The GoodWe battery price in Australia, as at November 2026, is an estimated A$8,900 to A$10,300 installed for the most common setup: a 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2 with a new GoodWe hybrid inverter, after the federal battery discount. Before the discount the same system is roughly A$12,200 to A$13,800. These two ranges are Solar Cobber estimates (method below), not quoted prices. With a compatible GoodWe inverter already on the roof, the battery alone is about A$6,900 to A$7,900 after the discount, according to My Home Battery.
This guide prices the GoodWe Lynx F G2 battery by capacity, with and without the GoodWe hybrid inverter, and compares it with the GoodWe ESA all-in-one. It is independent desk research from published price pages; Solar Cobber obtained no quotes and was not paid by GoodWe or any installer.
Key facts
- A 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2 battery is estimated at A$6,900 to A$7,900 installed after the federal discount when an existing GoodWe hybrid inverter is reused, according to the My Home Battery review of the GoodWe Lynx updated 28 September 2026.
- GoodWe does not publish Australian retail prices, and the SolarQuotes battery price list (updated 12 May 2026) shows the GoodWe ESA but not the Lynx F G2.
- The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount on a 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2 installed between 1 May and 31 December 2026 is about 87 certificates, roughly A$3,300 to A$3,500 at A$38 to A$40 a certificate (Demand Manager’s spot market showed A$39.60 per STC on 12 November 2026 and the Clean Energy Regulator’s Clearing House price is A$40; we use A$38 to A$40 as an assumption for what installers pass on).
- Solar Choice put the average installed price of a 10 kWh GoodWe ESA at A$6,660 including the federal rebate (updated 15 September 2026), which it called lower than average.
- Australian retailers list a GoodWe 5 kW EH hybrid inverter at about A$1,960 to A$2,400: Energyeco showed A$1,959.06 including GST for the EH PLUS on 13 November 2026, and Aussie Solar Tech gives A$2,100 to A$2,400 for battery-ready 5 kW hybrids.
- The federal discount factor falls from 6.8 to 5.7 certificates per usable kWh on 1 January 2027, which removes about A$535 to A$565 from the discount on a 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2.
GoodWe Lynx F G2 price list (November 2026)
Published prices for the Lynx F G2 are scarce and most come from installers and comparison sites, not GoodWe. The table starts from the My Home Battery estimates (installed, after the federal discount, existing GoodWe hybrid inverter) and adds a new 5 kW GoodWe EH inverter at about A$2,000 to A$2,400 (Energyeco and Aussie Solar Tech retail prices, November 2026) and the federal discount. Rows marked indicative add Perth Solar Warehouse’s price step per extra 3.2 kWh module to the 12.8 kWh estimate. Method for every estimate in this guide: the sums are Solar Cobber arithmetic, checked November 2026, and are not quoted market prices.
| Lynx F G2 size | Usable capacity | Federal discount (May to Dec 2026) | Installed after discount, existing GoodWe hybrid | Solar Cobber estimate: installed after discount, with new 5 kW GoodWe hybrid | Solar Cobber estimate: installed before discount, with new hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 modules | 9.6 kWh | A$2,500 to A$2,600 | From A$6,000 | From A$8,000 | From A$10,500 |
| 4 modules | 12.8 kWh | A$3,300 to A$3,500 | A$6,900 to A$7,900 | A$8,900 to A$10,300 | A$12,200 to A$13,800 |
| 5 modules | 16 kWh | A$3,900 to A$4,100 | A$7,600 to A$8,600 (indicative) | A$9,600 to A$11,000 | A$13,500 to A$15,100 |
| 6 modules | 19.2 kWh | A$4,400 to A$4,700 | A$8,500 to A$9,500 (indicative) | A$10,500 to A$11,900 | A$14,900 to A$16,600 |
| 8 modules | 25.6 kWh | A$5,400 to A$5,700 | A$10,200 to A$11,200 (indicative) | A$12,200 to A$13,600 | A$17,600 to A$19,300 |
| 9 modules | 28.8 kWh | A$5,800 to A$6,100 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
Larger towers usually need a bigger inverter than 5 kW, so treat the inverter column as a floor from 16 kWh up. Usable capacity is the energy a battery can deliver when new.
