If you purchase a Fronius GEN24 inverter, you have the ability to get installed a "PV Point".
The Fronius PV Point is a basic backup power supply integrated into the Fronius GEN24 & GEN24 Plus series inverters. This innovative function makes it possible to reliably supply a socket or small consumer circuits with energy in the event of a power failure. PV Point provides up to 3 kW of continuous single-phase power, making it ideal for maintaining the power supply to important consumers or household appliances.
Key features include:
Function: It provides power to a designated socket (up to 3kW) during a grid outage, using available PV or battery power. Automatic Switching: The inverter automatically switches to backup power, without needing additional components.
Installation: It requires a modification to the inverter's base shell, with predefined outputs for easy installation.
Limitations: Some appliances with high starting currents (e.g., refrigerators) may not function properly. It cannot be used as an uninterruptible power supply for sensitive equipment like computers.
A decisive advantage of PV Point is its simple installation and low installation costs. Unlike some other backup power solutions, PV Point does not require any additional switching components in the switch cabinet.
Another significant advantage of PV Point is its independence from batteries, provided that sufficient energy is generated by the PV modules. This means PV Point can operate in backup power mode without relying on a battery. This provides a cost-effective solution for maintaining the power supply if you already have a PV system installed. Of course, PV Point also works optimally in combination with a battery.
