Australia's Big Battery Rebate is Coming - Here's How Your Fronius GEN24 is Already Ready

You made a smart choice — now make it even smarter.

When you chose a Fronius GEN24 inverter, you made a smart investment in your energy future. What you might not know is that your system was designed with even more possibilities in mind. From the beginning, your GEN24 has always had the capability to be easily upgraded to hybrid inverter to connect a home battery, giving you greater energy independence, more savings, and more control over how and when you use your power.

Why now is the perfect time to upgrade.

From July 2025, the Australian Federal Government is expected to introduce the Cheaper Home Batteries Program which aims to significantly reduce the cost of purchasing and installing home batteries by approximately 30% for all Aussie households. That means even more savings when you add a battery to your existing solar system.

And the best part? Your GEN24 is already compatible. A simple software upgrade is all it takes to make your system battery-ready. There’s no need for a new inverter or major changes to your setup.

By upgrading, you’ll be ready to:

Take full advantage of the upcoming battery rebates
Store your own solar energy to use day and night*
Reduce your reliance on the grid and rising electricity costs*
Progress closer to energy bills closer to $0**

*Applicable when a home battery is installed following the upgrade.

**Applicable when a battery is installed following the upgrade and subject to individual energy usage, system size and battery setup.
