Goodwe – Lynx Home U Series 5.4-32.4 kWh LifePO4 Battery – 10-GOO-900

The Lynx Home U Series from GoodWe is a modular low-voltage lithium battery solution purpose-built for residential energy storage applications. Designed to serve homes seeking both self-consumption (storing solar energy for use during the day or evening) and backup power capability, it offers flexibility in capacity, simplified installation, and compatibility with selected GoodWe inverters.

Features & Benefits

• Modular & Scalable Capacity: You can install a single 5.4 kWh unit initially, and later add modules (up to six) to reach 32.4 kWh, aligning storage size with evolving needs (for example, adding rooftop solar now, and commissioning battery later). This modularity lowers upfront investment and supports future expansion.
• Plug-and-Play & Simplified Installation: The system features pre-wired communication cables, “auto-recognition” of modules (i.e., modules detect each other when connected) and simplified wiring, which reduces installation labour, time, and potential errors.
• High Safety & Reliability: The use of LiFePO₄ chemistry offers better thermal and chemical stability than many alternative lithium chemistries. Combined with an IP65 enclosure, the battery is suitable for outdoor installation in many climates (important in places with variable weather). Additional features like remote diagnosis, auto reboot after undervoltage, and built-in BMS ensure system stability.
• Integration with GoodWe Inverters: The product is explicitly compatible with GoodWe’s single-phase hybrid inverters (ES / EM / SBP series) allowing a one-stop solution from inverter + storage. That paired integration simplifies procurement and support, and can reduce compatibility risks.
• Flexible Use Cases: Self-Consumption & Backup: For homeowners in Tanzania, the battery can store excess daytime solar generation (for example from rooftop PV) and dispatch it during peak-tariff hours or in the evening. Additionally, when combined with the right inverter and system setup, it can provide backup power during grid outages, an increasingly relevant feature in power-interrupted regions.

Use Cases

• Residential Solar + Storage: Many Tanzanian homeowners are installing rooftop solar to offset high electricity tariffs or unstable supply. The Lynx Home U series allows such households to store surplus energy for later use (evening, night), increasing self-consumption and reducing reliance on the grid.
• Areas with Grid Instability or Outages: For homes in suburban or rural areas where power cuts are common, this battery can support an inverter to provide backup power (lights, refrigeration, fans) during outages, enhancing home resilience.
• Future-proofing for Solar + EV or Load Growth: As households grow (additional appliances, EV charging) or wish to expand solar arrays in the future, the modular nature of the battery means they can scale storage later without replacing the entire system.
• Commercial/Small Business Use: Small SMEs in Tanzania (shops, guest houses, clinics) that rely on solar to reduce fuel-generator usage may use the Lynx Home U series to smooth demand, enable load shifting, and reduce generator fuel costs.

Value Propositions

• Modular & scalable capacity: single-pack offers 5.4 kWh usable energy, and the system can scale up to 32.4 kWh by combining up to six packs.
• Plug-and-play installation: pre-wired communication cables and auto-recognition of modules simplify wiring and commissioning, saving installation time and labour.
• Integrated BMS in each pack: each battery module is a standalone unit with built-in management, eliminating the need for a separate power control unit (PCU) and reducing system complexity.
• High safety & reliability: uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄ / LFP) cell technology, known for high cycle stability and inherent safety advantages.
• Indoor/outdoor suitability: IP65 rated enclosure allows for installation in both indoor or outdoor environments—including rooftops, walls or ground mounting—providing flexibility in Tanzanian home settings.
• Broad inverter compatibility: designed to integrate seamlessly with GoodWe ES / EM / SBP hybrid inverters (and single-phase hybrid/retrofit models), enabling a one-stop-shop solution for solar + storage deployment.
• Backup and self-consumption use cases: supports both daily self-consumption of solar generation and backup power capability during grid outages, which is highly relevant for Tanzania’s power environment.
• Long warranty and peace of mind: backed by a 10-year product and performance warranty, giving home owners confidence in their investment.
• Compact form factor: module depth is only ~175 mm (for the example 505 × 570 × 175 mm module), enabling wall or floor mounting in residential settings with space constraints.
• Future-proof & expandable: Because additional modules can be added over time, the system can grow with the home’s energy needs or allow for greater storage as budgets permit.

Local Market Positioning in Tanzania

• High-end Residential Storage: Position this battery as a premium but accessible solution for homeowners looking to step into full energy-storage capability, not just simple inverters or small UPS units.
• Outdoor Friendly in Tropical Climates: With IP65 rating, the battery accommodates installation even in covered outdoor structures, which is relevant in regions where indoor dedicated battery rooms may be less common.
• Brand & Support Assurance: Emphasise GoodWe’s global reputation, local service network (if existing), and 10-year warranty to build confidence in Tanzanian customers who may be wary of imported battery systems.
• Expandability & Future-Proofing: In Tanzania’s growing PV market, not all customers will install large solar arrays immediately. Offering a battery that can start small and grow helps address budget-sensitive segments while retaining upgrade pathways.
• Reducing Grid Dependence and Fuel Costs: Messaging around storing solar energy for night use or for backup can resonate in Tanzanian context where grid supply can be unreliable and diesel generators are still used for backup.
