About GoodWe
GoodWe makes residential solar and hybrid inverters, home batteries and an EV charger. It suits homeowners who want a mainstream brand with a free monitoring app.
The monitoring platform is cost-free to use. The standard inverter warranty is 5 years, and eligible on-grid models can reach 10 years if the registration and connection conditions are met. It suits owners who will keep the system online and choose a careful installer.

GoodWe warranty in plain terms
To keep the GoodWe warranty valid, use a careful installer, keep the system connected to Wi-Fi and report any fault within one month. We register your system at commissioning and handle claims for you as your installer.

Things to know before you buy
Pros
A full residential range sits under one app. The range covers single-phase and three-phase solar, hybrid, AC-coupled retrofit and battery products, all monitored in the one app.
Battery value is worth comparing per warranted kWh. Comparing cost per warranted kWh of storage is a fair way to weigh GoodWe against other battery brands.
The inverter restarts itself after a grid dip. It reboots automatically after an under-voltage cutout, which helps if the grid briefly dips.
Backup is available on hybrid and storage products. Switching to backup is quick when backup is wired in.
One free app covers your whole system. The monitoring app handles the inverter, the battery and a GoodWe EV charger from one screen.
Things to consider
The 10-year inverter warranty is conditional. Eligible on-grid models must be registered with GoodWe after 1 January 2021 and the other promotion conditions met. We register at commissioning; keeping the Wi-Fi online is your part.
Older Lynx batteries only pair with certain GoodWe inverters. If you are adding storage to an existing GoodWe inverter, we check compatibility at the assessment.
Installer choice matters. A poor install can void the warranty under the exclusion for faulty installation, and claims start with the installer, so pick one you can get on the phone in a few years.
What a GoodWe installation involves
On-site assessment and switchboard check
We visit the property and inspect the existing solar system, the switchboard and the space for the inverter or battery. Any switchboard upgrade needed is identified and quoted up front.
Compatibility and backup wiring choice
We check whether your existing inverter can work with a battery directly or whether a hybrid or AC-coupled retrofit is the better path. If you want blackout backup, we walk through which circuits stay on, because a battery only supplies power during a blackout if it is wired for backup.
Installation day
Technicians mount the inverter and battery in a shaded, ventilated position, fit isolators and route the cabling between the array, inverter, battery and switchboard.
Network approval and commissioning
The install is documented to meet Australian standards and the local network requirements (Western Power in the Perth metropolitan area, with Synergy for the retail side). Commissioning for home batteries includes AS/NZS 5139.
Warranty registration and app walkthrough
We register the system on the GoodWe SEMS portal so the warranty conditions are met, connect the monitoring, and show you how to read the app.
GoodWe questions Perth homeowners ask
How good are GoodWe inverters?
Reviewers generally rate the current generation well on value. Features like automatic reboot after an under-voltage cutout are useful day to day.
Which solar inverter is best in Australia?
There is no single best: the right one depends on single or three phase, system size, and whether you want a battery or backup. We match the GoodWe series to those answers.
How long do GoodWe inverters last?
The standard warranty is 5 years, extendable to 10 years on eligible on-grid models if the promotion conditions are met. Service life depends on a careful install and keeping the unit shaded and ventilated.
Who manufactures GoodWe batteries?
GoodWe makes its own residential battery range for Australia, including the Lynx D G2, Lynx F G2, Lynx U G3, Lynx Home U and the ESA single-phase storage system.
