Fronius comes out on top once again in Energy Storage Inspection

(Wels, 07/21/2021) Fronius achieved top results once more in the annual Energy Storage Inspection by the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW). First place went to the Primo GEN24 6.0. Plus for the 5 kWp reference case, while the Symo GEN24 10.0 Plus came in second for the 10 kWp reference case. Fronius was also the only inverter manufacturer to manage this with both products in energy efficiency class A.

The HTW Berlin Energy Storage Inspection is a study carried out annually, involving an industry-wide comparison of PV storage systems for private households by independent institutes. This year, 20 energy storage systems from 15 manufacturers competed against one another and were evaluated using the System Performance Index (SPI).

“We are pleased to achieve such an outstanding result in the Energy Storage Inspection again. This independent evaluation is a fantastic source of energy-efficient storage solutions for installers and end customers. It shows us that ongoing optimization of our products is paying off and is encouraging us to continue with this approach,” says Martin Hackl, Global Director of the Business Unit Solar Energy, Fronius International GmbH. “The high system efficiency means lower energy losses, which in turn leads to higher yields and the system paying for itself more quickly,” he continues.
