Product Description
Fronius Galvo 3.1-1 – this is an independent review for Fronius Galvo 3.1-1 we have compiled for your reference. Feel free to add your comments or experiences at the bottom of the page.
The future-proof inverter for small self-consumption systems.
With power categories ranging from 1.5 to 3.1 kW, the Fronius Galvo is perfect for households – and is especially suitable for self-consumption systems. The integrated energy management relay allows the self-consumption component to be maximised. A host of other smart features make the Fronius Galvo one of the most future-proof inverters in its class: for example, the integrated datalogging, the simple connection to the internet by WLAN, or the plug-in card technology for retrofitting additional functions.
- Suitable for all module technologies due to galvanic isolation
- New hinged system for quick and easy installation
- Low weight and compact size
- For indoor and outdoor mounting (high protection class IP 65)

Technology
Unique Fronius PC board replacement process
The foundation of the unique PC board replacement process is laid as we develop our inverters, as PC boards can only be replaced if the device has been designed accordingly. This enables our Fronius Service Partners to provide the fastest inverter servicing on the market.
SnapINverter mounting system
The special feature in the design of our devices is that the connection compartment is separate from the power stage set compartment. They are installed separately. The connection area and all its cabling is fitted to the wall first. The power stage set compartment is fitted afterwards. The innovative SnapINverter mounting system makes installation and servicing extremely user-friendly. The inverter is simply placed in the wall bracket and then secured. It is not necessary to remove the entire inverter for servicing, just the power stage set compartment. All the cabling, settings and configurations remain in place.
Automatic HF transformer switchover
Fronius transformer inverters use a high-frequency (HF) transformer. The automatic transformer switchover facility produces three efficiency peaks. The result: a constant level of efficiency across the entire input voltage range, resulting in higher yields. Other advantages of HF transformer technology are the compact, lightweight design and safety as a result of the electrical isolation.
Integrated WLAN interface
Simple, user-friendly system monitoring is very important to Fronius. With the Fronius Datamanager, we are the first inverter manufacturer to offer a WLAN interface in the inverter itself. The inverter is connected to the internet without additional cabling and grants you the perfect overview of how the PV system is operating.
Smart Grid Ready
Fronius inverters are ready for the Smart Grid of tomorrow. The inverters are optimally equipped to meet the technical requirements of grids in the future. A series of smart functions, known as Advanced Grid Features, are built into the devices. These include a number of control functions for optimum feed-in of reactive power and effective power. These functions are designed to enable stable grid operation even when the PV system density is very high and to prevent unwanted interruptions to feed-in and associated yield losses. Fronius inverters therefore help to guarantee the yield of a PV system.
