What a GoodWe Lynx costs in October 2026
What a GoodWe Lynx costs has two public anchors: the hardware price on an Australian shop page, and the installed figures two dated guides publish. Neither is a quote. The hardware price is before installation, before any hybrid inverter the battery needs and before the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount; the discount is set by usable capacity at $39 per certificate, so it is the same whoever installs it.

Federal discount on each GoodWe size: 6.4 to 28.8 kWh
The federal discount for every GoodWe size, at $39 per certificate and the 6.8 factor that applies to installs to 31 December 2026. The installer claims the certificates and shows the discount as a line on the quote. From 1 January 2027 the factor drops to 5.7, which is the last column.

Above 14 kWh each extra kilowatt-hour earns 60 per cent of the factor and above 28 kWh 15 per cent, so the per-kWh value falls on the larger stacks. One battery per premises is eligible, it must be on the CEC approved list, and the inverter it connects to must be VPP-capable. The battery rebate calculator works any size.
GoodWe Lynx warranty terms
10 years, with at least 70 per cent of usable capacity at the end of it. Cycles or throughput: 70 per cent of usable capacity at ten years or the minimum throughput, 23.36 MWh on the 6.4 kWh to 105.12 MWh on the 28.8 kWh (one full cycle a day). Ten years product and ten years performance from first installation. Read from GoodWe Limited Warranty for Lynx LX F G2 Series Battery System, Australia and New Zealand, Rev 1.4, 1 November 2024; the document is linked in the sources below. The number that matters on a quote is the retention percentage and the throughput cap together: a battery cycled once a day for ten years delivers about 23 MWh from 6.4 kWh, which is the scale the throughput caps are set at.

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP); Lynx F G2 in 3.2 kWh high-voltage modules, ESA in 9 kWh packs. DC-coupled high-voltage battery for GoodWe ET, EH and EHB hybrid inverters; ESA is an all-in-one unit.
Lynx Home F Plus+ pairs with GoodWe's own ET (three-phase) and EH or EHB (single-phase) hybrid inverters; the ESA is a single unit with the inverter and BMS built into the head unit and 9 kWh packs beneath it.
