But after registering the device in Fronius Solar.web &#8211; the company&#8217;s monitoring platform &#8211; you&#8217;d get another 5 years. But this extra 5 years only covered parts.<\/p>\n<p>From the 1st of October 2024 until the 31st of December next year, eligible Fronius inverter owners can claim an additional 5 years of Fronius Warranty Plus at no cost. Eligible inverters include the SnapINverter family (Primo\/Symo), GEN24, GEN24 Plus and Tauro inverter ranges.<\/p>\n<p>To take advantage of this offer, the inverter must be installed within the promotion period and the system registered online at Solar.web within 24 months of that date. You&#8217;ll then be able to claim the additional 5-year Fronius Warranty Plus from the application and also download the warranty extension certificate.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had an 8.2 kW Fronius Primo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fronius-snapinverter-mb2917\/\">SnapINverter<\/a> for the last couple of years and I&#8217;ve been happy with its performance. The only niggle has been installing firmware updates, which I&#8217;ve found to be time-consuming and somewhat hit and miss &#8211; at times requiring several attempts. And one of the warranty conditions is to keep it updated.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing to be aware of is the SnapINverter range has a rather noisy fan; particularly on hotter days. Installing one of these near a window of a living area is best avoided. However, the newer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fronius-gen24-review\/\">GEN24 range<\/a> may have a bigger fan, but I&#8217;m told they are much quieter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/fronius-review.html\">Fronius inverters<\/a> are at the pricey<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fronius-warranty-boost-mb3022\/#en-87361-1' id='enref-87361-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(87361)'>1<\/a><\/sup> end of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/#best-inverters\">inverter brands currently recommended<\/a> by SolarQuotes, but I feel it&#8217;s money well spent given how hard an inverter has to work.<\/p>\n<p>In this year&#8217;s SolarQuotes Installers Choice Awards, Fronius scored gold for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-solar-inverters-2024\/\">best inverters in 2024<\/a>, marking the fourth year in a row it&#8217;s won this category. The firm also scooped bronze in the budget inverter category (although they aren&#8217;t budget-priced) and gold in a new category &#8211; support.<\/p>\n<h2>Fronius Wattpilot Warranty Boost<\/h2>\n<p>The company also manufactures a nifty EV charger called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/reviews\/fronius-review.html\">Fronius Wattpilot<\/a>. One of its standout features is when used with a compatible Fronius solar inverter and smart meter, the Wattpilot enables an EV to be charged with surplus solar power.<\/p>\n<p>One of the drawbacks of the Wattpilot was its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fronius-wattpilot-review\/\">rather lacklustre warranty<\/a> &#8211; just 2 years. But according to Fronius Australia, that&#8217;s been boosted to 3 years for units installed from August 1 2024 to 31 December 2025. I wasn&#8217;t able to find the extended warranty document on the Fronius Australia website, so be sure to get hold of it before you make a purchase decision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;-<br \/>\n<strong>Update October 8<\/strong> &#8211; Fronius contacted me, pointing out the extended warranty document for the Wattpilot (and inverters) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fronius.com\/~\/downloads\/Solar%20Energy\/Terms%20of%20Warranties\/SE_ToW_EN.pdf\">can be found here<\/a> (Australia specific &#8211; Section 12).<br \/>\n&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using a Wattpilot (22J) with our BYD Atto 3 for around 18 months now and have found it to be a great little unit. Again, it&#8217;s at the more expensive end of the range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fronius-wattpilot-review\/\">home EV chargers available in Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this year&#8217;s SQ Installers Choice Awards, the Wattpilot took out gold for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-ev-chargers-2024\/\">best EV charger in 2024<\/a> (money no object category) and silver for support.<\/p>\n<p>Fronius&#8217;s focus is on quality &#8211; so it&#8217;s nice to see their warranties starting to better match that focus; particularly since it is expensive gear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austrian solar manufacturer Fronius has boosted the warranty on its Wattpilot EV charger and also selected solar inverters for new installations for a limited time;
