About This Product
The Fronius Symo Advanced 15.0-3 480 Lite 15kW Three-Phase Inverter is a commercial grid-tied solar string inverter designed for US three-phase electrical systems operating at 480V AC. Part of the Fronius Symo Advanced family, this model converts DC power from solar panels into grid-compatible AC electricity for commercial solar installations.
The inverter features an integrated power line communication (PLC) transmitter supporting the SunSpec Rapid Shutdown communication standard. This simplifies integration with compatible module-level rapid shutdown equipment where required by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Its transformerless design, flexible mounting options, and field-serviceable construction make it suitable for professional commercial PV installations.
