Fronius expands inverter partnership program to simplify field service
Fronius USA has announced an updated partner program, offering exclusive benefits and specialized trainings aimed at elevating the quality of solar installation, service and support customers receive when using Fronius Solar Energy products.
The new Fronius partner program, set for debut on June 3, 2024, is designed to equip solar installers and technicians with the knowledge and skills needed to professionally sell and safely install and repair Fronius solar products. At the core of the program is Fronius’ commitment to providing partners with comprehensive product training and essential resources to effectively implement Fronius solar solutions. Fronius recognizes the rapid growth of the solar industry and is committed to the education of emerging solar companies. The company also understands that as a growing number of solar inverters reach the end of their warranty period, there is an increasing demand for companies to service or repower aging systems to maintain optimum performance.
That’s why Fronius has crafted a three-tier partner program tailored to suit technicians and installation companies at every level, catering not just to skilled installers proficient in Fronius technologies, but to both novice solar companies and those specializing in operations, repair and maintenance of residential or commercial solar systems. All levels must fulfill criteria to become a partner, alongside meeting annual benchmarks to maintain partnership status, while reaping benefits such as exclusive service work, parts ordering, Fronius support and much more.
Service Authorized Installer
Recognizing the increasing demand for PV servicing, Fronius introduced the Service Authorized Installer program. This partnership, dedicated to in-field repairs, requires minimal criteria for enrollment, receiving the benefit of access to exclusive service components unavailable to non-partners.
Fronius Trained Installer
As the solar industry sees a rise in new companies, education on products, installation, repair, safety and changes to industry codes and standards is a necessity. As a Fronius Trained Installer, comprehensive trainings are offered, both in-person and online, for aspiring professionals as they embark on their solar journey, or those looking to expand their Fronius installation portfolio on their path to becoming a Fronius Solutions Partner.
Fronius Solutions Partner
With a global network of over 5,000 solar installers and technicians, Fronius Solutions Partners play a pivotal role in Fronius’ mission to advance renewable energy solutions worldwide. Through collaboration with Fronius, they gain access to benefits achieved by meeting annual criteria, using Fronius technologies and maintaining high standards by actively engaging in technical trainings. In return for their commitment to excellence, Fronius Solutions Partners are empowered with exclusive service work, customer leads, spare parts ordering abilities, complimentary premium digital services, prioritized technical support, early access to new product training, marketing and sales tools and much more.
Annual criteria to remain partner and receive these benefits can range from number of Fronius installations, use of Fronius digital tools, attending webinars, technical trainings and Fronius presentations or demonstrations, or completing online E-Academy courses. Each of these activities earns training credits, making achieving performance and educational benchmarks easy.
Fronius is expanding its partner program not just to increase the number of installers using Fronius products, but also to broaden the geographic availability of solar technicians for PV system owners seeking servicing in their vicinity.
