Parent: SOFAR Group
SOFAR Solar, founded in 2013 in Shenzhen, China, manufactures solar inverters and battery energy storage systems for residential and commercial applications. The company has grown steadily, with its products deployed in over 100 countries and total global shipments exceeding 40 GW of inverter capacity.
In Australia, SOFAR entered the market in 2018 and has gained traction through competitive pricing and a range of hybrid inverter and battery combinations. The HYD series hybrid inverters paired with the GTX and BTS battery modules offer LFP storage in modular configurations, allowing homeowners to start small and expand later.
SOFAR's monitoring platform (SOFARHome app) provides real-time energy data and system control. The company has invested in Australian-based support and warranty infrastructure, though as a mid-tier brand it lacks the depth of local presence compared to larger competitors like Sungrow or GoodWe. SOFAR suits cost-conscious buyers who want a hybrid inverter and storage solution from a single manufacturer at a competitive price point.

Rather than naming favourites, apply two tests: has the brand been popular in the Australian market for 5+ years, and has it done so with no recalls or safety issues? Tenure plus a clean record beats marketing claims. Check recall history on our risk-alerts page and tenure on each manufacturer profile, and verify warranty support and local service availability before you buy — particularly for brands newer to the Australian market.
Start with the two tools on this site: the ACCC-sourced recall list on our risk-alerts page, and each brand's manufacturer profile showing years in the Australian market and CEC listing history. A note on delistings — an expired CEC listing is not automatically a red flag. Regulations change and products get relisted with minor updates, and old models are routinely retired when new ones launch. A safety removal is different from an expiry. The pattern that matters: if a manufacturer hasn't renewed or listed anything for a few years, it's safe to say they're no longer present in the market.
Most home batteries sold in Australia are made in China — including products from the biggest global brands — so 'Chinese-made' tells you very little on its own. Quality tracks the cells and the warranty, not the country: the best cells carry warranties up to 10,000+ cycles, while cheaper packs are warranted for far fewer. That's usually how the pricing works — a lower price per kWh can mean a shorter warranted life and faster degradation. Popular Chinese-made brands in the WA market include Sigenergy, Sungrow, GoodWe, Growatt, Sofar, FoxESS, and iStore. Very few brands can claim non-Chinese ownership (and manufacturing origin is hard to verify) — US-owned Tesla and Austrian-owned Fronius are the main ones still available here.
