History[edit]

Formation and development[edit]

In 1945, Günter Fronius (1907-2015) and his wife Friedl set up Fronius International GmbH in Pettenbach. Günter Fronius occupied himself with the development of battery charging systems in an electrical business. A little later, he employed 15 people. In the mid-1960s, the company started to manufacture electronics and welding torches. In 1972, Fronius opened a second site in Thalheim, near Wels, and moved production there. Günter Fronius handed over the management of the business to his two children in 1980, and from then on the company focused more and more on expansion and internationalisation. Sites were opened in Austria and beyond in the years that followed. At the same time, Fronius expanded into the fields of welding technology and battery charging technology. Photovoltaics became a new focus in 1992. In 2001, Fronius opened a factory in Pettenbach, the town in which the company started. The logistics and production site at Sattledt was opened in 2007. With the capture of the American market between 2002 and 2007, the company has now gained a foothold outside Europe.

Today[edit]

Fronius employes more than 5,400 people worldwide in 2020. In addition to the company's headquarter in Pettenbach and other sites in Wels, Thalheim, Sattledt and Steinhaus, Fronius also has a production site in the Czech Republic. Fronius also has 34 subsidiaries.[1]

Business Units[edit]

Perfect Welding[edit]

The business unit Perfect Welding provides products and complete systems - both manual and automated - as well as services in welding technology. Around 1950, Fronius launched its first welding transformer with magnet-yoke-control, which allowed the welding current to be continuously adjusted. Fifty years later the company launched the CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) process, which permits the thermal joining of steel to aluminium. The introduction of the DeltaSpot welding system (resistance spot welding system) finally facilitated the mass production of aluminium car bodies.

Solar Energy[edit]

The business unit Solar Energy has been involved in photovoltaics since 1992 and develops and produces high-performance inverters for grid connected photovoltaic systems from 1 kW upwards. The product range is complemented by components for system monitoring, data visualisation and analysis - all available as standalone product add-ons.

Fronius

Perfect Charging[edit]

Perfect Charging is Fronius International's oldest business unit. Fronius has been researching and developing charging technology since it was founded in 1945. The 1990s saw inverter technology applied for the first time to pulsed charging devices for charging vehicle starter batteries. The ACCTIVA series is a starter-battery charging system. In the field of traction batteries, Fronius offers the SELECTIVA series.

Austria[edit]

Fronius is based in Pettenbach, where the company was founded. Covering an area of 6,000 m², it is the 'centre of excellence' for Fronius welding torches and accounting & internal auditing.
The production and logistics site of the company is located in Sattledt. Since 2007, all battery charging systems, welding systems and solar inverters have been produced here on a site more than 100,000 m² in size. One of the largest photovoltaic systems in Austria, with a module area of 3,600 m², can be found on the roof of the building. There is also a biomass power station that supplies the majority of the energy required.
Thalheim, near Wels, is the Research & Development site of the company and will be extended to cover 22,500 m² by 2011. Special features of the Thalheim site in the future will include photovoltaic electricity generation, geothermal probes (geothermal fields) and the systematic re-use of waste heat from the test laboratories.
Wels, with its historic brick building, is the sales hub of Fronius International. The site, which was opened in 1990, extends over 17,000 m² and is the starting point for the international activities of all three Fronius divisions. The active energy design, photovoltaics system and modern environmental technology ensure that as much energy as possible is collected to meet its own requirements.
The Repair Center International (RCI), which used to be in Sattledt, relocated to Steinhaus in 2010.

International sites[edit]

In addition to the eight sites in Austria, Fronius has 34 international subsidiaries and sales partners/representatives in more than 60 countries (as of 2020).[2]

Fronius is a globally-established brand originating from Pettenbach, Austria since 1945 which already has 30 subsidiaries in over 60 countries. In 1992, it started to engage in renewable energy particularly solar energy but it was only in 1995 when Fronius developed their first inverter, “Sunrise”. By 2001, they already made a great leap when it comes to inverters when they introduced the Fronius IG. Throughout the years, Fronius made it their mission to research and develop solar energy as a means of a sustainable and efficient energy source.

For inverter products, Fronius customers can choose from different options such as:

  • Fronius Galvo
  • Fronius Galvo UL
  • Fronius Primo
  • Fronius Primo UL
  • Fronius Symo Hybrid
  • Fronius Symo
  • Fronius Symo UL
  • Fronius Eco

While these products are very efficient in energy saving, it will most likely encounter problems along the way. With the help of our accredited solar electrician, these problems will be solved.

Fronius Inverter Fault & Error Codes

A great thing about Fronius inverters is that they perform self-diagnosis which automatically informs the owner about the problem immediately. Fronius inverter models have different fault and error codes. These codes are categorized as:

  • Class 1 which is a momentary problem and probably caused by the public grid
  • Class 3 which are usually problems in feeding energy to the grid but only for a short period of time
  • Class 4 which already needs the intervention of an accredited solar installer or engineer
  • Class 5 which do not generally interfere with energy feeding but may cause some restrictions

Error Code 314

Error Code 314 on a Fronius inverter means that there is a current sensor calibration timeout or there is an internal system error. Usually, this problem just fixes itself as the inverter repeats its startup routine. If the problem persists, you should contact us on (08) 7078-7620 to investigate the issue.

Error Code 509

Manual

If your Fronius inverter encounters Error Code or State Code 509, it means that there is no energy fed into the grid in the last 24 hours. There could be a lot of reasons for this and one of them is that the solar panels are covered in dirt. One of Anew Solar’s service is solar panel cleaning so you might want to contact us to solve this problem. If it still does not work, we will inspect your inverter further.

What’s The Procedure to Make a Warranty Claim?

Before claiming a warranty exchange or repair on your Fronius inverter, you should first contact your solar installer. If the warranty is approved, you need to present the following to be able to continue: Mathtype for mac catalina.

  • Proof of purchase that the inverter model was installed in less than five years
  • The serial number of the Fronius product
  • Installation report

What Can I Do If I’m Out of Warranty?

If your Fronius inverter is out of warranty and something is needed to be replaced, there is still a chance that some parts can be repaired. Otherwise, it might be better to replace the old inverter with a new one for the better. If there are too many parts that needed replacing, it might cost you less when you buy a new inverter.

Fronius Inverter Troubleshooting & Repairs

Fronius Manual Instructions

There are common problems that Fronius solar inverter users have encountered. Below are some examples and how you can fix it:

Low PV Voltage

A Fronius inverter suffering from State Code or Error Code 307 probably has a low PV voltage. This error code usually appears in the morning or in the evening due to low solar exposure. It will correct itself immediately as soon as there is sufficient solar radiance.

Inverter is Offline

When your inverter displays offline, the problem might not lie on the inverter itself but on the network or router that it is connected to. Try resetting the router and see if the problem is resolved.

Strange Noise

One of the cons of a Fronius inverter is that it tends to become noisy especially when it is working at its peak or in the morning or afternoon when the inverter is turning on or shutting down although it is not a big problem. If there is one, it will likely show the fault code and the fault light will be displayed. If the fault light is still during normal usage, you should try resetting the inverter.
