While providing superior cooling performance that helps to extend the working life of an inverter, it also creates more noise.<\/p>\n<p>At &lt; 42 dB (A), the Primo GEN24 Plus would be louder than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-blackout-inverter-mb1494\/\">Delta E5<\/a> , which also offers backup power functionality without a battery. But louder doesn&#8217;t mean really loud. 42 dB is a bit more than the level of a computer fan, but it may still be a consideration in terms of inverter placement.<\/p>\n<p>Fronius has been producing inverters since the 1990&#8217;s and its solar products are considered among the best in the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/fronius-review.html\">Fronius solar inverter reviews<\/a> here on SolarQuotes have generally been very positive and there has been a lot of them; more than 4,800 ratings and reviews at the time of publishing.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, Fronius says the three-phase Symo GEN24 Plus will be also be available in the smaller 3, 4 and 5 kW power categories next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fronius has announced its GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter is now available in a Primo single-phase variant &#8211;
