About Goodwe, Solar Inverters

Goodwe solar inverters review
Goodwe is a SolarQuotes approved brand
What does this mean?

Goodwe Customer Service: 03 9918 3905

GoodWe (Jiangsu) Power Supply Technology Co. Ltd is a Chinese company founded by JXT and is supported by the Chinese Government.

The company specialises in the production of string solar inverters, with a power range between 1.5kW and 80kW. As well as single-phase and three-phase inverters, the company also manufactures inverter devices for use with energy storage.

More than 12GW of GoodWe solar inverter capacity has been installed in countries throughout the world, including Australia.

Australian customers will be glad to know there is a local GoodWe office in Glenroy (Victoria), so,should you have any specific question or issue, you can directly refer to them. Furthermore, the company has a pretty strong international profile, thanks to several other offices located in Germany, Netherlands and the UK.

GoodWe Inverter Warranty Notes

GoodWe solar inverters installed in Australia are accompanied by a 5 year product warranty, which is fairly standard among manufacturers. Depending on the model, the warranty can be extended to as long as 25 years, which is an incredibly long period for an inverter.

Regarding warranty claims, the installer who installed your Goodwe inverter is always the first to contact as it is their responsibility to remediate any warranty related issues.

However, in the case of the original installation company no longer being in business or are otherwise uncontactable, GoodWe customers are advised to contact  their customer warranty support directly on the number listed above. GoodWe will then handle the process of sourcing an installer, and arrange for replacement of the solar inverter.

No apparent problems. Only disappointment is that the grid operator shuts down the inverter when the grid voltage is too high, wasting energy that could be stored or otherwise better managed. Inverter is operating as expected based on data from its app and from the smart meter.

My inverter has Wi-Fi monitoring.
I'm sure many systems have this feature.
It is extremelyhandy I can see what my system is generating at any given time. As well as weekly monthly etc. My system is a 6.6kw system installedfor approx 9 months. Already it has given me electricity credits to about a 5th of my purchase price.
Still very happy with my system.

We have not had a single issue since getting our solar system installed in mid-2019. The system has generated more electricity than anticipated and our bills are now less than half what they were. Our inverter is quiet and been completely trouble free.

This is a compact and unobtrusive unit, with plenty of info available on the front panel as well as through online monitoring. Essential set up the online system, which is quite detailed. The online UX is a bit cheap-and-cheerful with a distinct Google Translate feel to the labelling and prompts. The quickstart guides and other printed matter are reasonably clear, but again with some translation problems - nothing you wouldn't expect from Chinese-made equipment, and certainly nothing that causes a major problem.

My 5kw system can produce 30kw total on a good day. Yesterday was hot 41c and cloudy it produced 18kw. Today 3pm rainy day it's 3kw on 3pm.

Inverter has stopped working four times over the course of one year. The company is unresponsive in getting back to their customer's in regards to when they will come out to fix the problem, and their main telephone number often rings out. After trying to reach their consultants numerous times, I tried to call the manager - no answer. He called back and ended up hanging up with call abruptly. He is rude and can barely speak English. I have never seen such poor form from a business, I am highly regretful this brand is used by any solar companies, and am filing a complaint with ACCC due to the lack of correspondence and loss we have suffered in regards to the inverter not working over an extensive period of time.

Goodwe is not the user friendly system. You have to understand how to use the program PV Master if you want to control the system.
Goodwe website ->www.semsportal.com<- was not working well for a few month.
DQ Electrical installation team was great, but not the management team.
I cannot say that DQ Electrical management team does nothing, but I feel that they say as minimum as possible.
Example: I have reported a bad connection in the Modbus line a few month ago.
I was told that it will be fixed.
Nothing is done.

When I signed up with GreenUltimate it was put on my roof about? three weeks later. BUT it wasn't connected to the Grid for 5--five months.
just left sitting, no use to anyone, After persistent weekly calls from me it was finally connected. so I have actually only had it for 7mths,
Now, over the last two weeks, the red lights flash on/off, once it made a squealing sound , I rang the fellow that originally signed me up for it,
no-response, said he'd call back never did, so I sent him a photo, no-response again. Rang head office nothing again.
I honestly couldn't tell you if it's working or not.
I have only had part of an account and still waiting for one due now, rang my provider only to be told -----they couldn't tell me and it would take ten days to be processed [it was read on the 7/11/19]
So to say I'm happy would be a lie

My Inverter output current is limited to 20A.
Sometimes the Inverter just restarts and Goodwe's analysis shows that there was an instant where the current load went slightly over 20A and caused the restart.
When this happens I loose power to my house completely and need to wait 5 minutes till the Inverter completes the restart and then it's good again.
This has happened many times and I am working with the supplier to provide an Inverter that is capable of handling say 25A.

I was surprised by the whole house being without power when the Inverter restarts. What if the Inverter never does because in is broken. I'll have to wait days for it to be replaced and be without power for that time.

I am checking with supplier regarding this and alternate wiring so that I get switched to the Grid if the Inverter breaks for any reason.

