About Growatt

Growatt entered the solar inverter market back in 2010 and has grown rapidly to become one of the world’s largest inverters manufacturers. Based in Shenzhen China, Growatt’s first-generation entry-level solar inverters were known to have some quality and reliability issues, but to their credit, the company pushed through and backed its product by servicing many of the warranty claims. Growatt has since released a vast array of updated inverters which have had very good feedback so far and now offers a wide range of solar and energy storage inverter solutions for residential and commercial applications. Still focused on the entry-level market segment, many of the new models have been available for less than 2 years so are yet to prove themselves in the long term. Growatt seems very keen to improve their position and have established local support centres in many countries offering good service in the event of a failure or warranty claim.

The new generation TL-X inverter range is modern looking and available in a range of sizes from 2.5kW to 6.0kW, with dual MPP trackers and a standard 5 year warranty, 10 year warranty options are also available. The monitoring platform, known as ShineServer and ShinePhone (app), is also greatly improved and now offers a good user interface, remote parameter settings, and remote firmware upgrades.
