Started in China in 2010 as a solar inverter manufacturer and entered the Australian market in 2012, building a strong presence through residential solar installations across the country. Today, GoodWe offers a range of home battery systems under its Lynx series, designed to store excess solar power.
Australia was also one of the first markets to receive GoodWe battery products when the company expanded into energy storage. Over the years, the brand has built a reputation among homeowners for combining solar inverters and batteries within the same ecosystem, which can simplify installation.
The modular design also gives homeowners room to expand storage capacity if energy needs change. In this review, we’ll look at how GoodWe batteries perform, where they fit within a modern solar setup, and what Sydney homeowners should know before making a purchase decision.
How GoodWe Batteries Work With Residential Solar Systems
The GoodWe Lynx range is the main battery series used for residential solar storage, with options such as the Lynx Home U, Lynx Home F, and Lynx F G2 Series. These models are built for different home energy needs, from smaller residential setups to households that want a more expandable storage system. When paired with a compatible GoodWe inverter, the battery, solar panels, household appliances, and grid connection work together as one connected system.

While these specifications highlight the key differences, each battery series brings its own strengths depending on household energy usage, installation requirements, and future expansion plans.
Lynx Home U Series
It is designed for homeowners who want a practical storage setup for daily self-consumption, backup use, and better control over the solar energy produced at home. Since it works with GoodWe ES, EM, and SBP inverters, it fits well into a GoodWe solar system without adding unnecessary setup complexity.
→ Remote diagnosis and updates
→ Auto reboot after undervoltage
→ Auto-recognition modules
→ Plug-and-play wiring
→ Capacity range from 5.4 kWh to 32.4 kWh
Each battery pack works as a standalone unit, so there is no need for a separate Power Control Unit. This makes installation more straightforward for your solar installer and gives your home a flexible battery system that can store solar power for later use.
Lynx Home F Series
It works with GoodWe BH, EH, BT, and ET inverters, giving homeowners a battery setup that fits into a broader GoodWe solar ecosystem. It suits homes that need stronger storage support for self-consumption and backup use.
→ One-stop battery and inverter setup
→ Capacity range from 6.6 kWh to 16.4 kWh
→ Suitable for single-phase and three-phase systems
→ Soft-start protection against sudden surges
→ Stackable self-detecting modules
→ Expandable nominal voltage up to 512 V
This series is a practical choice for homes that need more than entry-level storage but do not necessarily require the largest GoodWe battery setup. Its stackable design also supports cleaner installation and easier maintenance.
Lynx F G2 Series
High-voltage battery solution aimed at homes that need a balance of storage capacity, flexibility, and future expansion potential. When paired with compatible EH and ET series inverters, it becomes part of an integrated solar storage system designed for long-term residential use.
→ Remote diagnosis and inverter updates
→ Auto reboot after undervoltage
→ Stackable auto-recognition modules
→ Plug-and-play wiring
→ Up to 8 towers in parallel (230kWh)
The combination of flexible expansion and simplified installation makes the Lynx F G2 Series a strong option for households planning for future increases in electricity consumption.
