Finn's Afore New Energy Technology Shanghai Inverters Review & Verdict
Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO
Afore has been on the Australian solar scene for quite a while. They offer comparatively cheap inverters, but we've had some mixed reviews over the years regarding quality and support. An inverter being the real workhorse of a system, it's not something you should cut corners on.
Afore inverters also have a relatively short warranty of just 5 years. Most of the inverter brands I recommend – even the budget brands – now offer 10 years.
Afore New Energy Technology Shanghai Inverters: Pros & Cons
- Very cheap
- Short warranty - 5 years.

Company Info
Early on in its history, Afore launched its first-generation PV string inverter, which had the distinction of being used in the first residential PV project in Shanghai. By 2014, Afore's annual production capacity reached 1 GW, and the company had already started exporting products into Australia.
In 2015, Afore released lightweight three-phase PV string inverters followed by higher power single-phase PV string inverters the following year. By the end of 2017, the firm had introduced string inverters up to 60kW in capacity and in 2018, its first hybrid inverters were unveiled.
Details of the company's activities and growth since are scant, but obviously Afore has continued to power on.

The company has single-phase, three-phase, and hybrid residential inverters and details can be found on the Afore website.
Warranty Information
Afore's standard factory warranty is for 5 years from the date of installation, and no more than 5 and a half years from the delivery date from the company.
