A PV point on a Fronius solar inverter is a basic backup power feature that provides electricity during a grid outage — even without a battery.

Here’s how it works:

🔌 What is the PV Point?

• It’s a dedicated outlet (power socket) connected directly to the inverter.

• During a grid failure, the inverter automatically switches to supply power to that socket, as long as the sun is shining and the PV system is generating power.

⚙️ How it Works:

1. Normal Operation (Grid On):

o The PV system generates power for the home.

o Excess power goes to the grid or charges a battery (if installed).

2. Grid Failure (No Battery Installed):

o Most inverters shut down for safety — but not Fronius GEN24.

o The PV Point kicks in and provides up to 3kW of power directly to the socket, as long as the sun is shining.

o This is an isolated circuit — it won’t power your whole house, only what’s plugged into the PV Point outlet.

⚠️ Key Points to Remember:

• You need sunlight for the PV Point to work (no sun = no power).

• It won’t power your whole house — only a small outlet.

• Great for charging phones, running a small fridge, router, kettle, etc.
