Fronius Solar Inverters and Energy Storage

Solar technology from Austria used in Eco Horizon installations across Ireland

Fronius manufactures solar inverters and battery storage systems for homes and businesses. Founded in Austria in 1945, the company has been producing inverters for photovoltaic systems since the 1990s and now has over 5,000 employees. Their inverters are manufactured in Austria and are widely installed in residential solar systems across Europe, including Ireland.

Why We Use Fronius

We use Fronius products because their inverters are well-established in the Irish market and integrate cleanly with battery storage and monitoring tools. The GEN24 range supports hybrid operation, meaning it can handle solar input, battery storage and grid connection from a single unit. Fronius systems are also built with future-proofing in mind – a battery connection can be added later via a software upgrade if the storage is not included at installation. Their Solar.web monitoring platform gives homeowners clear, accessible data on how their system is performing.

Established Technology

Fronius has been manufacturing solar inverters since the 1990s. Their GEN24 inverters are designed for residential use and handle both standard grid-tied operation and backup power scenarios.

Hybrid Inverter Operation

The GEN24 range handles solar input, battery charging and grid interaction in a single unit. This simplifies installation and means all energy flows through one managed point.

Battery Storage Compatibility

Fronius inverters work with compatible battery systems to store solar energy for use in the evening or during outages. Storage capacity can be expanded modularly as needs change.

Backup Power Support

With the correct inverter, battery and grid switching equipment, a Fronius system can continue to run during a grid outage, drawing from battery storage and live solar generation.

Products We Install

We install Fronius inverters and compatible storage systems as part of our solar power installations.

Certified and
tested equipment

Fronius solar products are manufactured to recognised international standards and carry relevant certifications for use in EU markets.

Long term manufacturer warranties

Fronius inverters come with manufacturer warranty cover. Warranty can also be extended free of charge by registering the system in the Solar.web portal.

Compliance with Irish and EU standards

Equipment is suitable for use in residential and commercial solar installations across Ireland and meets requirements for grid connection under Irish regulations.

How Fronius Fits Into Your Solar Power System

Smart integration and performance
A Fronius-based system connects the main components of a solar installation – panels, inverter, battery and grid connection – through a single managed point. The inverter converts DC power from the panels into usable AC electricity, manages charging and discharging of the battery, and handles the switch to backup mode if the grid goes down. All components feed data into the Solar.web monitoring platform, giving a real-time and historical view of system performance. The GEN24 inverters also support future upgrades, so additional storage or controls can be added without replacing the inverter. Fronius also make the Wattpilot home EV charger, which integrates directly with the GEN24 and Solar.web, allowing the car to charge from surplus solar rather than drawing from the grid.

Integration & Monitoring

System monitoring and control

System Performance at a Glance

Fronius Solar.web is a free monitoring platform that connects directly to the inverter. From a browser or the Solar.web app on a phone or tablet, you can see how your system is performing in real time and review historical data going back over time.

  • See live solar production and current home energy use
  • Track output day-by-day or review monthly trends
  • Monitor battery charge and discharge levels
  • View how much power is exported back to the grid
  • Identify if consumption is unusually high at certain times
Solar.web also includes an AI-based Energy Cost Assistant that analyses expected solar production, household consumption patterns and current electricity prices to optimise when the battery charges and discharges. Registering on Solar.web also gives access to a free warranty extension for the inverter.

Solar System Components

Explore the main parts that make up a complete solar power system.

Solar Panels

Different solar panels produce different amounts of energy. Choosing the right panel helps your system generate more power and stay consistent through changing weather conditions.

Solar Invertor

Different inverters manage power in different ways. The right inverter helps your system run smoothly and ensures your panels’ energy is used efficiently throughout the day.

Battery Storage

Batteries store the solar energy that your home does not use right away. The right battery can provide backup power and help you rely less on the grid during busy periods.

Smart Energy Controller

Smart energy controllers help your system manage power more effectively. They improve performance, reduce waste, and give you better control over how your home uses energy.

EV Charging

A home EV charger lets you power your car with solar energy. The right charger can reduce running costs and make everyday charging easier and more convenient.

Energy Management

A monitoring app shows how much energy your system is producing and using. Clear, real-time information helps you understand performance and spot issues early.
