GoodWe Lynx Home F 13.10 kWh (PCU base + 4 x LX F3.3-H)
Description
Storage expansion without touching existing solar strings.
GoodWe GW5K-BT is a 5 kW three-phase AC-coupled storage inverter delivering 5,000 VA continuous battery charge/discharge and sub-10 ms UPS backup, engineered to upgrade existing grid-tied solar systems to high-voltage battery storage without rewiring rooftop DC strings.
Drop-In Three-Phase AC Storage Retrofit
Adds high-voltage battery storage to any existing three-phase solar installation without altering rooftop arrays.
5,000 VA Continuous Battery Throughput
Rapidly absorbs daytime solar surpluses from existing inverters, discharging on-demand during evening domestic peaks.
Direct High-Voltage Battery Interface (180–600 V)
Pairs natively with GoodWe Lynx Home F and Lynx D battery stacks at up to 25 A charge/discharge speed.
Sub-10 ms Seamless Emergency Power
Automatically keeps critical three-phase home circuits powered during unexpected utility blackouts.
More product details
Upgrading an existing solar system by replacing inverters requires costly DC rewiring, scaffolding, and system downtime. The GW5K-BT connects straight to the home's 400 V AC distribution board, capturing surplus solar from the AC grid.
- Connects directly to the main domestic AC panel beside existing string inverters of any manufacturer.
- Measures household grid import/export in real time via the GoodWe GM3000 smart meter.
- Automatically schedules charging during solar overproduction peaks and off-peak utility tariff windows.

Direct high-voltage battery coupling with instant emergency power.
Direct high-voltage battery pairing (180–600 V) eliminates heavy step-up conversion losses, while internal high-speed switchgear provides sub-10 ms emergency power. Pairs directly with GoodWe Lynx Home F (6.55–16.38 kWh) and Lynx D high-voltage batteries at up to 25 A. Sub-10 ms automatic UPS transfer keeps home computers, routers, and heating electronics live during outages. IP66 cast-aluminum casing allows clean indoor utility mounting or outdoor sheltered installation (-35 to +60 °C).
Takes 25 A into 180 to 600 V packs
A dedicated battery interface moves charge and discharge current up to 25 A. High-voltage lithium chemistry matches the port without a low-voltage converter stage.
Fits a 415 x 516 x 180 mm wall frame
The 21.0 kg enclosure measures 415 x 516 x 180 mm. IP66 sealing keeps dust and weather off the electronics on an interior or exterior wall.
Talks over RS485, WiFi or LAN
Local commissioning and fleet monitoring share the same ports. RS485 plus WiFi or LAN sit in the chassis without an external gateway box.
Technical data
Adding high-voltage battery storage to existing three-phase solar systems without rooftop rewiring.
5 kW three-phase AC-coupled storage retrofit unit with sub-10 ms UPS backup.
Designed to upgrade existing grid-tied three-phase solar systems to energy storage, the GW5K-BT connects directly to the domestic 400 V AC bus without rewiring existing PV strings or replacing existing inverters. It delivers 5,000 VA continuous battery charge and discharge throughput, capturing daytime solar overproduction to power household circuits overnight with zero fan noise.

Project scenario
Upgrading Existing 5–8 kWp Three-Phase Solar Systems to Battery Storage
Homes with an existing operational three-phase string inverter (of any brand) seeking to add 6.55–10 kWh of battery storage without voiding existing solar warranties or modifying rooftop cables.
Drops straight into the electrical panel beside the existing inverter, capturing AC solar surplus and providing 5 kVA emergency backup.

GoodWe BT Series 5-10kW AC-Coupled Retrofit Inverter Datasheet GoodWe ET/ET+/BT Series User ManualProduct questions
Does the GW5K-BT have any DC solar panel inputs?
No. It is a pure AC-coupled battery inverter. The GW5K-BT has zero MPPT or solar PV inputs. It is dedicated entirely to charging and discharging high-voltage battery storage from the home's 400 V AC bus. If you need solar PV string inputs on the same inverter, choose a hybrid inverter from the GoodWe GW5K-ET series.
How does the inverter know when to charge from existing solar inverters?
Real-time telemetry from the GoodWe GM3000 smart meter. The system measures total household power at the main utility grid connection point using a GoodWe GM3000 three-phase meter connected via RS485. When existing solar inverters generate more power than the home consumes, the BT inverter immediately absorbs the excess AC power to charge the battery bank.
