GoodWe<\/strong> It is one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of solar inverters, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and with several million units installed. Its offering is a closed ecosystem that is inexpensive to implement: a hybrid inverter, battery, meter and monitoring system, all from the same brand, with all components communicating directly with one another without the need for third-party gateways.<\/p>\n

At FV Componentes, we stock both complete hybrid ranges, the batteries and all the communication accessories, with stock in Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between GoodWe ESA and ETA?<\/h2>\n

The The ESA Hybrid series is single-phase<\/strong> and covers a range from 3 to 10 kW (3, 3.6, 5, 6, 8 and 10 kW). This range is designed for detached houses with a single-phase supply, which accounts for the majority of residential properties in Spain.<\/p>\n

The The ETA Hybrid series is three-phase<\/strong> and ranges from 5 to 29.9 kW (5, 6, 8, 12, 15, 20, 25 and 29.9 kW). It covers everything from a holiday home with a three-phase supply to an industrial unit or a small commercial premises. Above 15 kW, you enter the realm of commercial installations, with the connection requirements that this entails.<\/p>\n

The price difference between the ranges is significant for the same power output: a 5 kW ESA costs around \u20ac736, whilst a 5 kW ETA costs \u20ac1,224. Buying power is not the same as buying three-phase power.<\/p>\n

Which batteries are compatible with a GoodWe inverter?<\/h2>\n

We have our own batteries in our catalogue BAT5<\/strong> y BAT8<\/strong>, plus the mounting accessories from the series Lynx D<\/strong> (base and wall bracket) and the ESA expansion kit<\/strong> to add capacity to an existing system.<\/p>\n

The key point when selecting a battery: you shouldn\u2019t choose a battery based on its capacity, but on its discharge power. A 5 kWh battery that only delivers 2.5 kW won\u2019t be able to power a ceramic hob and an oven at the same time, no matter how much energy it has stored. Always check the maximum continuous discharge current, not just the kWh rating.<\/p>\n

Do I need a smart meter to install a GoodWe?<\/h2>\n

Yes, and it\u2019s not optional. Without a meter on the main switchboard, the inverter doesn\u2019t know how much energy the property is using and cannot achieve zero net consumption or manage the battery properly.<\/p>\n
