Never Get Left in the Dark Again: How Fronius Backup Power Keeps Your Home Running

When the lights flicker off unexpectedly, whether you’re cooking, working from home, or winding down in front of the TV, the inconvenience of a power outage is immediately clear. Yet power failures don’t need to disrupt your day. With Fronius hybrid inverters, Australian homeowners can trust that their solar investment will be there when it matters most, ensuring lights, appliances, and comfort continue even when the grid goes down.

Built-In Security: Backup Power as Standard

Unlike many solar solutions that only provide electricity when the grid is available, Fronius GEN24 and GEN24 Plus inverters come equipped with backup functionality from the outset. The standard feature, known as the PV Point, is an integrated basic backup power supply. In the event of a blackout, this clever system keeps designated single-phase loads powered—think your fridge, key lights, or internet router—through a dedicated socket or fused circuit. No batteries or expensive add-ons are required, so you benefit from reliable essential power even during lengthy outages whilst the sun is out and your system is generating solar energy.

Choose the Backup Power Level That Suits Your Life

Modern households are all about flexibility, and Fronius has tailored its backup options to suit a range of needs. The basic PV Point is perfect for keeping your home’s essentials running, but what if you want to go a step further and ensure maximum independence? The answer is as simple as a future upgrade.

By pairing your Fronius GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter with a compatible battery system and the Fronius Backup Controller, you can unlock Full Backup mode. This means the entire household—kitchen, heating, cooling, entertainment, and more—can remain powered during grid failures, as long as solar or stored battery energy is available. The transition is automatic and seamless, ensuring your lifestyle and security are fully protected in any situation. And you don’t have to decide straight away; the system is expandable, so you can start with what you need and upgrade later as your requirements change.

Seamless, Automatic, and All-In-One

Fronius backup power is about more than just staying "switched on"—it's about making the process seamless for every user. The Backup Controller fits neatly inside your switch cabinet, removing the need for bulky extra switchover boxes and avoiding a complex mess of cabling. In a blackout, it automatically shifts your home into backup mode and silently switches everything back to normal when grid supply is restored.

The backup power options from Fronius are “set and forget,” meaning there’s no need for manual inputs or stressful decisions in a crisis. You can rest easy, knowing that your system will step in exactly when it’s needed, keeping your home safe, connected, and comfortable.

Future-Proof Peace of Mind

In an age of rising energy uncertainty, choosing a backup-ready solar solution is not just about today’s convenience—it’s about long-term security for your home and family. Fronius has engineered a flexible, modular approach: start simple, enjoy built-in protection, and scale up to whole-home backup as your needs evolve. All backed by a track record of reliable service, rigorous local support, and decades of innovation.
