<p className="font-heading lh-lg">If you’re ready to take your solar investment to the next level, battery storage that adapts to your changing needs is essential. That’s exactly what the Fronius Reserva delivers thanks to its ingenious, stackable design. For Australians aspiring to greater energy independence, lower bills, and a home that’s ready for tomorrow, the Reserva is a game-changer in the world of solar batteries.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Built for Change: The Power of Stackable Design</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Unlike traditional home batteries that lock you into one configuration, the Fronius Reserva is built around true modularity. Each Reserva unit or tower can be customised with between two and five battery modules, delivering 6.3 kWh to 15.8 kWh of storage per tower.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">What makes the system stand out is its stackability: up to four towers can be linked in parallel, giving you as much as 63 kWh of usable storage* if your needs grow. Start small with a single tower to run evening appliances and essentials. Then, if your family expands, you add an EV, build a granny flat, or simply want longer backup in blackout-prone areas, you can stack on extra modules or entire towers — no costly overhauls or messy rewiring.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">This plug-and-play scalability means your energy system grows with your life, not against it.<br><i>*Maximum system size may be lower when connected to certain inverters, such as the Fronius GEN24 Primo or GEN24 Symo.

<p className="font-heading lh-lg">With electricity prices on the rise and more Australians switching to solar, getting the most out of every kilowatt-hour your PV system produces is essential. One of the best ways to maximise your self-consumption and shrink your bills is to put surplus solar power to work in heating your water and no device makes this easier than the Fronius Ohmpilot.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Make Every Ray Count: Convert Excess Solar to Hot Water</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">A well-designed photovoltaic system will often generate more energy than your home can use during the sunniest parts of the day. Traditionally, this surplus is exported to the grid for a small feed-in credit. But what if you could keep this valuable energy on-site, saving even more money and boosting your independence from the grid?</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">The Fronius Ohmpilot is the smart link that directs excess solar energy straight into your hot water system. Instead of letting precious rays go to waste or earning a minimal return from your retailer, Ohmpilot automatically senses when surplus solar is available and ramps up your electric hot water heating, storage tank, or panel heater. This simple shift means more of your solar investment pays off for your household not someone else’s.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Reduce Bills, Raise Comfort, and Lower Your Carbon Footprint</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Heating water is one of the highest energy expenses for Aussie homes, but with Fronius Ohmpilot, you can cover a substantial portion of this cost with your own green power.

<p className="font-heading lh-lg">The benefits don’t stop at your budget. Because your heating system isn’t relying on gas, oil, or expensive grid power as often, you can extend its service life and reduce environmental wear and tear. In many cases, homeowners can even switch off their boiler or main heating during the summer months, slashing costs even further and minimising maintenance. It's a real win for both your pocket and the planet.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Automated, Intelligent Management, No Guesswork Required</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Designed to be used with Fronius PV inverters and fully integrated into the Fronius Solar.web platform, Ohmpilot puts intelligence and automation at the heart of your hot water solution. The system continuously monitors household electricity consumption, solar generation, and hot water temperature, automatically adjusting output for the smartest use of every surplus watt.</p>

<div className="col-xl-8 col-lg-9 col-md-10">
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">When it comes to choosing a solar inverter for your Australian home, reliability and performance in tough conditions are absolute must-haves. With temperatures soaring to extremes across the country, electronics face a constant battle against heat. That’s where Fronius, an innovator in solar technology, sets itself apart with active cooling — a feature that does more than just keep things running; it maximises your solar return, prolongs system life, and slashes maintenance hassle. Here’s why active cooling matters and how it gives Fronius inverters a decisive edge.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Keeping It Cool: The Science Behind Active Cooling</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Passive cooling is common in many solar inverters: it relies on natural airflow and hefty heat sinks to dissipate heat from sensitive power electronics. But as anyone who’s endured an Aussie summer knows, when temperatures hit the high thirties or forties, natural convection struggles to keep up. That’s when performance drops, and electronic components start to suffer.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Fronius inverters are engineered differently. Their active cooling system uses internal fans to boost airflow across the critical components. This isn’t just about blowing air, but about targeted temperature control ensuring that every part of the inverter remains within optimal operating limits, even in the harshest conditions. The result? Longer service life for vital electronics and more consistent energy production, year after year.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Bigger Yields, Even on the Hottest Days</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Solar inverters, like any electronic device, are temperature sensitive. If they get too warm, they have to reduce output — a process known as “derating.” With derating, your solar system won’t generate as much electricity, which means fewer savings on your power bill and a slower payback period.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Fronius active cooling ensures that your inverter can keep operating at higher outputs, even when the mercury climbs. Unlike passively cooled competitors that may start scaling back output at around 30°C, Fronius inverters hold their performance until 40°C or higher, thanks to their superior thermal management. That means more clean energy, more of the time.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Extended Lifespan, Lower Ongoing Costs</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Heat is the enemy of electronic longevity. As temperature increases, the lifespan of key components like capacitors and power transistors can be dramatically reduced. Industry wisdom suggests that every 10°C rise can halve the service life of electronic parts.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">By actively managing heat, Fronius inverters avoid hot spots that cause premature wear and unexpected breakdowns. For Australian homeowners, this means less need for costly repairs or replacements, and in many cases, a truly maintenance-free experience. Compare this to some passively cooled models, which may require professional cleaning and inspection of heat sinks twice yearly to maintain warranty coverage.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Flexible Design and Hassle-Free Installation</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Another benefit: active cooling grants installers more flexibility. Unlike passive systems restricted by airflow requirements and heavy heat sinks, actively cooled inverters can be mounted vertically, horizontally, or flat, and in a range of locations. This makes it easier to integrate with all sorts of Australian homes and installation challenges — whether you’re maximising a north-facing roof or fitting into a tight utility area.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Built for Aussie Conditions, Backed by Sustainability</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Fronius designs and manufactures its inverters in Austria using 100% green energy and recycled materials wherever possible. This commitment extends to reducing the carbon footprint not just in operation, but across the entire product lifecycle. With active cooling, the company delivers a feature that directly addresses the challenges of the Australian climate — ensuring you get the safest, most durable, and sustainable return on your solar investment.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Choosing a solar inverter is a long-term decision. By selecting Fronius with active cooling, you’re opting for consistent performance, lower running costs, and lasting reliability no matter how fierce the sun gets. That’s the cool advantage your solar investment deserves.</p>

