Fronius has been writing commercial PV success stories for over 15 years. Tens of thousands of Fronius IG Plus, Eco & Symo systems are in use around the world and are favoured and valued by installers and end customers alike. Now this forward-looking company is launching its latest product for the commercial sector: the Fronius Tauro.
‘When we were developing the Tauro, it was particularly important for us to really address the needs of our customers, right down to the finest details. So, we spent some time visiting many of our customers, all around the world, to ask them about the challenges they face every day,’ explains Peter Schmidhuber, the product manager for the new inverter.
The world tour, undertaken by the Research & Development team, was more than worth it: ‘We returned with a long list of requirements and preferences. By incorporating these into the Tauro, we’ve developed a product that closes previous gaps and really adds value for our customers.’ The robust commercial inverter is suitable for unsheltered outdoor locations and designed for roof-mounted systems and field installations alike. And it is setting new standards.
‘The AC daisy chaining option was particularly important as our customers frequently said that they wanted to reduce BOS costs with the inverter. The ability to link the AC cables for several Tauro inverters directly in the device drastically reduces the number of required AC Combiner boxes, which in turn lowers costs,’ explains Johannes Starzinger, who has been part of the R&D team since the start.
