At Fronius, our commitment to sustainability extends far beyond merely developing eco-friendly products and solutions for green electricity generation.
We delve deeper into what sustainability truly means for us as a company. It’s not just a box to tick; it’s ingrained in our core values and influences every aspect of our operations, from product conception to eventual disposal or recycling. Explore our perspective on sustainability as a manufacturer and how it shapes our daily practices.
Integrating Sustainability Across the Product Life Cycle
Our objective is to ensure sustainability across the entirety of a product’s life cycle. We understand that significant contributions to CO2 reduction can only be made when sustainability is prioritized in every phase, including development, production, usage, and disposal. This focus on sustainability drives our decisions when creating new products, emphasizing factors like longevity, efficiency, repairability, and recyclability.
The GEN24 Plus Hybrid Inverter: A Testament to Sustainability
The Fronius GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter exemplifies our commitment to sustainability throughout its life cycle. Through a comprehensive year-long assessment conducted alongside sustainability experts, we scrutinized every aspect, from raw material procurement to production methods, transportation logistics, repairability, and recyclability. The results of this life cycle analysis, corroborated by the prestigious Fraunhofer Institute, underscore the environmental benefits, demonstrating up to a 26-fold reduction in environmental impact compared to conventional manufacturing and operation practices.
The GEN24 Plus inverter boasts remarkable CO2 savings equivalent to approximately nine transatlantic flights over a 20-year assumed service life, showcasing the tangible impact of sustainable design.
Emphasizing Durability in Sustainable Products
For us, sustainability also entails crafting products of exceptional quality with extended service lives. By prioritizing durability, we not only save our customers money but also minimize waste and resource consumption. Rigorous testing procedures ensure our products surpass industry standards and withstand various environmental challenges, reinforcing our global reputation for reliability.
Fast and Efficient Repair: Pillar of Sustainability
In the event of issues, our commitment to sustainability extends to rapid and convenient repair processes. Our innovative system facilitates on-site troubleshooting and swift resolution, minimizing downtime in green energy production. Additionally, our network of Fronius Repair Centers across 21 subsidiaries worldwide reduces the need for long-distance transportation, further aligning with our sustainability goals.