<div className="justify-content-center pb-md-2 row">
<div className="col-xl-8 col-lg-9 col-md-10">
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">If you’ve been exploring the world of solar energy—especially the trusted brands behind high-performing inverters—understanding the story of Fronius offers valuable perspective. Today, Fronius is a global leader in solar technology, welding, and battery charging solutions. Yet, its journey began in the humblest of circumstances amid post-war Austria, shaped by a spirit of resilience and innovation that remains at its core.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Humble Beginnings: 1945</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">The Fronius story started in 1945, when Austrian engineer Günter Fronius opened a small electrical repair workshop in the rural town of Pettenbach. In a country still reeling from World War II, resources were scarce, but Günter’s inventive mind saw opportunity in adversity. He began by repairing radios and soon turned his attention to a simple yet life-changing challenge: extending the lifespan of car batteries. With homemade chargers built in his tiny shop, Günter laid the foundation for a business grounded in practical solutions, engineering excellence, and a commitment to sustainability.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Expanding Horizons Through Innovation</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">By 1950, Fronius had already diversified. The company launched into welding technology, producing transformers that would transform arc welding across Europe. As industries rebuilt, Fronius grew steadily through the 1960s and 70s, developing state-of-the-art electronic equipment and adding a second facility in Thalheim. Throughout these decades, Fronius cultivated a reputation for reliability, precision, and relentless innovation.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Embracing a Global Vision</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">A defining moment arrived in 1980, when Günter Fronius entrusted the business to his children, Brigitte Strauß and Klaus Fronius. Under their stewardship, Fronius shifted gears from a well-respected Austrian brand to a cutting-edge, international technology powerhouse. Central to this transformation was a dedication to research and development and an early recognition that technology and sustainability go hand in hand.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">A Pioneering Leap Into Solar</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Fronius’ boldest move came in 1992, when it established the Solar Energy division. At a time when solar power was just a glimmer on the horizon, this step signalled Fronius’ future-focused mindset. Their first photovoltaic inverter, the “Fronius Sunrise,” debuted in 1995, and the SnapINverter series soon followed, setting new standards for efficiency and smart technology and becoming a favourite among Australian installers.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Commitment to Clean Energy and Family Values</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Sustainability isn’t just a slogan for Fronius—it’s embedded in their operations, with manufacturing facilities running on biomass and rooftop solar. The company has grown to employ over 7,000 people worldwide and exports to more than 60 countries, all while staying true to Günter’s ethos of quality and innovation.

<div className="justify-content-center pb-md-2 row">
<div className="col-xl-8 col-lg-9 col-md-10">

