Product overview

Two MPP trackers for residential roofs.

The GW5K-DNS-G40 is the fourth generation of GoodWe’s single-phase, dual-MPPT residential inverter. Each tracker takes one string at up to 20 A across a 40–560 V range, and GoodWe states 200 % PV oversizing. The inverter weighs 9.2 kg, is cooled by natural convection at a stated 25 dB and is rated IP66. AFCI, rapid shutdown and power supply at night are options.