Bought From: Solar 1 Electrical Pty Ltd Show additional information
I say that the inverter is good without any experience of any thing different. I will say that the system we opted for although supposed to be 3.1kw., I have never seen the display on the inverter read more than 2.7or 2.8 kw. Perhaps that is as efficient as we can expect! One other minor complaint that I have, is that the installer failed to notify Powercor of the fact that Solar panels had been installed and consequently, we lost the feed in credits for the first two billing periods!
Bought From: Solar Central Pty Ltd Show additional information
No faults to this point. The app to monitor how much power being made is very useful, although i’ve noted that the wifi needs to be constantly on to allow it to upload power data. On the occasion I’ve turned all power off while away, I lose the ability to track how much solar kw are generated. Doesn’t seem to catch up when reconnected, so does affect the overall ‘usage stats’.

There was a small problem when the inverter stopped working. I rang Perth Solar who diagnosed the problem via the WIFI. They had a technician here two days later [160 kms from PERTH] who fixed the problem in 15 minutes. Couldn't be happier. Just got the power bill for the last 2 months $38 compared to about $280 the same time last year.

The system was quoted by Solar Aus and fitted by a company he uses in Wodonga. Very neat and tidy fitting and now the system is performing above it's rated output. The inverter is rated at 5kw and the panels at 4.4kw. I have seen the output on the inverter at 4.9kw and the other day at 4.6kw on a clear warm day. Cloudy is around 2- 1.5kw which is still exporting. Very happy overall. Brenton.
Bought From: Solar Australia Nth Vic Echuca Show additional information
It never gets anywhere near the 3 kw promised. I should have got a bigger system, or independent panels, as any shade takes down the whole system. Also, the company refused to put the inverter in my garage. It’s stuck at my front door, next to the m. Box. I was livid about that...as it is really ugly!

Solid well-performing inverter with some advanced technological features, very good customer service/tech support from Goodwe head office. Performing reliably, no problems.

8 days after installation "fault" light on - Had to reset clipsal in meter box - Only happened once.
Since installation (19/9/17) to 03 June 2018 (Total 37 weeks) the Goodwe 2000 NS kw inverter produced 3143 kw from 9 x 270 w panels on a western roof (average 85 kw /week).

For the same period a 3 kw zeversolar inverter produced 3093 kw from 12 x 200 w renesola JC 200 panels on an eastern roof (ave 84 kw / wk)
This zeversolar and 12 panels paid for itself in 5.3 years and will contribute to paying for the Goodwe installation (savings since install 15% of cost)

A bit ironic. Purchased two of these inverters to replace/upgrade another failed Chinese brand, a JSI. The JSI committed hare-kare under warranty and the manufacturer had gone out of business. Installer offered to pay the $265 for the 5 yr extension on the 5 yr warranty, making it a 10, so I went with it. In hindsight, glad I did. The first day it was kept under close scrutiny and it wasn't long before some shortcomings maniftested themselves.
Firstly there is the generic IP address of the units. Since these units don't have a keypad, you need to log onto it with something that does, such as a laptop or a phone, and then point the inverter in the direction of the Wi-Fi you want it to update it's data to. Normally this is not an issue, but I had two units installed sharing the same IP address. Eventually I got around this issue by getting one unit to log onto a wifi connection (indicator status light will let you know when you are connected) and then you shield that wifi aerial with a can from the recycling and then repeat the log in process for inverter number #2. Having said that, the portal is an invaluable asset, which leads us to issue #2.
5kw unit started cycling when it got to about 90% continuous use rating. ie, power would drop to 1kw then step up in 15 watt increments until it had reached full power again. It would then shut down and repeat the process. Seen this sort of thing happen a bit with pool pumps when people enclose them in sheds and the like to suppress the noise. Also suppresses the cooling. Sure enough, when you put your hand on the unit it is getting warm. Realising it was going to go the same way as it's predessor, the JSI that burnt itself out before the warranty did, I installed a USB fan under the unit to provide forced air cooling. Had no effect on the first day as the unit was already hot and semiconductors conduct more current the hotter they get, so it kept cycling. However, second day was a success story. Kept the USB fan on from dawn to dusk and the unit did not cycle that day with similar temps and load. The side of the inverter without fan coverage was warm but not hot. I've ordered a second fan on Me-bay as the unit can quite easily accommodate two fans underneath it which is what it should have come with. Had Goowe done this in the first place I would have rated it "Excellent" or fantastic instead of good. Wasn't a big outlay either. $8 on Me-bay for one fan, delivered.
Otherwise, a good product backed up by a good team locally. I was going to go with a German brand that had wifi functionality also, but so far I'm not sorry I didn't.

I record my power generation and power import each week and from my 2 monthly bills I can also calculate my export. I am then able to back calculate what my bill would be without the panels installed. So far after 4 bills I am saving about $150-$180 per bill which should give me a payback period of 4.5 years on the system at current prices. I am really pleased with that outcome. My system is averaging a bit over 42 kWh/day in the best summer weeks and 16.5 kWh/day in the worst winter week so far.
