Huawei solar batteries reviews

China's Huawei has been in the solar components game for a long time. It is the world's largest manufacturer of solar inverters and has more recently turned its hand to manufacturing solar batteries.

Huawei's Luna battery range has been available in Australia since around May 2021. It's a modular battery system expandable from 5kWh to 15kWh storage capacity (and beyond with a parallel installation).

As for power, the single module 5kWh unit offers 2.5kW power output and two modules (so 10kWh) provides 5kW - and that's as far as it goes; i.e; the 3 module system (15kWh) is still limited to 5kW of power.

One of the advantages of Huawei's modular system is if a single module develops an issue, the battery can still operate on the other module/s.

The Huawei Luna's battery chemistry is lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4); often described as the safest lithium chemistry. However, battery safety is as much about other aspects as it is about the chemistry of the cells. It's for this (and other reasons) it's wise to purchase a home battery manufactured by a well-known and established brand; such as Huawei.

Battery + Installation Cost

For ease of installation and to keep acquisition costs down, you'll need a compatible Huawei inverter. Assuming you have one, you may be able to get a 10 kilowatt-hour Luna installed for under $10,000. But it's important to note that price doesn't include the Huawei Backup Box, which is needed if you wish to have backup power in case of a blackout.

The SQ View On Huawei Home Batteries

Given Huawei has enough experience in electronics manufacturing to build a reliable battery system - and a high probability of still being around to fix problems if they emerge - a Huawei battery probably represents a low-risk investment.

Additionally, the company has a solid presence in Australia, meaning should you run into issues or just have general enquiries, assistance isn't far away.

Huawei is currently listed on our recommended home battery brands chart.
