\"SolarEdge<\/p>\n

Solar manufacturers Sungrow and SolarEdge are still offering inverter trade-in (or up) programs in Australia when upgrading their systems to new hybrid inverters and\/or batteries from the respective firms. Here’s how the schemes work and what you can get.<\/p>\n

Sungrow Inverter Trade-In Offer<\/h2>\n

Originally launched in late June 2025, Sungrow’s initiative enables Australian customers to swap their existing Sungrow inverters<\/a> via the company’s certified installer network to receive rebates for upgrading to the firm’s latest-generation hybrid inverter and Sungrow battery systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dozens of older Sungrow inverter models are eligible for the scheme<\/a>, with trade-in values ranging from $500 for 2 kW inverters to $1,700 for some 20 kW units. The list includes the SG5K-D ($800 trade-in) and SG8K-D (\u200a$1,000 trade-in), which have exceeded installations of 100,000 units each in Australia according to the firm.<\/p>\n

Rebates are issued after the new system is installed, the trade-in units are returned and received, and all documents have been reviewed and approved by Sungrow. A Sungrow certified installer manages the entire trade-in process, from the submission of the application to the return of the trade-in and application of credit.<\/p>\n

Currently a pilot program, Sungrow may make it a long-term initiative depending on results. Further details can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As at June 2025, 870 GW of Sungrow power electronic converters have been installed worldwide, and the company claims deployment of more than 400,000 residential systems in Australia.<\/p>\n

“As one of the first company-led trade-in initiatives in Australia’s residential energy sector, the program helps establish a closed-loop model covering energy consumption, product use, recycling, and regeneration,” states the firm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

SolarEdge Inverter TradeUp Deal<\/h2>\n

SolarEdge’s TradeUp program<\/a> has been around for quite a while.\u00a0TradeUp is currently available when adding a single- or 3-phase SolarEdge Home Battery<\/a> & Backup Interface to an existing SolarEdge single-phase or residential three-phase system.<\/p>\n

Under the program, an existing eligible SolarEdge inverter<\/a> can be traded-up to a new single- or three-phase 10 kW \u2014 or 5 kW if preferred \u2014 Home Hub Universal Inverter at no cost, which will come with a fresh 12-year inverter warranty.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, an older SolarEdge residential 3-phase inverter can be replaced with two new single-phase inverters<\/a> (Home Hub and Genesis) as part of the TradeUp program to meet inverter capacity phase imbalance requirements specified by Distributed Network Service Providers (DNSPs) in some states and regions.<\/p>\n

How much longer TradeUp will be around for isn’t clear. Back in 2024, the company said it was available until December 31, 2025, or until 1,000 inverters had been exchanged; but that may have changed since.<\/p>\n

In related news, late last month SolarEdge announced its Home Hub Universal 3-Phase 10kW Inverter and new stackable DC-coupled modular 3-phase battery are slated for Clean Energy Council (CEC) listing this month according to the firm, with shipments beginning mid-November.<\/p>\n
