GENERAL PV Point: The Fronius GEN24 PV Point / Opportunity Power (OP) function is a separate AC power output on the inverter that can provide single phase power during a grid outage. PV Point can source this power from the present solar power or stored power in the PV battery (a battery unit is not necessary for the operation of PV Point).
The functional diagram of the PV Point is shown in Figure 1: Figure 1: Schematic of the basic PV Point power supply of the Fronius GEN24 & GEN24 Plus series PV Point Advanced: The “PV Point Advanced” solution uses the existing PV Point function with a 3 party changeover relay allowing backup loads to be powered by the grid until a blackout occurs.
• done. System Components The following component groups are required as part of the system: For PV Point you only require a Fronius inverter: Fronius Primo/Symo GEN24 or GEN24 Plus − IMPORTANT: Remember to update your inverter with the latest firmware available prior to operating this feature.
GEN24 series with the outputs is shown in Figure 2: Figure 2: Inverter underside of the Fronius GEN24 & GEN24 Plus series with the four predefined outputs (11). The first step is to drill a hole through one of the four outlets on the base shell. We recommend using a step drill (M16 / 16 mm diameter) for this.:...
No special tools are required to install the PV Point and no ferrules need to be fitted to the cables. Fronius recommends the use of a copper cable with a cable cross-section of min. 1.5 mm² to max. 10 mm² for direct connection. Figure 5 shows the requirements for the cable Figure 5: Push-in spring clamp and cable requirements for installing the PV Point Application Guide –...
