LG Chem visits GoodWe Headquarters to discuss the path for a more customer centric photovoltaic ESS package

GoodWe is one of the first Chinese PV solar inverter companies developing energy storage solutions. Our first energy storage inverter was presented to the market in 2014 and since that very early date the company has built a diversified energy storage inverter portfolio that includes hybrid and retrofit solutions for the residential sector that currently are deployed across the main energy storage markets. In order to offer customers more choice and flexibility, GoodWe has invested time and effort to make our inverters compatible with a larger number of high quality battery brands worldwide.

As early as 2014 GoodWe started cooperation with LG Chem. At present, the GoodWe residential hybrid inverter ES and EM Series, as well as the AC Coupled retrofit inverter SBP, are fully compatible with LG RESU home battery 48V lineups (5.9kWh, 8.8kWh). Attending the rising global demand for high-voltage batteries, GoodWe also launched its new high-voltage hybrid inverters series EH, ET and AC Coupled retrofit inverter BT and BH. At present GoodWe is testing the compatibility of these new inverters with LG RESU home battery 400V lineups (6.6kWh, 9.3kWh). Thanks to the partnership with LG Chem, GoodWe will be able to provide a more stable home energy storage service, offering more choices to customers across the world.

"As a long-term partner, we were able to witness the growth of GoodWe and we share our astonishments of its achievements in the past years”, said Jeongjin Hong, Vice President of LG Chem’s home battery business, "Visiting the newly-built Suzhou factory made us anticipate the path that GoodWe will follow and we strongly believe that GoodWe will continue to prosper. We are happy to carry on with this valued partnership and look forward to a more comprehensive cooperation with GoodWe.”

"We hope to continue working with LG Chem to provide customers with a more diversified and customer-centric photovoltaic energy storage system package,” said Mr. Ron Shen, VP of GoodWe. "GoodWe and LG chem will integrate their unmatched R & D, manufacturing and service capabilities to create a competitive home storage solution for households around the world, helping them to make the most of PV energy, achieving stronger energy savings.”

GoodWe is committed to keep working with battery industry leaders to enhance the energy efficiency and manufacture more cost-effective energy storage systems for homeowners worldwide, managing the intermittent nature of solar systems and helping in that way households to reach their goal of energy self-consumption and energy-independence, ultimately bringing sustainability to their everyday life.
