Media Release
GoodWe has unveiled its latest innovation in hybrid inverter technology — the EHB single-phase, high-voltage hybrid inverter. Specifically designed for larger residential energy storage solutions, this new product promises improved performance, safety, and installation efficiency, making it an exciting addition to the Australian and New Zealand markets.
The EHB inverter, available in 5kW to 10kW models, offers an ideal solution for homeowners seeking advanced energy storage capabilities. With its enhanced features and flexible design, the EHB is poised to meet the growing demand for residential energy storage systems that can handle larger energy needs. The product’s robust capabilities make it a strong contender for new installations as well as retrofit projects, ensuring seamless integration for homeowners looking to future-proof their energy solutions.
Key features of the GoodWe EHB inverter
One of the standout features of the EHB inverter is its ability to support up to 200% PV oversizing. This means that systems can reach a maximum size of up to 20kW, making it a perfect match for larger homes or businesses that require a more extensive energy storage solution. Whether you have a complex roof design or want to maximise your system’s capacity, the EHB’s four MPPTs (Maximum Power Point Trackers) make it an ideal choice for maximising energy output from solar panels.
For homeowners concerned about energy reliability, the EHB offers exceptional backup power capabilities. The inverter can provide UPS-level switching (less than 10 milliseconds) in the event of a grid failure, ensuring continuous power supply even during blackouts or other disruptions. This backup function can also be integrated into microgrid systems, offering greater flexibility for both on-grid and off-grid energy solutions. Whether you’re in the middle of a blackout or looking to secure energy for the future, the EHB inverter provides a reliable power source when you need it most.
Enhanced safety features for peace of mind
Safety is a primary concern for any electrical system, and GoodWe has designed the EHB inverter with several built-in safety features to protect both the system and the home. The inverter comes equipped with a built-in AC bypass switch, Type II Surge Protection Devices (SPD), and an Arc-fault Current Interrupter (AFCI). These features work together to ensure that the system is protected from potential electrical faults, surges, or arcs that could damage the system or compromise safety.
Furthermore, the EHB has earned an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor installations. This rating ensures that the inverter is dust-tight and protected against water jets, making it durable enough to withstand various environmental conditions. Whether installed in a garage, garden, or on the roof, the EHB inverter is built to perform reliably under challenging conditions.
Simplifying installation with plug-and-play features
Installing a hybrid inverter can often be a complex and time-consuming task. However, GoodWe has made sure that the EHB inverter is as easy to install as possible. With a lightweight, plug-and-play design, the EHB significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional models. The inverter comes with a new generation Wi-Fi + LAN 2.0 module integration, making it easier to monitor and manage the system remotely via the GoodWe app. Additionally, the inverter includes a GoodWe Smart Meter, which is supplied as standard with every unit, further streamlining the setup process.
A “Hybrid-ready” range of EHB inverters will also be available in the coming months. This new range provides even greater flexibility for consumers who may want to delay the addition of energy storage to their home or business. It’s perfect for those who want to future-proof their energy system and add storage capabilities at a later stage, offering a seamless transition from basic solar to a full energy storage solution when the time is right.
Expanding GoodWe’s product offering
Dean Williamson, GoodWe’s Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, expressed his excitement about the launch of the EHB inverter:
“We are very excited to launch the EHB into the Australia and New Zealand market. The EHB provides the ideal solution for larger, single-phase residential energy storage systems to meet consumer demand. The EHB also adds to our ever-growing range of single and three-phase high-voltage hybrid inverters, which will continue to grow in 2025 and beyond with even more exciting new products.”
GoodWe’s expansion into the residential energy storage market reflects a broader trend in the renewable energy sector. As more homeowners look for ways to reduce their reliance on the grid and take control of their energy consumption, the demand for innovative and flexible energy storage solutions continues to rise. With the launch of the EHB inverter, GoodWe is reinforcing its commitment to providing cutting-edge technology that meets the needs of consumers now and in the future.
