Fronius wins the top spot for the third year in a row with an incredible 48% of all votes cast.
Fronius keeps getting more popular with Australian installers, growing their share of the vote every year.
If you purchase a Fronius inverter in Australia during 2023, it’s highly likely that you’ll be presented with their latest Gen 24 Model rather than the older ‘SnapINverter’ design, as the latter is gradually being replaced.
SolarQuotes have reported that Fronius have won their ‘Best Inverter’ in their Installer Choice awards for 2023.
This is positive news. The Fronius Gen 24 serves as a commendable successor, boasting two standout advantages:
Firstly, it operates much quieter. While the previous SnapINverter design was prone to generating considerable noise at higher power levels, the Gen 24, while not entirely silent, maintains a noise level that is sufficiently low not to be a concern. It’s notable that Fronius has retained forced cooling with a fan, a feature that aids in dissipating heat and likely contributes to the longevity of the electronics, particularly in Australia’s hot climate.
Secondly, all Gen 24 inverters offer the option of being upgraded to control a battery via an over-the-air, paid upgrade. This implies that you can initially purchase the solar-only inverter at a similar price point to the old SnapINverter. Then, if you decide to incorporate a battery later on, you can opt to pay approximately $1,000 for the upgrade. This approach is not only more cost-effective but also environmentally friendly compared to replacing the inverter or adding a separate inverter solely for the battery. It’s worth noting, however, that currently, the only available battery option is a BYD battery.
For those seeking a durable, high-quality inverter with a convenient upgrade path to BYD batteries, Fronius stands out as an excellent choice.
