Imagine never losing power during an outage, even without a bulky battery system. That's the promise of Fronius USA's groundbreaking new device, PV Point Comfort. But here's where it gets exciting: this innovative solution harnesses the power of your existing solar inverter to provide backup energy, keeping your essential appliances running when the grid goes down.
Fronius USA (https://www.fronius.com/en-us/usa) has just unveiled PV Point Comfort, a game-changer for homeowners seeking reliable backup power without the hassle and expense of traditional battery storage. Building upon the success of their base model, PV Point, this upgraded version delivers uninterrupted energy during daylight hours, directly from your solar panels.
And this is the part most people miss: When the grid fails, PV Point Comfort seamlessly switches to backup mode, powering critical circuits that keep your life running smoothly. Think routers for internet connectivity, refrigerators to preserve food, or even outdoor lighting for safety.
The beauty of PV Point Comfort lies in its simplicity. It installs directly onto an additional circuit board within your existing Fronius GEN24 or GEN24 Plus inverter, eliminating the need for complex rewiring or additional space. This makes it an ideal retrofit solution for homeowners already enjoying the benefits of Fronius solar systems.
But is battery-free backup truly the future? While traditional battery systems offer extended storage, PV Point Comfort’s direct solar-to-circuit approach provides a cost-effective and space-saving alternative for daytime outages.
