Product Description

This is the popular Primo 5.0-1 208/240 Solar Inverter by Fronius. The Fronius Primo inverter series has been specially developed for the demands of the North American market. This single-phase, transformerless device is the perfect inverter for private households. Its innovative SuperFlex Design provides maximum flexibility in system design, while the SnapINverter mounting system makes installation and maintenance as easy as possible.

This is the 'Advanced' model, offering both Data Manager communication package and AFCI (Arc Fault) protection. The Data Manager allows WLAN connectivity, energy management, several interfaces and much more. Fronius Primo is a communicative inverter for home owners.

We no longer offer the 'Lite' model which featured Arc Fault protection, but not the Data Manager functionality.

Fronius inverters are efficient and reliable and form the indispensable heart of every photovoltaic system. Power categories ranging from 1.5 to 27.0 kW guarantee suitability for virtually any system size – from a family home to a large-scale system.
