The Best Solar Inverters In Australia In 2024: Installers Choice Awards

Ғылым және технология

What are the best solar inverters to put on your home in 2024? Find out how top Australian solar installers voted.
Installers work with different inverter brands every day - and they must support them for the duration of their warranties.
In the 2024 SolarQuotes Installers Choice Awards, I asked installers in the SQ network to vote for inverters they'd be happy to have on their own homes in two categories - Best value inverters and the best inverters money can buy.
I also asked which brand they believed has the best warranty support.
00:00 - Introduction
00:32 - Best-value, "every dollar counts" category winners
02:10 - Top-end, "Money's no object" category winners
04:05 - "Best panel support" category winners
Note: While choosing good brands is important, installation quality is equally important. If good inverters are installed badly, it will still result in a poorly performing system.

    Ran an SMA for 13 years until I recently replaced it with Goodwe. Just make sure your installer installs the inverter in a location that is covered.

    I had Growatt for almost 2 years. I had 12x 500w panels and recently just changed my entire setup to Victron Multi RS 48/6000/100 and installed batteries 31kwh totalling $3400 for my setup.

    That is good to hear! I have had faultless operation of a 5kw Sunnyboy for 2+ years. It also operates quietly, and I like that there is no fan to break down.

    The new Sungrow 3-phase SHT series (15, 20 and 25 kw) has a feature set currently unmatched in Australia. This is a hybrid capable of either grid-tie or full off-grid and it doesn't require AC Coupling to provide direct panel-to-load distribution. It can distribute its DC Coupled power simultaneously between grid export, loads and battery without the inefficiency of DC-AC-DC (battery stored)-AC (conversion back to loads) when drawing from battery in non-solar hours. The series supports a

    Enphase has a hopeless support system in Australia. Stay clear of this mob as you are stuck with them once committed. Not sure about straw in the walls 😮 however with string inverters you have the ability to change brands as you wish

    I've been told a hybrid Fronius Gen24 Plus cannot run a 30,000 BTU aircon on the critical loads during a power cut, due to the compressor startup load, even with batteries. Is that true? Thanks.

    We have installed hundreds and hundreds of Goodwe inverters over the past 10 years and we have never had one fail. Never. All of the other brands have failed with varying degrees of disappointing after-sales support. Goodwe still have LC displays on their Gen 3 inverters which can be invaluable when Wi-Fi is not working. Goodwe's after sales is in our experience, the best.

    Híbridos não são fora da rede,não funciona motores trifasicos,não são projetados para funcionar mais de 20%do tempo sem energia da rede e aumenta a frequência em até 3 hz,se quiser ficar fora da rede e necessário um inversor on grid,um híbrido e inversores de frequência para os motores da minha residência ou se quiser gastar um.pouco mais compre um selectronic SP pro,do contrário até um gerador será necessário nas residências onde a incidência de sol não é tão frequente
