In its early years, GoodWe concentrated on crafting top-tier solar inverters designed to optimise energy efficiency while minimising costs. The company swiftly earned a reputation for excellence among its clients and partners due to its unwavering dedication to innovation and quality.
As the demand for renewable energy solutions increased, GoodWe expanded its product range to include energy storage solutions for the efficient preservation of surplus energy generated by solar panels. Over time, GoodWe has experienced continuous growth and expanded its global presence.

Their commitment to excellence is further validated by accolades like the 2017-2021 EuPD Research Top Brand PV Inverters Australia award, the 2019 Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables recognition as the number one storage hybrid provider, and the 2019 PV Magazine Award.

We believe GoodWe have one of the largest ranges of inverters in the marketplace today. GoodWe are also the only manufacturer to have 3 MPPT single-phase inverter within the Australian market, allowing for panels to be split into 3 different arrays.
XS Series (single phase – 0.7-3 kw)
DNS Series (single phase – 3-5 kw)
SDT G2 Series (three phase – 5-20 kw)
EH Series (single phase 3.6-6kW – grid tied and then you can pay to turn it into a hybrid)
MS Series (single phase – 5-10 kw – 3 MPPTs)
GoodWe inverters come with a Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) which allows for online monitoring of your system.

Our Thoughts
A quality product, manufactured by a massive Chinese company with a strong trading history. We have worked extensively with GoodWe over the past 7 years, and they have been brilliant with us.
The Australian office allows for warranty issues to be catered for, even if your installation company disappears.
They will be a good choice by anyone, they will last the test of time and produce power for years to come. Unfortunately, like all things electrical, you occasionally get faults with them, but warranty claims are made a very easy process with them, so don’t panic. Customer service from GoodWe is right up there.
We would definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, and in fact we have, put them on our own house or business.
