Fronius Tauro brings greater cost effectiveness to large-scale PV systems

The Fronius Tauro follows on from the Fronius Tauro ECO launched in May last year. They are “Designed to perform” and form an unbeatable duo for cost-effective yet flexible projects. Each inverter alone offers unique advantages which can be utilized depending on the requirements of the PV system.

The Fronius Tauro is available in the 50 kW power category and has three MPP trackers coupled with a very wide input voltage range, making it particularly well suited to more challenging PV configurations. The Tauro ECO has one MPP tracker, is optimized for efficiency and cost, and is available in the 50, 99.99, and 100 kW power categories. “Cost optimization, a long service life, design flexibility, and efficient servicing are what set our Fronius Tauro commercial inverters apart,” says Martin Hackl, Global Director of the Business Unit Solar Energy, Fronius International GmbH, on the benefits of the Fronius Tauro.

Maximum yields whatever the circumstances
“A good commercial inverter must be robust with a long service life,” says Jasmin Gross, Product Marketing, Fronius International GmbH. “We developed the Fronius Tauro to brave even the harshest environmental conditions and to deliver maximum yields in any scenario.”

The double-walled housing and active cooling ensure a long service life and robustness while simultaneously operating at full performance. Thanks to its IP 65 safety class and unique cooling technology, the inverter can even be installed in unprotected outdoor areas or in direct sunlight without the need for additional protective structures.

Minimal overall operating costs thanks to smart design
The innovative system architecture makes the Fronius Tauro particularly flexible in terms of system design. The inverter is smart, quick to install, and efficient to maintain. When servicing is required, all that’s needed is to replace the affected power module on site. This makes for stable operation and fast, cost-efficient servicing.

Like all Fronius products, the Tauro can be conveniently monitored, controlled, and maintained from a smartphone or PC. From commissioning with Solar.start and monitoring with Solar.web to support with Solar.SOS, the digital Fronius tools support the installer every step of the way. Thanks to the open system architecture, third-party components can also be integrated with ease.

Maximum flexibility in terms of system design and installation
The inverter can either be suspended on a mounting frame or placed flat on the floor. The commercial inverters have been optimized for use in a centralized or local system. This considerable design freedom gives the installer maximum flexibility and also has a positive effect on the cost. AC daisy chaining also results in additional cost optimization, reducing the need for additional components and cables.

Sustainability and unique servicing approach
The Fronius Tauro also shows that sustainability at every stage of the product life cycle pays dividends. It is designed for durability and, when servicing is required, the affected individual parts can be replaced directly on site. Together with the digital support tools, such as Fronius.Solar.SOS, it results in efficient servicing which saves both time and resources.
