Goodwe is the battery we recommend when you want dependable storage at a mid-range spend. As a Perth solar battery installer, Bolton EC fits Goodwe battery and solar systems across the metro area, either as a battery added to the panels you already have or as a complete new system. The battery pairs with a Goodwe hybrid inverter, and that inverter sets what the system can take on later.
Goodwe has built solar inverters for the Australian market for over a decade. A Goodwe solar battery setup is the battery, the Goodwe inverter that manages it, and an app that shows what both are doing.
The current home storage range runs across three lines:
Lynx Home F: a stackable high voltage battery that runs with Goodwe’s ET and EH hybrid inverters.
Lynx Home U: a low voltage battery that pairs with Goodwe’s ES and SBP inverters.
ESA: an all-in-one cabinet that houses the inverter and modular battery together, with a tidier footprint on the wall.
All three use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, a chemistry widely used in home storage because it is stable and handles daily charging well. The right line depends on your existing solar, the inverter on the wall and the space near the switchboard. We name the exact model in your written quote.
Goodwe and Sigenergy are the two battery systems behind our solar battery installation service, and we quote whichever one suits the home.

Goodwe suits a household that wants reliable storage and backup on a set budget. Sigenergy battery systems suit a household planning for an electric vehicle, more storage over time, or the most connected setup we install. Both are quality equipment. The difference is how far the system is built to grow and how much of the home it manages.
| What to compare | Goodwe | Sigenergy |
|---|---|---|
| Price tier | Mid-range | Upper range |
| EV charging | Separate charger installed alongside | Sigenergy charger linked to the same system |
| Adding storage | Expandable within the chosen line | Modular stack built for staged growth |
| Monitoring | Goodwe SEMS app | One app for solar, battery and car |
| Best fit | Defined budget, steady evening use, retrofits | EV owners, growing loads, long-term upgrades |
There is no budget tier below Goodwe in the brands we install. It is the mid-range option because it is good equipment at a sensible spend.
Older switchboards are the most common surprise. A board that is full, or one still running ceramic fuses, usually needs a switchboard upgrade before a battery and backup circuits can be connected safely. We check it at the assessment so it is priced in the quote.
On a clear Perth day, most solar arrays produce more than the house uses at midday. The battery carries that surplus into the evening, so we size it against your night-time load.
If a car is coming, we can fit an EV charger alongside a Goodwe system as a separate unit. We show the sizing reasoning in your quote.
The Goodwe SEMS app shows what your panels produce, what the house draws and how much charge the battery holds. We set the charge behaviour at commissioning to suit your household, and Bolton EC stays your first call if the system is not behaving.
A battery is on your wall for the long haul, and the install decides how well it runs. Bolton EC will look at your panels, your switchboard and your evening usage, then tell you whether Goodwe is the right fit and put the recommendation in writing.
Yes, for the right home. Goodwe is a large, established inverter manufacturer with a long presence in Australia, and its batteries use LFP cells. We rate it as dependable mid-range equipment.
Usually, yes. If your current inverter cannot support storage, we replace it with a Goodwe hybrid inverter and keep the panels. Some homes suit the all-in-one ESA instead, which we confirm at the site assessment.
It can, on the circuits set up for backup at design stage. Those circuits are chosen and wired before installation, so tell us at the assessment what you need to keep running.
It depends on the Goodwe line, the battery capacity, whether the inverter is replaced and any switchboard work. We assess the site first and give you a written quote that reflects your home.
Goodwe provides the product warranty on the battery and inverter, and the terms are supplied with your system documentation. Bolton EC is responsible for the installation workmanship.
