Market position
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.