Advertised GoodWe Lynx prices in Western Australia
One Perth installer still publishes a full Lynx F G2 price ladder. These are advertised prices, not quotes, on a legacy page that may be out of date.
| Source | Configuration | Advertised price | What the price includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perth Solar Warehouse (legacy page, undated) | 9.6, 12, 16, 19, 22 and 25 kWh Lynx F G2 (sizes as labelled by the seller) | A$4,890, A$5,690, A$6,390, A$7,290, A$8,190 and A$8,990 | After federal discount (at A$38 a certificate) and the Western Australian battery rebate, DC-coupled installation included; a compatible inverter is separate |
The Western Australian rebate on that page is A$130 per usable kWh up to 10 kWh and requires joining the Synergy or Plico virtual power plant, so these prices are lower than a typical eastern-states quote; see our guide to battery rebates by state.
What changes the price
The inverter, the number of modules and the site work move a GoodWe quote more than the brand does.
- The hybrid inverter. A GoodWe Lynx battery needs a GoodWe inverter: an EH (single phase) or ET (three phase) hybrid, or a BH or BT battery inverter that sits beside existing solar. Reusing a compatible GoodWe hybrid saves roughly A$2,000 to A$2,400 (retail prices above).
- Three phase. The ET inverter family costs more than the single-phase EH.
- Number of modules. Each additional 3.2 kWh module adds roughly A$700 to A$900 on Perth Solar Warehouse’s ladder, much less than the first module, because the controller, inverter and labour are shared.
- Backup and installer margin. Blackout backup is a separate line item, and SolarQuotes assumes about A$3,000 for a straightforward battery installation.
How the federal battery discount applies
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program cuts the price at the point of sale by creating small-scale technology certificates (STCs), which the installer sells and deducts from the invoice. According to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, installs from 1 May to 31 December 2026 earn 6.8 STCs per usable kWh on the first 14 kWh, 60% of that from 14 to 28 kWh and 15% from 28 to 50 kWh.
Worked example for a 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2: 12.8 x 6.8 = 87.04, so about 87 certificates. At A$38 to A$40 each that is A$3,306 to A$3,480.
A 16 kWh stack earns the full rate only on its first 14 kWh. On 1 January 2027 the factor drops to 5.7, so the same 12.8 kWh stack earns about 73 certificates (A$2,770 to A$2,920). The factor is set by installation date, not the date you sign.
The battery must also be on the Clean Energy Council approved list on installation day. Our October 2026 review recorded all eight Lynx F G2 configurations as listed until 31 December 2027, while the older Lynx Home F no longer appears.
GoodWe Lynx F G2 vs the GoodWe ESA and rivals on price
GoodWe also sells the ESA, an all-in-one cabinet with a built-in inverter, and SolarQuotes prices it lower than most rivals. The table shows SolarQuotes prices from 12 May 2026, after the federal discount, including GST and before installation.
| Battery | Usable capacity | Price after federal discount, not installed | Inverter |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoodWe ESA | 16 kWh | A$4,600 | Built in |
| Fox ESS EQ4800 | 13.98 kWh | A$4,000 | Check the model |
| Sungrow SBR128 | 12.8 kWh | A$8,100 | Separate Sungrow hybrid |
| BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM 13.8 | 13.8 kWh | A$8,100 | Separate compatible hybrid |
| Tesla Powerwall 3 | 13.5 kWh | A$10,000 including Gateway | Built in |
SolarQuotes gives no price for the Lynx F G2, so the table cannot compare it like for like. Adding SolarQuotes’ A$3,000 installation assumption gives an estimated A$7,600 installed for the 16 kWh GoodWe ESA (Solar Cobber arithmetic). See also what a solar battery costs in Australia.
