Battery to act as a storage system. The Fronius Solar Battery is connected tery to the inverter on the DC side. As a result, there is no need for multiple current conversion processes, leading to greater efficiency.
