Company Info

GoodWe was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Suzhou, China. Recognising Australia as a key solar market, the firm began shipping inverters here in 2012. GoodWe expanded its product portfolio to include energy storage solutions in 2020, and Australia was one of the first markets where they were made available.

GoodWe Solar Battery Range

Currently, GoodWe offers several different home battery lines under the Lynx banner for residential applications in Australia. They all utilise Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) chemistry, which is widely regarded as the safest of commercially available lithium-ion energy storage technologies.

All GoodWe Lynx batteries have a temperature operating range of charge: 0 ~ +50C and discharge: -20 ~ +50C. Unlike some solar batteries, the Lynx will automatically reboot after going into self-protection mode due to under-voltage. Backup functionality for Lynx is available when paired with a compatible GoodWe hybrid inverter.

Lynx Home U Series

The Lynx Home U Series is a low voltage modular, scaleable system offering "plug & play" capabilities when used with a GoodWe hybrid inverter (and that's the only type of inverter it's compatible with). As it's a modular system, you can add storage modules as required. Each module has 5.4 kWh capacity (4.8kW useable) and up to 6 modules can be stacked in a single unit for a total useable capacity of 32.4kWh.

In terms of power, the Lynx Home U offers 2.56 kW for the base unit with one module, but that doubles to 5.14 kW when extra modules are added. The Lynx Home U can be wall/floor-mounted. 

Lynx Home F Series

The Lynx Home F Series is a high voltage battery compatible with GoodWe BH/EH/BT/ET inverters and available in capacities ranging from 6.6kWh to 16.4kWh. Also a modular system, the Lynx Home F Series provides 5.12 kW to 12.80 kW power depending on the configuration used.

Lynx F G2 Series

Lynx F G2 is another modular high-voltage battery system. The base model is 6.4 kWh, which can be expanded to 28.8 kWh in a single tower using 3.2kWh modules. Additionally, it can be expanded to 8 towers (230 kWh) through parallel connection. Nominal power is 4.48 kW for the base model, up to a whopping 20.16 kW for a 28.8 kWh stack. The Lynx F G2 is only compatible with GoodWe BH/EH/BT/ET inverters.

ESA  All-In-One

In May 2025, GoodWe took the wraps off its new single-phase ESA all-in-one battery system; the second-generation in this series. Offering capacities of 3-10 kW/5-48 kWh, 5  kWh or 8 kWh battery modules are used with the ESA, with up to six modules per stack.

It has multiple layers of safety mechanisms, including aerosol fire suppression and AI-driven AFCI 3.0 arc fault detection and prevention. The new ESA batteries offer 63 A backup support and a <4ms switching time to backup.

SolarQuotes' resident veteran installer Anthony Bennett has spoken to a few electricians who have installed the first ESA units in Australia. He says GoodWe have used quite a few good concepts from competitors and introduced them along with their own innovations.

The ESA range was approved for use in Australia in July 2025 — we've published further details on the new GoodWe ESA all-in-one here.

GoodWe Solar Battery Warranty Details

GoodWe batteries are accompanied by a 10-year product warranty and a 10-year performance warranty. The performance coverage warrants that the battery system retains either seventy percent of usable energy for ten years, or for a minimum level of energy throughput (whichever comes first); which varies depending on the model and configuration.

It's important to note that one of the warranty conditions is a GoodWe battery must be installed in an area not exposed to direct sunlight.
