Fronius Australia Pty Ltd
The Fronius GEN24 Plus is an Austrian-engineered residential hybrid inverter. It runs solar conversion and battery management in one unit and supports both AC-coupled and DC-coupled batteries. Fronius's Active Cooling Technology holds rated output at high ambient temperatures, which matters for Perth summers where passively-cooled inverters derate. The PV Point feature delivers a limited daytime backup outlet from solar alone, without a battery attached. Warranty is 10 years standard, extendable to 15 or 20 years. Fronius runs an Australian office in Melbourne for direct warranty support, and the GEN24 Plus is widely specified by Australian installers in the premium tier.

From May 1, 2026, all new battery installations in WA require CSIP-AUS compliant inverters. Verify ESM status with your installer.
Perth's high ambient temperatures (regularly 35°C+) can reduce inverter efficiency and trigger thermal throttling. For installations in direct sun or non-ventilated garages, consider inverters with active cooling and wide operating temperature ranges. All grid-connected installations require Western Power approval.
