Repowering with Fronius

Why should you consider repowering?

If you have a dated photovoltaic system with a string inverter, there may be an opportunity to utilize the compatibility of Fronius inverters to retrofit your system and restore it back to full power.  Whether your current inverter is older and not performing at the highest efficiency, or is out of warranty, defective or costly to repair, repowering with Fronius may be the option for you.

How does this benefit you?

Homeowners and businesses that have an existing PV system are finding value in upgrading to a new Fronius inverter that comes backed with a 10-year warranty and higher efficiency results.  Not only do these new inverters provide the homeowner or business a peace of mind warranty, but you also gain an upgraded system with monitoring capabilities using state-of-the-art tools that may not have been available with their older or existing inverter, such as mobile apps.

New Inverter. New Warranty.

If your system is dated or out-of-warranty, repowering with a Fronius inverter not only gets your system back up and running in no time, it also gives you peace of mind with our standard 10-year warranty. Make sure your inverter’s serial number is registered in Fronius Solar.web so your warranty starts on the day of installation.

Do Fronius inverters comply with my local requirements?

Typically, older photovoltaic systems, even if out of date, can be grandfathered in to your locality’s legacy codes and standards. This means that new devices that may not meet current requirements could replace older or damaged units and still be in compliance. As with any retrofit or replacement, it is important to check with your local or state government’s AHJ (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) to ensure proper regulations and procedures when repowering your PV system.
