Fronius Reserva Battery in Geelong

A modular home battery from 6.3 kWh to 15.8 kWh, supplied and installed by your local Geelong team

What Is the Fronius Reserva?

The Fronius Reserva is a high-voltage lithium iron phosphate (LFP) home battery that connects directly to your solar system through a compatible Fronius hybrid inverter, such as the GEN24 Plus. Because it is DC-coupled, your solar energy goes into the battery without an extra conversion step, which is why it can reach around 95% battery efficiency.

It is modular. You start with two modules (6.3 kWh) and the tower grows up to five modules (15.8 kWh) as your needs change. Paired with the Fronius Backup Controller, it can also keep your home running during a blackout.

If you already have, or plan to install, a Fronius inverter, the Reserva is the battery designed to go with it.

How Long Will a Fronius Reserva Run My Home?

The honest answer depends on what you’re running. Pick your average household load to see roughly how many hours each size lasts, whether that’s an evening off the grid or a blackout.

How we worked this out. Battery capacity divided by average load, so 6.31 kWh at 1 kW is about 6.3 hours. Real runtime is a little shorter because of usable capacity, battery charge level and inverter limits, and longer if your solar is still generating. Blackout backup also needs the Fronius Backup Controller. We’ll check your actual usage at the site visit. Estimates only.

A Day With a Fronius Reserva

A battery changes when you use your solar, not how much your panels produce. On a typical day the Reserva works like this:

  • Morning: solar powers the house as the sun comes up, so you draw little or nothing from the grid.
  • Midday: spare solar fills the battery instead of being exported for a small feed-in credit.
  • Evening: your home runs on the energy stored earlier, instead of paying peak rates.
  • Blackout: with the Fronius Backup Controller fitted, the battery keeps your home running.

Is the Fronius Reserva Right for You?

It’s a great fit if you

  • Already have a Fronius GEN24 Plus inverter, or are installing a new solar system
  • Want a battery you can grow from 6.3 kWh to 15.8 kWh later
  • Want blackout backup through the Fronius Backup Controller
  • Prefer one brand, one app (Fronius Solar.web) and one warranty chain

Check with us first if you

  • Have a non-Fronius inverter. The Reserva is designed for Fronius hybrid inverters, so you may need an inverter change
  • Have a small wall space. A 15.8 kWh tower is 1.64 m tall and 187 kg
  • Only want a very low upfront cost. A smaller battery may suit your budget better
  • Need more than 15.8 kWh. We can talk you through the Reserva Pro range

Not sure which camp you’re in? We check your inverter, switchboard and installation location at a free site visit and quote a fixed price.

What’s Included in a Reserva Install

  • Fronius Reserva battery modules, delivered and installed
  • Connection to your Fronius hybrid inverter
  • Electrical compliance certificate
  • Rebate and STC paperwork where you’re eligible
  • Fronius Solar.web monitoring set up on your phone
  • Optional Fronius Backup Controller for blackout protection

Things that can change your quote: a switchboard upgrade, a longer cable run, a new inverter, or a wall or floor that needs extra support. We check all of these at the site visit, so your written quote is fixed.

Reserva or Reserva Pro?

Most Geelong homes are well served by the standard Reserva. The Pro range is for bigger energy needs.

  • Choose the Reserva if you want a compact tower that you can grow from 6.3 to 15.8 kWh, for a typical family home.
  • Ask about the Reserva Pro if you have a large home, run a lot of power in the evening, or want a small business backed up.

Fronius Reserva FAQs

How much does a Fronius Reserva cost in Geelong?

The price depends on the battery size, your inverter, your switchboard and where the battery is mounted. We give you a fixed written quote after a free site visit, with any rebates you’re eligible for already applied.

What sizes does the Fronius Reserva come in?

The Reserva comes in four sizes: 6.3 kWh (2 modules), 9.5 kWh (3 modules), 12.6 kWh (4 modules) and 15.8 kWh (5 modules). It is modular, so you can add modules later if your needs grow.

Does the Fronius Reserva work in a blackout?

Yes, when it’s installed with the Fronius Backup Controller and a compatible Fronius hybrid inverter. How long it lasts depends on the battery size and what you’re running. A 12.6 kWh Reserva running about 1 kW of load lasts roughly 12 hours, before solar is counted.

Which inverters work with the Fronius Reserva?

The Reserva is a DC-coupled battery designed for Fronius hybrid inverters, such as the GEN24 Plus. If you have a different brand of inverter, we’ll check whether you need an inverter change or a different battery.

How long is the Fronius Reserva warranty?

The Reserva carries a standard 10-year warranty in Australia. Terms and conditions apply, so ask us for the current warranty document.

Can I get a rebate on a Fronius Reserva?

You may be eligible for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount, which is applied to the price at installation. The amount changes over time, so we confirm the current figure and your eligibility in your written quote.

Can I add more modules to my Reserva later?

Yes. The tower can grow from two modules up to five, which is 6.3 kWh to 15.8 kWh. Tell us at the site visit if you plan to expand so we leave enough space and set up the electrical side correctly.