Whether you’re working late, travelling interstate, or simply enjoying a weekend at home, Fronius Solar.web makes it effortless to monitor, optimise, and grow your clean energy investment. For over 650,000 users worldwide, this smart online monitoring platform is the heart of a future-proof, adaptable home energy system.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">24/7 Insights for Every Corner of Your Energy System</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Fronius Solar.web delivers real-time, crystal-clear visibility into your rooftop PV performance and home energy use. From your phone, tablet, or desktop, see exactly how much power you’re generating, how much you’re using, and when your household hits peak demand. Dive into daily generation curves, historical trends, and even CO₂ savings, all via a user-friendly dashboard. No need to guess if your system is working—Solar.web confirms it with live data, letting you diagnose problems early and celebrate your best solar days.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">As your needs grow, Solar.web adapts. It seamlessly integrates data from all Fronius products in your ecosystem—not just your inverter, but also your battery storage (with Fronius Reserva), electric vehicle charger (Wattpilot), and hot water diverter (Ohmpilot). This unified view gives you more control and helps you unlock maximum value from your solar investment at every stage.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Smarter Upgrades as Life Changes</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Life is never static and Fronius ensures your energy system evolves alongside your household. If you notice through Solar.web that you’re exporting a lot of excess solar, the data may point to adding a Fronius Reserva battery for night-time self-consumption or greater backup security during outages. Want to further increase your solar self-use? The platform reveals if introducing a Fronius Ohmpilot for solar hot water is worthwhile, converting surplus energy into daily comfort and bigger savings.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Thinking about going electric for your next vehicle? Solar.web’s analytics show how much additional ‘free’ solar you can put into a Fronius Wattpilot charger, letting you plan for truly zero-carbon motoring powered by your own roof. Each of these upgrades is easily tracked, visualised, and optimised in one place, making the transition to a full clean energy lifestyle straightforward.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Stay Secure, Save More</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Beyond system performance, Solar.web brings in peace of mind through robust energy security and active money saving. Set up automatic alerts for performance drops or faults, so you and your Fronius Solutions Partner can act before savings are lost. Identify and address hidden energy “guzzlers,” fine-tune routines (like when to run appliances), and make smarter choices with clear, actionable insights. It’s a hands-on approach to slashing bills—no more surprises on your electricity statement.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Plus, because all your Fronius devices and data are protected by European-standard cybersecurity on dedicated servers, you can trust that your privacy and investment are well defended.</p>

<div className="col-xl-8 col-lg-9 col-md-10">
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">In the thriving horticultural region of Woombye, Queensland, the Cedar Hill Corporate Group is proving that sustainability and business growth can go hand in hand. Their journey to greener operations has taken root through a strategic partnership with Uni-Industries, a certified Fronius Solutions Partner, and the robust, adaptive Fronius solar ecosystem. Together, they are setting new standards for eco-friendly enterprise in the Australian landscape sector.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Greener Ambitions, Expert Solutions</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Cedar Hill Corporate Group operates across a diverse network of brands, including Premium Greens Australia, Australian Plants Online, and Cedar Hill Flowers and Foliage. Their mission extends far beyond growing and supplying native plants—it includes a firm commitment to reducing environmental impact and operating sustainably. Recognising the growing power demands of their expanding business, Cedar Hill needed a future-proof solar solution that could keep pace, offer scalability, and maximise every unit of clean power produced.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">That’s where Uni-Industries came in. As a Fronius Solutions Partner, their expertise in custom commercial solar installations meant Cedar Hill could confidently transition from traditional energy sources to a fully integrated, high-performance solar setup.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">From Seedlings to Solar Success: Phased Growth with Fronius</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">The solar transformation began in 2017, led by Uni-Industries’ design and installation team. They rolled out two initial systems: a 33kW PV system using 110 Longi Solar panels matched with a 25kW Fronius Eco inverter, and a 26.4kW system powered by 88 panels and two 10kW Fronius Symo inverters. By choosing Fronius, they guaranteed reliability, performance, and industry-leading monitoring capabilities, ensuring maximum returns on each kilowatt-hour of sunshine.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">As Cedar Hill’s operations and energy demands flourished, so did the solar system. In 2021, Uni-Industries delivered a further 39.78kW expansion (complete with two additional Fronius Symo inverters). In 2022, a 26.56kW system was installed with a 20kW Symo Inverter, bringing more clean power to support their growing nursery and business divisions.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Each upgrade was seamlessly integrated into the existing Fronius ecosystem, keeping everything centralised, efficient, and easy to manage. This phasing approach highlights a major strength of the Fronius platform: flexibility and future-proof compatibility.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">Smart Management with Fronius Solar.web and Dynamic Export</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Technology is only truly powerful when it’s smart and intuitive. Cedar Hill’s entire network of inverters is monitored and optimised through the Fronius Solar.web platform, providing instant access to live data, historic generation trends, and alerts if any issues arise. This level of visibility allows the business to proactively manage its energy use, fine-tune performance, and get the most out of sunny days.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Innovation didn’t stop there. With support from Uni-Industries, Cedar Hill recently introduced dynamic export functionality. Instead of being locked into a static output limit, their system can now adjust power exported back to the grid depending on real-time grid demand and site conditions. This not only increases their own savings and revenue potential—it also supports local grid stability, benefiting the whole Woombye community.</p>
<h3 className="h5 pt-3">The Fronius Ecosystem: Flexible, Reliable, and Ready for the Future</h3>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">What sets the Fronius ecosystem apart for commercial clients like Cedar Hill is its holistic, modular design. Uni-Industries, as a Fronius Solutions Partner, ensures every component—from initial panels and inverters to future expansions, battery storage, or EV charging—remains compatible and centrally managed. The renowned after-sales service and straightforward support network adds peace of mind, ensuring issues are solved without confusion or finger-pointing between suppliers.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Cedar Hill’s ongoing investment illustrates how Australian businesses can combine environmental responsibility with commercial acumen, driving down costs, boosting operational resilience, and building a positive industry legacy.</p>
<p className="font-heading lh-lg">Ready to take your own operations to the next level? Trust a certified Fronius Solutions Partner like Uni-Industries and unlock the power of the complete Fronius ecosystem for a smarter, more sustainable tomorrow.</p>
