Fronius IG Central Inverters

 

PV Central Inverters with a max. output power ranging from 24 - 40 kW

The Fronius IG central inverters are suitable for pv systems starting with an AC output power of 24 kW and work with a completely new system configuration. There is not only one power stack converting the electricity but also 9, 12 to 15 printed circuit boards that share the work, depending on the output class.
The reason for this is that it is well-known that the energy yield increases in part-load areas if smaller power stacks are operated at higher capacity. Therefore, every Fronius IG central inverter works with several smaller power stacks that switch on or off completely automatically depending on irradiance so that they can always deliver maximum power.

Fronius IG 300 / 400 / 500

These central inverters convert solar energy into high-quality electricity on a large scale. This Fronius development, just like all others, has also been based on four central parameters:

• Optimum user-friendliness
• Maximum efficiency
• Unconditional reliability
• Professional system monitoring

The new series not only successfully integrates these features but also demonstrates new, amazing characteristics. The intelligent inverter concept and the built-in features make the series lighter, smaller, easier to install and easier than ever to maintain.

Fronius CL

 


PV central inverter with Fronius MIX™ concept

The Fronius CL combines high-yield power electronics with the unique, modular system design of up to 15 identical power modules in the MIX™ concept. Maximum yield and the highest stability are the advantages of this sophisticated system. This makes the Fronius CL the optimal central inverter for PV systems of up to several hundred kilowatts. Other pluses include the exact MPP tracking of the module manager, the automatic transformer switching function and much more. This makes the Fronius CL an upscale multi-purpose device that guarantees continual high performance.

Available mid  2010

Fronius CL 36.0

The major advantages of the Fronius CL:

• Unique system design with the Fronius MIX™ concept
• High-yield power electronics
• Intelligent cooling
• Simple planning and easy installation
• Comprehensive system monitoring

 

Overview

Unique system design with the Fronius MIX™ concept
Nine power modules operate in the Fronius CL 36.0 accomplishing something great together. This combination of several power modules has many advantages: maximum earnings in partial load ranges, high system stability, long service life and easy servicing.


Highest partial load efficiency.
Nine identical power modules divide up the work in the MIX™ concept. The individual power racks are turned off and on automatically depending on the insolation power. This ensures that the load is optimized and yield is always at maximum – even while raining, when cloudy or at dusk.


Unsurpassed reliability.
The Fronius CL creates a redundant system because it integrates several smaller power modules that work together. If one power module should fail, the others simply take  up the slack. In vcomparison: when the power module fails in monolithic systems, the entire system stops operating and this leads to considerable loss of earnings. The Fronius MIX™ concept ensures that the inverter remains in operation even when there is a defect in a power module and this helps to lock in your earnings.


Long service life.
The control unit automatically calculates which power racks and how many will be turned on and off in partial load operation using the respective operating hours of the power modules. This helps to equalize the work load on the PC boards. This also decreases the operating hours of the individual power modules thus increasing the service life of the inverter.


Fast service option.
When service is required, power modules can be removed and replaced easily via the plug & play principle and drawer design. This ensures the highest serviceability and the fastest reaction times on the market.
