Our verdict

Is a GoodWe inverter right for you?

A proven, widely installed inverter brand with excellent specs across solar-only and hybrid models. Its two recalls were both fixed, but they're worth knowing about.

Rated 8.1/10, #2 of 9 brands we rate for inverters.

A good fit if

  • You want a reliable, well-priced inverter installers know
  • Three-phase hybrid or solar-only

Maybe look elsewhere if

  • You want a brand with a spotless recall record

What we like

Questions to ask your installer

  1. 1Is this a hybrid, and which batteries can I add later?
  2. 2How many MPPTs, and which roof faces go on each?
  3. 3Can I see the warranty letter, and who services it locally?

A good installer will be glad you asked, whichever brand you choose.
