Inverter and energy storage manufacturer GoodWe has introduced a new iteration of its three-phase ET high voltage hybrid inverter for AU and NZ markets – the ET G2.
The original ET is available in capacities of 5, 6, 8 and 10kW, and 15, 20, 25 and 29.9kW models. The ET G2 range offers 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15kW capacities, with three MPPTs for the 10kW, 12kW and 15kW units (two for the 6kW and 8kW).
Other features include smart load control and 100% unbalanced output, and inclusion of a smart meter. Maximum efficiency is 98% – 98.2% depending on the model. Measuring 496 × 460 × 221mm, the ET G2 weighs in at 23kg – 25kg; significantly lighter than its predecessor.
According to GoodWe, the ET G2 is capable of 200% DC oversizing, but this ET G2 datasheet states it’s up to 160%. DC oversizing is where the solar panel array has a greater capacity than maximum inverter output. This is particularly handy in maximising output in less than optimal solar conditions and is a common (and recommended) practice. While there is a rule for maximum DC oversizing of 133% in Australia; that’s in relation to grid-connected solar PV systems without storage.
In terms of battery compatibility and in addition to GoodWe’s home batteries such as most high-voltage Lynx models, the ET G2 is compatible with selected models from BYD, Pylon and Dyness.
“GoodWe offers the largest range of inverter products on the market, and the ET G2 now strengthens our growing range of energy storage solutions, from 6kW to 30kW three-phase systems with paralleling capabilities,” said Country Manager Australia and New Zealand Dean Williamson.
The “largest range” claim may not be just puffery – checking the Clean Energy Council approved inverters list indicates more than 120 current GoodWe entries.
While we don’t have the ET G2 listed just yet, you can compare specs with other devices on SolarQuotes’ hybrid inverter comparison table.
Lynx F G2 Battery Approved In AU
In its announcement, the company also mentioned GoodWe’s high-voltage Lynx F G2 battery storage system was recently approved by the CEC.
“The Lynx F G2 now requires only two modules (6.4kWh) as a minimum, offering greater flexibility and efficiency for homeowners,” the firm said. “With backup power activation in under 10 milliseconds, the Lynx F G2 ensures essential loads remain operational during outages. Its IP66 rating and scalable modular design make it a practical and durable solution for both residential and small business installations.”
The Lynx F G2 is available in a capacity range of 6.4 kWh to 28.8 kWh and further expansion is possible through parallel connection of up to 8 stacks. You can check out specs and approximate pricing of some Lynx F G2 models and compare them with other brands on SQ’s home battery comparison table.
GoodWe Enjoys Ongoing Success In Australia
Founded in China in 2010, GoodWe kicked off its Australian presence in 2012, starting with just three members of staff. The company’s Australian office is situated in Rowville, Victoria.
GoodWe’s solar inverters have been popular among Australians installing home solar power systems due to their feature set, reliability and comparatively low pricing point. GoodWe inverter reviews here on SQ have averaged 4.7 stars overall from more than 2,400 customer ratings, and 4.8 stars over the last 12 months (625 ratings).
The brand is currently listed on SolarQuotes’ recommended inverter chart. And in this year’s SQ Installers Choice Awards, GoodWe scored silver in the best inverters of 2024 best value category (bronze in 2023)
The company was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2020, and to date the firm has shipped more than 71 GW inverter capacity to over 100 countries.
