Leading energy information company, Obvius, and solar photovoltaic inverter company, Fronius, team up to bring new integrated solution to market
October 3, 2011 - Hillsboro, OR – Obvius Holdings LLC and Fronius International GmbH today announced a strategic partnership.  The two companies worked together to develop a complete, interoperable monitoring solution that provides plug-and-play integration.  The Fronius IG Plus and CL inverters are now supported by the Obvius AcquiSuite™, AcquiSuite EMB™ and AcquiLite EMB™ product lines.

"We were able to utilize our own expertise in inverter-direct communications and work with Fronius in order to give U.S. customers a scalable solution and the ability to choose best of breed components when choosing a solar PV system," said Cole Knappen, vice president of sales and marketing for Obvius. "Opening up a first-class system like that which Fronius has to the strong flexibility demands of the U.S. marketplace is an exciting advancement."

When a Fronius inverter is ordered with a Fronius Com Card and USB converter, the Obvius data acquisition server offers inverter-direct communications, Modbus TCP output, and instant integration with all third party software monitoring providers.
