GoodWe GW8500-MS-30

CEC listing: GW8500-MS-30 (AS4777-2 2020)

An 8.5 kW single-phase solar inverter.

Installed in Perth, typical: ~$2,550; Estimate for the inverter alone — your quote will vary
Rated power: 8.5kW; How much solar it can run at once
Battery-ready: No; Solar-only: adding a battery later means a second inverter

What we can tell you

Read from the figures on this page. No review written yet.

It is a solar-only inverter: adding a battery later means a second inverter or an AC-coupled battery.
It runs on a standard single-phase supply.
We can't confirm it is on Synergy's approved list — a battery paired with it needs that for the WA Battery Scheme, so ask your installer.
It is CEC-approved, which a new install needs to qualify for STCs.

Key specs, in plain terms

The numbers that matter for a home. The full datasheet is below.

Rated power How much solar it can turn into usable power at once: 8.5kW
Phases Runs on a standard single-phase supply: Single
MPPT trackers 3 roof faces can be tuned independently: 3
Type Runs solar only: Solar
Warranty How long GoodWe Technologies Co Ltd stands behind it: 10yr