Is it worth it? A worked payback example
A 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2 pays for itself inside its 10-year warranty only where power is expensive and the battery is worked hard. The sums below are our own calculation, not a measured result.
Assumptions: the battery delivers 8 kWh of stored solar to the home each day on average, or about 2,920 kWh a year. Each kWh avoids buying grid power at the 2026-27 Default Market Offer usage rate from the Australian Energy Regulator (figures from our electricity bill guide) and gives up a 3 c/kWh feed-in credit. Two system prices are tested: A$8,900 and A$10,300, the low and high ends of our 12.8 kWh with-hybrid estimate.
| Network area | Usage rate | Saving per year | Payback at A$8,900 | Payback at A$10,300 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SA Power Networks (Adelaide) | 41.9 c/kWh | About A$1,136 | 7.8 years | 9.1 years |
| Ausgrid (Sydney) | 33.1 c/kWh | About A$879 | 10.1 years | 11.7 years |
| Energex (South East Queensland) | 28.0 c/kWh | About A$730 | 12.2 years | 14.1 years |
The case where it does not pay: a Sydney household that cycles only 4 kWh a day saves about A$440 a year, a payback of nearly 16 years even at the A$6,900 battery-only price.
What to check on your quote
A GoodWe battery quote should let you rebuild the price line by line. Check:
- The exact battery model (for example LX F12.8-H-20) and usable capacity in kWh.
- The exact inverter model (EH, ET, BH or BT), since a Lynx battery works only with GoodWe inverters.
- Whether the price is before or after the federal discount, and how many STCs were claimed.
- The installation date, since installs from 1 January 2027 earn fewer certificates.
- Written confirmation that the battery is on the Clean Energy Council approved list on that date.
- The warranty conditions: the battery must stay online, stay out of direct sun, and per our review capacity cannot be expanded more than a year after installation.
- Backup, switchboard work and any three-phase surcharge, itemised.

FAQ
How much does a GoodWe battery cost in Australia?
A GoodWe battery costs an estimated A$8,900 to A$10,300 installed (Solar Cobber estimate, not a quote) for a 12.8 kWh Lynx F G2 with a new GoodWe hybrid inverter after the federal discount, as at November 2026. The battery alone is about A$6,900 to A$7,900 installed when an existing GoodWe hybrid inverter is reused.
What is the GoodWe Lynx Home battery price?
A 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2 is estimated at A$6,900 to A$7,900 installed after the federal discount, with an existing GoodWe hybrid inverter. A March 2026 guide put it at about A$11,100 before the discount, which is consistent once the roughly A$3,300 to A$3,500 discount is added back.
How much is a GoodWe 10kWh battery?
A GoodWe 10 kWh ESA averaged A$6,660 installed including the federal rebate on Solar Choice’s data, updated 15 September 2026. A 9.6 kWh Lynx F G2 is estimated from about A$6,000 installed after the discount, before any new inverter.
Does the GoodWe battery price include the inverter?
Usually not for the Lynx F G2, which needs a separate GoodWe hybrid inverter that retailers list at about A$1,960 to A$2,400 for 5 kW (Energyeco and Aussie Solar Tech, November 2026). The GoodWe ESA has the inverter built in, so its price includes one.
How much is the federal rebate on a GoodWe battery?
The federal discount is about A$3,300 to A$3,500 on a 12.8 kWh GoodWe Lynx F G2 installed between 1 May and 31 December 2026, at certificate prices of A$38 to A$40. It falls to about A$2,770 to A$2,920 for installs from 1 January 2027.
Is the GoodWe battery any good?
The GoodWe Lynx F G2 is a sensible mid-priced modular battery with strong owner ratings, but its warranty has more conditions than most. SolarQuotes showed a 4.9 rating from 766 owner ratings as at November 2026, and our GoodWe Lynx review sets out the conditions.
