Is your Fronius inverter no longer producing data? Let’s get that back for you with the PSW Energy Fronius Inverter WiFi Reconnect guide. The great news is that this is often only ever a minor issue. Chances are the solar energy system is still producing power, you simply can’t see this information being logged anymore through the Fronius Solar.web portal.
Important: this post is pending an update. If you cannot reconnect your Fronius Inverter and are a PSW Energy customer, please contact PSW Life Support in the meantime.
Applies to: Fronius Primo & Symo (legacy display) and the newer GEN24 / new Primo & Symo interface.
Estimated time: 5–10 minutes
You’ll need: A smartphone, your home Wi‑Fi name/password (2.4 GHz only), access to the inverter.

- On your phone, join the inverter network FRONIUS_240XXXXXX / Fronius_xxxxxx. If prompted, the AP password is usually Solar123 or Psw12345.
- In your browser go to 192.168.250.181.
- Legacy UI: Settings → Network → Internet via WLAN → WLAN Settings → Refresh → select your 2.4 GHz home Wi‑Fi → enter password → Save → ✔ tick to confirm.
- New UI (GEN24 / new Primo & Symo): Menu (≡) → Communication → log in User: Customer / Password: Customer1 → Menu (≡) → Network → WLAN → choose home Wi‑Fi → enter password → Save. Wait until the red LED turns off.
