Fronius Repowering
digital tool is now available for use in the USA
Fronius‘ newly introduced Repowering tool enables solar installers to offer
their customers repowering options for their photovoltaic system, regardless of
the inverter brand used in the original system. Repowering is usually a performance-related replacement of inverters
that are out of warranty, but may also occur if an older inverter model is no
longer available or spare parts do not exist. With Fronius Repowering,
residential and commercial solar installers can:
”We are very pleased to announce that the Fronius Repowering tool is available in the United States. By offering this digital tool to PV installers free of charge, we’re helping them gain more business with compatible retrofit inverter replacement details,” says Richard Baldinger, Director of Sales & Marketing Business Unit Solar Energy at Fronius USA. “This gives PV installers looking for new revenue streams a great opportunity – especially in states like California, where many solar systems exist, and the number of new installations is currently going down,” adds Richard Baldinger.
Benefit as a
homeowner or business by taking advantage of Repowering
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 they 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.
Benefit as an installer
with use of Repowering
With solar inverters
being a critical component for system performance, installers can engage with their
existing customer base, generating new business while keeping their customers’
satisfaction high. Furthermore, new
revenue streams can be created by servicing orphaned systems, where the
original installer or inverter brand no longer exists. This new revenue stream
allows installers to offset decreasing revenues if they are experiencing a decline in new installations. The Fronius Repowering Tool makes it easier
for solar installers to find the proper replacement inverter, no matter if the
old inverter is from Fronius or another manufacturer.
