ET 40&50K
40/50kW | Three Phase | 3/4 MPPTs Hybrid Inverter (HV)
GoodWe’s ET Series inverters, available in 40kW and 50kW capacities, are designed for commercial and industrial PV installations. These adaptable inverters seamlessly integrate into both on-grid and off-grid applications, facilitating parallel connections in either scenario. When paired with the Static Transfer Switch (STS) Box from GoodWe, the inverter not only ensures dependable UPS-level switching to backup mode but also interacts with diesel generators to efficiently replenish batteries. Moreover, the ET Series is compatible with diverse battery capacities and brands, including the GoodWe Lynx C, offering a comprehensive energy storage solution.
Product Details
The ET-50K is a 50kW three-phase hybrid inverter engineered for commercial rooftops, industrial facilities, and microgrid projects. Delivering 98.1% peak conversion efficiency with IP66 outdoor-rated protection, it handles both on-grid self-consumption and full off-grid backup from a single, wall-mounted unit.With support for high-voltage batteries across a 200–800V range and up to 150% DC input oversizing, the ET-50K is the procurement-friendly choice for EPCs, distributors, and project developers who need flexibility without complexity.
Factories, warehouses, cold-storage facilities, and office complexes in the 50–500kW range are the primary market for the ET-50K. The inverter's peak-shaving capability directly reduces demand charges on commercial electricity tariffs — often the single largest component of an industrial energy bill. The parallel operation feature means the system can grow with the client's load, adding units without replacing existing infrastructure.
Key applications: peak demand reduction, TOU arbitrage, self-consumption maximisation, zero-export mode for grid-constrained sites.
For remote sites — telecom towers, mining operations, agricultural stations, or island communities — the ET-50K supports full off-grid operation with automatic diesel generator synchronisation. The -35°C to +60°C operating range covers extreme climate deployments without derating concerns. Multiple units in off-grid parallel mode enable scalable power plants up to several hundred kilowatts.
Key applications: remote industrial power, DG replacement/reduction, island microgrids, agricultural pumping.
The ET-50K's 100A bidirectional battery current capability and wide 200–800V HV battery range make it well-suited for standalone BESS deployments focused on frequency response, demand response, or energy arbitrage. CAN BMS communication enables advanced battery management and state-of-charge control required in commercial energy storage contracts.
Key applications: grid services, demand response programmes, time-of-use arbitrage, backup power.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for the ET-50K?
MOQ is negotiable depending on model and destination market. We typically work with buyers starting from 3–5 units for evaluation or pilot projects, with tiered pricing available from 20 units onwards. Contact our sales team for a project-specific quote.
Q: Which battery brands are compatible with the ET-50K?
The ET-50K supports all high-voltage LFP and NMC batteries within the 200–800V range via standard CAN BMS communication. Validated brands include BYD, CATL-based stacks, Pylontech Force H, GoodWe Lynx C, and others. Custom battery compatibility testing can be arranged for OEM buyers.
Q: Can multiple ET-50K units be paralleled for larger installations?
Yes. Multiple units operate in parallel for both on-grid and off-grid modes, scaling from 50kW to 500kW+ on a single inverter platform. This simplifies spare parts management and reduces training overhead for installation teams working across large commercial portfolios.
Q: Does the backup (UPS) function require additional hardware?
Yes — UPS-level backup requires the GoodWe STS Box (Static Transfer Switch), sold separately. The STS Box enables sub-20ms load transfer time, which is essential for clients with sensitive industrial loads or zero-downtime requirements. We can supply the STS Box as a kit with the inverter.
