/ The Fronius Primo in power categories from 3.0 to 8.2 kW perfectly completes the new SnapINverter generation.
This single-phase, transformerless device is the ideal inverter for private households. Its innovative SuperFlex Design
provides maximum flexibility in system design, while the SnapINverter mounting system makes installation and
maintenance easier than ever before. The communication package included as standard, with WLAN, energy management, several interfaces and much more besides, makes the Fronius Primo a communicative inverter for owner-occupiers.
