Finn's Huawei Batteries Review & Verdict

Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO

Huawei used to be on my recommended home batteries list. The only reason it was removed is that Huawei batteries are no longer sold here. The good news: the Australian-owned iStore is. The iStore battery is compatible with Huawei batteries and made by Huawei, but sold and supported by SolarGain, who are headquartered in Perth.

Huawei Batteries: Pros & Cons

  • Backed by a huge company
  • Comparatively affordable
  • Good quality
  • No longer sold in Australia (but the fully compatible iStore is)
  • Short warranty on backup box

Company Info

Founded in 1987 by a former deputy director of the People's Liberation Army engineering corps, Huawei is headquartered in China's Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong province. The company boasts more than 207,000 employees and operate in over 170 countries and regions. It has dipped its toes into many waters - digital telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, smart devices and distributed operating systems.

Huawei Luna 2000 Battery 

The Huawei Luna 2000 battery was introduced to the Australian market in May 2021. It was a modular energy storage system designed for residential solar applications, with each module offering 5 kWh of storage capacity that could be stacked up to three units high, for a maximum capacity of 15 kWh per stack. However, two stacks could be connected in parallel, providing a maximum capacity of 30 kWh. 

Each 5 kWh module delivers up to 2.5 kW of continuous power, while while two or more can provide 5 kilowatts. An integrated energy optimizer manages each module independently. When paired with Huawei's backup box, this provides power capabilities during grid outages. 

The Luna 2000 was designed to integrate with Huawei's (and now iStore's) single-phase and three-phase hybrid inverters. 

You can read more about this solution in Ronald's Luna 2000 home battery review.

Warranty Information

As mentioned, Huawei is still supporting Australian owners with warranty remaining.

The warranty for the Luna 2000 power module is 10 years. Battery modules have a 10 year warranty or until 16,450 kilowatt-hours throughput energy (per module) is achieved; with allowable degradation down 60% of  original capacity at the end of 10 years. Backup Box warranty is only 2 years.

As above. Seamless pairing.
The slim form does not intrude in the garage nor does it create any impediments for cars.

10KW battery - does exactly what it says it does. Stores power and will let you use every last drop until zero if you set it to. My only regret, not buying another 5KW at the time of install.

Appears to be working well so far, but these are early days...

Working well and so happy that I got a battery.

Very happy with the whole system. Amazing to see how the battery, PV, Grid all work with our load (via the app). I had a small issue with the battery stopping at 15% left but fixed with a quick call (it was set to that on install), and now I am getting 100% discharge.
15Kwh system powers the house at night(2 people) for the majority of days in Perth. 7Kw solar array. Battery is normally full by midday. No backup power module. Cost was $2k for this and house experiences less than 1 blackout per year. So not worth it in my view. Cost savings on grid power use are around $1500/yr so payback on installation price is about 9 years assuming power costs remain static. However at the time of installation Bank interest on savings was around 1% so I reasoned that getting 10% plus on the battery investment was worthwhile if you had spare cash.
