Fronius: Generating solar power at 2,300 metres above sea level

Fronius Symo inverter: robust, powerful and reliable 

“The latter project was not only unique due to the large output generated”, according to Fischer. The Shahrekord Cement Company site is 2,300 meters above sea level in the city of Shahrekord, also known as the “Roof of Iran”.

The region is prone to hot summers and cold winters, with ambient temperatures varying between - 10 and + 50 degrees Celsius – conditions that could complicate this type of project right from the outset.

Fronius supplied the Fronius Symo 76 to achieve the best results at this extreme altitude. These inverters are particularly robust, working powerfully and reliably at temperatures between -40 and +60 degrees Celsius.

Using this system, the cement manufacturer has achieved a total yield of 2,953 megawatt hours per year, which it feeds back to the grid. It is very easy for the operator to monitor and analyse the system using the Fronius Solar.web monitoring tool.

Remote inverter software updates mean software updates can be installed quickly and efficiently with just a click of the mouse, without going near the system. Additionally, the cement manufacturer benefits from having access to a comprehensive after-sales service through Fronius, plus a five-year warranty on materials.
