Australians can depend on FIMER’s range of Italian-made residential and commercial solar inverters, with new arrivals coming in 2024.
Italian solar inverter, EV charger and energy storage solution company FIMER celebrated its 80th birthday in December 2022. With its roots firmly in Europe, the company has established a strong footprint worldwide, including in Australia, where residential, commercial, and utility-scale customers can depend on FIMER’s experience in the energy space.
FIMER’s range is designed and predominantly manufactured in Italy, where the company has two plants that produce its string inverters, batteries and electric vehicle chargers. It also has a manufacturing plant in India, where its central inverters are made.
FIMER acquired the ABB Solar business in early 2020, which launched the FIMER business into the Australian market.
“We have a proud history in Australia,” says Jason Venning, FIMER country manager – Australia and New Zealand. “Many people in the industry will know us from the ABB Solar days.”
Currently, in the residential space, FIMER offers the UNO-DM-PLUS-Q range from 2kW to 6kW. However, in 2024 the company is launching its Power range that will include a new single-phase, three-phase hybrid string inverter and a modular battery storage solution up to 75kWh (PowerX pictured above).
FIMER’s commercial range includes the PVS 10/33 and PVS-100 three-phase string inverters.
PVS-10/33 comes in six sizes (10/12.5/15/20/30/33kW) that can also be used for small to large residential or commercial applications.
“The UNO-DM and PVS-10/33 range come with a full 10-year replacement warranty which covers replacement of the inverter, labour and transport,” says Venning.
“Our PVS-100 inverters have a large footprint in Australia and New Zealand and are perfect for a single 100kW job up to large rooftop or ground-mount projects.”
FIMER also offers the PVS980 central inverter solution that is used in large utility-scale projects.
“We have seen growth in sub-5MW installations of FIMER’s solar and bidirectional inverter solutions in Australia, with projects coming online all around the country,” says Venning.
He says end-users of FIMER’s string inverter products benefit from the company’s monitoring solution, Aurora Vision, to securely manage and analyse their systems for free.
“We offer our monitoring platform for free for end-users, plant managers and installers to manage their installs from one place,” he says.
“For everyone, our EnergyViewer App can be used to keep track of the system’s generation and the properties’ consumption data. Users can do remote firmware updates and get alerts if something goes wrong.
“Our Plant Portfolio Manager web portal allows installers and plant managers to deep dive and manage one or more solar plants.”
Australian and New Zealand FIMER installers can also enjoy being members of FIMER’s installer program.
“We have a certified installer program that offers benefits including loyalty bonuses, improved extended warranty conditions, priority access to our support centre and more,” says Venning.
