    Fronius primo 8.2 reliability

    Does anyone have any experience with the Fronius Primo series reliability? Some of the reviews on the internet bother me a little, but they look like older reviews. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    They are new in the last 4 months or so in the US so jury is out still.
    The one thing my installers do not like is the inverter has to be removed to check any wiring connections. Not just a cover but the main inverter body.

      I don't know about the Primo line, but we stopped using Fronius inverters in general due to reliability issues,

      We probably had about 100 sites using them with about 20 failures over 3 years.

      Contrast that to over 2000 sites using SMA with about 10 failures.

      The Primo looks interesting, but I'll stick with SMA -22 and SolarEdge
