Fronius GEN24 with BYD battery is now a listed ESS in California
The California Energy Commission (CEC) officially added the Fronius GEN24 hybrid solar inverter to its Energy Storage System (ESS) listing when paired with the BYD-HVM battery solution.
“With the CEC ESS official listing, the Fronius GEN24 has been recognized as an approved top choice for energy storage in California, delivering exceptional quality, efficiency, and reliability for the state’s evolving energy market,” said Richard Baldinger, Director of Sales & Marketing Business Unit Solar Energy at Fronius USA.
GEN24 and BYD overview
The CEC approved listing covers the Fronius GEN24 and GEN24 Plus models (3.8kW, 5.0kW, 6.0kW, 7.7kW, and 10.0kW), which are now approved for use with BYD’s energy storage capacities (11.0kWh, 13.8kWh, 16.6kWh, and 19.3kWh).
The Fronius GEN24 and BYD HVM system can now be installed together in California, as well as in other utility markets that have adopted the CEC listing outside of the state of California. The Fronius GEN24 with BYD-HVM combination can now be found on the CEC’s official list under Shenzhen BYD Electronics Co., Ltd., with all available GEN24 inverter sizes listed above referencing each model number.
CEC Approval
The CEC’s ESS listing is a certification in California, a state known for its high standards commitment to renewable energy and energy efficiency. The 2-step criteria to apply for the certification includes:
