Fronius Inverters

Fronius have been manufacturing welding equipment, chargers and transformers since the 1940s. During this time, they created inverter technology so advanced that it led to key breakthroughs in this field.

In the mid-90s, they began using this inverter technology for solar applications, winning an Austrian innovation prize for their Sunrise solar inverter in 1997 and for their standalone sine-wave inverter, the Solarix, in 1999. In 2001, Fronius launched its highly successful IG inverter range, winning yet another award in Austria when they were released and also the Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award later in 2008.

These inverters were a benchmark for solar inverters all over the world, and are only just being phased out after nearly 15 years in the field. From this rich history of reliability, innovation and service, the new SnapINverter generation from Fronius was born.
