Renon and Fronius have developed a new DC-coupled solution for uninterrupted power in residential photovoltaic systems by pairing technologies. Together, the Fronius GEN24 and Fronius GEN24 Plus solar inverters (3.8-10.0 kW) paired with the Renon Xtreme HV 1.0 battery energy systems (9.6, 14.4, and 19.2 kWh) are fully certified to UL 9540, a fire safety code for residential energy storage projects.

“Fronius USA is thrilled to collaborate with Renon to announce the complete capability of the Fronius GEN24 Plus solar inverter and the Renon Xtreme HV 1.0 solar battery, which delivers an intelligent, efficient, and future-ready energy independence that homeowners desire, “ said Chris Connell, head of solutions for Fronius USA.
This inverter-battery combination is a high-voltage DC-coupled energy storage system with a 10-year warranty on both products. The new battery will obe available in North America starting February 12.
The Renon Xtreme HV 1.0 has a high-voltage range of 192–384 V that minimizes transmission losses. Its modular design supports two to four stacked modules with dynamic current equalization. The system features smart management WiFi connectivity, an energy management system (EMS) and a battery optimizer rated for up to 8,000 cycles.
“Homeowners want flexibility without compromising battery performance,” said Paul Buckwalter, Renon USA owner & CEO. “Furthermore, they can secure that with Renon Xtreme HV 1.0’s high-efficient and high-voltage energy storage that’s ready to deliver 8,000 cycles for energy output and can be paired seamlessly to the Fronius GEN24 Plus.”
Renon’s apps, Renon Smart and Renon Cloud, provide monitoring and management for home energy storage, tracking real-time performance and energy generation/consumption. Fronius GEN24 can be upgraded to a GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter with a software UP.storage update via the Fronius Solar.web app. The system features active cooling technology and shade monitoring. Every Fronius GEN24 comes standard with built-in basic backup power via the integrated PV Point by powering a dedicated 15-A GFCI outlet – even without a battery connected.
Fronius and Renon will be showing the new inverter-storage pairing at Intersolar & Energy Storage North America in San Diego from February 18 to 20. Fronius will be at booth #4235 and Renon at booth #3727.
