About This Product

The GoodWe 5kW Single Phase ES G2 SERIES Solar Hybrid Inverter With 2 x MPPT is a single-phase hybrid inverter designed to maximise self-consumption of solar energy and offer battery storage functionality for residential systems. It supports both on-grid and off-grid / backup-mode operation, intelligently directing solar power to home loads, the battery or the grid as configured. The inverter is compact and designed for ease of installation, with plug-and-play AC/DC terminals and a lightweight form factor. It also provides a fast UPS-level transition to backup (less than 10 ms), ensuring minimal interruption to heavy loads such as air conditioners in the event of a grid outage. The unit is compatible with low-voltage batteries (e.g. 48 V lithium or lead-acid), such as the GoodWe Lynx Home U series battery.

Who This Product Suits

This inverter is ideal for homeowners with a medium-size solar array (roughly 4’6 kW PV) who want to store excess generation for later use ‘ for example overnight, in cloudy weather, or during peak-rate times. It suits roofs with multiple orientations or partial shading thanks to its dual MPPT capacity. It’s also a good fit for residences where backup power is desired, ensuring essential circuits (lights, fridge, air-con) can ride through grid interruptions. Installers who prefer simple, compact hardware and want to integrate battery storage without complex wiring will appreciate its plug-and-play design and versatile battery compatibility.

Specifications Explained

• Rated output: 5 kW (suitable for most Australian homes looking to offset everyday consumption).
• Dual MPPT inputs: two Maximum Power Point Trackers allow the PV array to be split ‘ useful for different roof aspects or partial shading, improving overall energy harvest.
• Wide MPPT voltage range (60’550 V) and maximum DC input voltage up to 600 V ‘ gives flexibility in panel choice and string configuration.
• Supports up to 7.5 kW PV input (DC), enabling 150% oversizing of solar capacity relative to inverter power ‘ handy for future expansion or peak-generation periods.
• Backup functionality with <10 ms switchover ' ensures critical loads stay powered during grid outages.
• Compatible with low-voltage batteries (48 V nominal, battery voltage range 40’60 V), making it suitable with a variety of lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries on the Australian market.
• Plug-and-play AC/DC connections, compact enclosure and lightweight build ‘ simplifies installation and reduces labour time.
• Smart control & monitoring ‘ supports communications and load control, enabling integration with home automation, monitoring of energy flows, and remote shutdown if needed.

Optional safety and convenience features include DC-side arc-fault protection (AFCI), remote shutdown capability, and parallel operation support for system redundancy or expansion.
