Fronius Solar Inverters

Fronius International is an Austrian manufacturer that has been in business for over 75 years.

The Fronius Solar Energy business unit has been involved in photovoltaics since 1992 and develops and produces high-performance inverters for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The product range is complemented by components for system monitoring, data visualisation and analysis - all available as standalone product add-ons.

Fronius has a reputation for producing high-quality inverters, that are widely used and highly regarded in residential, commercial and industrial solar installations across Australia. 

Fronius inverters are designed with sustainability in mind.

The company uses more than 90% recycled aluminum in the aluminum heat-sink of its inverters. Fronius Gen 24 range also has a modular design that allows for easy replacement of parts in the field without shipping the whole unit to Fronius for repairs, whilst also offering a higher service lifetime.  

Fronius GEN24 vs. GEN24 Plus: Understanding the Differences

The Fronius GEN24 and GEN24 Plus are both advanced solar inverters designed to provide reliable energy solutions. While they share many features, there are key distinctions regarding backup power capabilities and battery integration:

Fronius GEN24
• PV Point Backup: Equipped with an integrated PV Point, it offers basic backup power functionality. This allows for supplying single-phase loads up to 3 kW via a dedicated socket during a grid outage, using available solar energy when the sun is shining.
• Battery Compatibility: Does not support battery storage integration out of the box. However, with the optional Fronius UP.storage software upgrade, battery functionality and full backup capabilities can be added. 

Fronius GEN24 Plus
• Enhanced Backup Options: Includes both the PV Point feature and the capability for Full Backup. When combined with a compatible battery storage system it can supply power to the entire home during a power outage.
 • Battery Integration: Fully compatible with battery storage systems such as the BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM, enabling energy storage for use during night time or grid interruptions. (See notes on Fronius Up below).

Fronius Up:
The Fronius GEN24 provides you with many of the advantages of generating your own energy. With “Fronius UP”, your PV system becomes even more flexible. That’s because this optional software update turns the Fronius GEN24 into our Fronius GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter with all its functions and advantages – from the connection of a battery storage system to the “Full Backup” emergency power function.

With CEC (Clean Energy Council) approval across the range, they are also compliant with AS4777.2:2015.
