What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Warranty coverage: 5-year term
Coverage includes
Parts only · term longer than 0 of 95 scored inverters
No inverter in the fleet publishes a year-by-year performance or output guarantee the way panels and batteries do - this shows the covered term against the market-typical term and where every scored inverter’s term lands (grey dots, sized by model count), plus what the warranty actually includes.

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.
Benchmark anchor. The score is anchored to the highest published output in this exact electrical and regional series. Scored model: GW6000-DNS-30 · checked 2026-07-31. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
22 of 22 scored criteria link directly to a published source.
Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.

Rings, outside in: manufacturer claim, certified or regulator-listed, third-party source. The centre is review.solar's own measurement, empty for every product today. Warranty terms and design facts that rest on the maker's own word are counted beside the rings; a reviewed absence, or one that reaches beyond the maker's claim, stays in them.

US Support Note
- Current text
- The DNS G3 family has no United States counterpart part. No DNS code appears in GoodWe's United States download centre or on any California Energy Commission list. GoodWe's United States single-phase grid-tie download series are MS-US and A-MS, and their lowest model ratings are 5 kW (GW5000-MS-US30 and GW5000A-MS), so the lower power classes in this record have no United States equivalent at any part number. GoodWe publishes no separate United States legal entity: the US site imprint names GoodWe Technologies Co., Ltd. of Suzhou, China, with a US contact office at 201 E Pine St #910, Orlando, FL 32801, sales +1 925-304-3430 and service +1 888-418-0775, and a named US distributor list rather than an installer locator. The California Energy Commission lists GoodWe under the Chinese parent company name.

AU Warranty conditions
- Current text
- labour: Service rebates are conditional and not full-term labour cover.; registration: For the ten-year promotion, meet the stated manufacture, installation, registration and SEMS-connection dates; the spare-parts paragraph states no registration or SEMS condition. Claim within one month of failure through the supplying distributor or installer, escalating to GoodWe's service-ticket channel if needed. Provide model/serial, installation and failure dates, fault and prior-action details, claimant and site information. Confirm the RMA before exchange and submit its report within one month of the determined solution. The terms also warn that failure to provide a remote firmware-upgrade path can affect warranty coverage; no allowed offline interval is specified.; remedy: Repair, parts supply or replacement at GoodWe's option.; removal reinstallation: Removal and reinstallation are not an unconditional entitlement.; transferability: No subsequent-owner transfer right was found in the governing terms.; transport: Ground freight is conditional and capped.

Surge protectionWarranty period (yrs)+2 in JSON recordAU Warranty scope
- Before
- Australia; GoodWe's standard terms provide five years of full inverter cover plus a further five years of replacement-parts cover for eligible DNS G3 units, subject to registration and terms.
- After
- GoodWe Technologies Co., Ltd. Rev 5.9, dated 17 September 2026, names DNS G3 for five years of AU/NZ limited cover. The period starts at first installation or 12 months after production, whichever is earlier. A separate paragraph names DNS and DNS G3 for a further five years of spare-parts cover, in which GoodWe bears only the hardware cost of the spare inverter; shipping, labour and on-site costs are excluded. The ten-year all-on-grid promotion requires manufacture after 1 July 2020 and installation, registration and SEMS connection after 1 January 2021; the terms are silent on how the promotion and the spare-parts extension combine. Authorised supply and the supplied unit's governing terms remain controlling.
