GoodWe’s Lynx family delivers dependable storage for homes that want to use more of their own solar, add backup, and prepare for VPPs in future. They use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells for improved thermal stability and longevity, and pair natively with GoodWe’s popular hybrid inverter platforms. 

Key Benefits 

• Safety first: LFP cells, international safety certifications, and ingress protection for Australian conditions. 
• True scalability: Start small and add modules later—ideal for growing families, EV adoption, or new appliances. 
• One-brand ecosystem: Smooth compatibility with GoodWe ES/EM/SBP (LV) and BH/EH/BT/ET (HV) hybrid inverters. 
• Smart control: Remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and auto-recovery after undervoltage (less downtime). 

Model Overview: Which Lynx is right for you?.

1) Lynx Home U (Low Voltage 51.2 V) 

• Capacity (usable): 5.4, 10.8, 16.2, 21.6, 27.0 or 32.4 kWh (stacked).
• Power: Up to 5.12 kW charge/discharge on larger stacks.
• Protection: IP65 (suitable for outdoor installation), –10 °C to +50 °C discharge window.
• Best for: Homes prioritising backup with LV hybrids or upgrading existing GoodWe ES/EM/SBP systems.
• Why pick LV? Low-voltage stacks are popular for retrofit safety and compatibility with specific LV hybrid inverters.

2) Lynx Home F / F Plus+ (High Voltage)

• Per-tower usable capacity: 6.55, 9.83, 13.10 or 16.38 kWh (2–5 modules). 
• Scale big: Up to 8 towers in parallel (≈131 kWh)—handy for large homes, small businesses, or off-grid. 
• Nominal power (per tower): 5.12–12.8 kW depending on stack size.
• Protection: IP55, robust for Australian outdoor installs. 
• Best for: New builds or major upgrades with GoodWe BH/EH/BT/ET hybrid inverters seeking high round-trip efficiency and higher DC bus voltage. 

Australian Compliance & Approvals (2025)

To claim incentives, remain insured, and stay safe: 

1. Use SAA-accredited designers/installers and follow all state electrical laws and Australian Standards (notably AS/NZS 5139 for battery systems). 
2. Choose batteries from the CEC-approved list used by networks and government programs. GoodWe Lynx batteries appear on the industry list covering best-practice safety. Always confirm your exact model numbers on the current list before purchase. 

Tip: Your installer should give you written documentation on system design, operation, and maintenance at handover, as required by the CER. 

Warranties at a Glance 

• Lynx U (LV): GoodWe provides 10-year performance warranty (to 70% usable energy or a specified energy throughput). Latest AU/NZ warranty docs also describe 10-year product coverage—check your serial and registration conditions. 
• Lynx F / F Plus+ (HV): 10-year product and 10-year performance warranties. Throughput tables for each size are published by GoodWe. 

Always read the warranty PDF version that matches your region and model before purchase; terms can vary by market and production date.

How to Size a GoodWe Lynx for Your Home (Easy Method)

1. Daily usage from your bill (kWh/day). 
2. Night-time or backup hours you want to cover. 
3. Multiply and add a buffer (10–20%) for rainy weeks or seasonal changes. 

Example: If you use 18 kWh/day, and want to cover 12 hours (half a day): 18 × 0.5 = 9 kWh → Choose a Lynx F 9.8-H or Lynx U 10.8 kWh stack. If you expect EV charging later, consider 13.1–16.4 kWh.

Backup Power & Blackout Resilience

Pairing a Lynx battery with a GoodWe hybrid inverter enables backup circuits. Correct design ensures critical loads (fridge, lights, comms, some GPOs) operate during outages. Discuss essential-load sub-boards, start-up currents, and inverter backup power rating with your installer. (GoodWe integration is native across ES/EM/SBP for LV and BH/EH/BT/ET for HV.)

Installation, Safety, and Location

• Install in line with AS/NZS 5139, respecting clearances, ventilation, separation distances from habitable rooms or ignition sources, and manufacturer limits (temperature, altitude).
• Outdoor installs are common thanks to IP55–IP65 protection. Ensure shading from direct sun where possible to preserve lifespan.
• Final commissioning includes firmware updates and SEMS portal registration for monitoring and warranty conditions. 

Rebates & Policy Snapshot (August 2025)

• Government rules require accredited installers and approved products. Check current federal and state program rules before purchase; criteria typically include new equipment, 5–100 kWh capacity ranges, and CEC-approved listings.
• Some public information sources describe the new federal battery rebate program from 1 July 2025 (cheaper home batteries initiative). Always confirm live eligibility and caps before you buy, as values and requirements may change.

Lynx U vs Lynx F/F Plus+: A Simple Decision Guide

• Retrofit to existing LV hybrid? → Lynx U. 
• New build / high efficiency / larger system? → Lynx F Plus+. 
• Big storage (≥30–50 kWh) now or later? → F Plus+ with parallel towers to 131 kWh.

Care, Use and Longevity Tips 

• Keep the battery within recommended temperature ranges; extreme heat reduces life.
• Enable remote updates via the inverter app for performance and safety patches.
• Review state electrical regulations annually—rules evolve and may affect inspection or insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: Can I start with a small Lynx and expand later?
Yes. Both U and F Plus+ are modular. U stacks to 32.4 kWh; F Plus+ tower expands to 16.4 kWh, with up to 8 towers in parallel (≈131 kWh). 

Q2: Does GoodWe Lynx support blackout backup?
Yes, when paired with compatible GoodWe hybrids and designed with essential-load circuits.

Q3: What warranties apply?
GoodWe provides 10-year performance (to 70% usable energy or throughput) and product coverage (model/region dependent). Check the exact AU/NZ PDF for your model. 

Q4: Will my system be eligible for incentives?
Eligibility depends on using SAA-accredited installers, CEC-approved products, and meeting program rules at the time of installation. Confirm with your installer and the program website before purchasing.
