This article summarizes the key installation steps for the GoodWe ES-US hybrid inverter, Lynx FH-US battery, and ABD backup device.
5–11.4 kW split-phase hybrid inverter
Up to 4 MPPT inputs
Battery voltage range: 80–495 V
Continuous charge/discharge: 50 A
PV maximum voltage: 600 VDC
Stackable high-voltage battery system
3–6 battery modules per stack
Capacity range: 9.6–19.2 kWh
BMS communication via CAN
Whole-home or partial backup switching
Split-phase 120/240 V
Inverter breaker options: 40 A or 63 A
Type 3R / IP44 outdoor enclosure
Two system layouts are commonly used.
The ABD disconnects the grid during outages and the inverter/battery powers the main service panel.
The ABD feeds a backup loads panel containing critical circuits.
