MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GoodWe is pleased to announce the arrival of the ET G2 Series in Australia and New Zealand, a 6-15kW three-phase high-voltage hybrid inverter tailored to meet the evolving energy needs of modern households. The latest addition to GoodWe's product portfolio has been thoughtfully designed to offer homeowners a reliable and efficient solution for increasing energy consumption. With expanded power options of 12kW and 15kW, the ET G2 delivers enhanced performance while blending seamlessly into residential settings with its sleek and modern design.
Built with flexibility in mind, the ET G2 comes equipped with 200% DC oversizing, 98.2% efficiency, and an inbuilt smart meter to simplify energy monitoring. Its advanced design includes up to three Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) to maximise energy generation in variable conditions. For households with growing energy demands, the inverter supports parallel connections of up to six units, providing scalability for future needs.
The ET G2 is tailored to address the specific requirements of Australian and New Zealand households, offering features like smart load control, 100% unbalanced output, and streamlined installation to provide both versatility and ease of use for homeowners and installers alike.
To further enhance energy storage capabilities, the ET G2 is fully compatible with GoodWe's Lynx F G2 battery storage system, which has recently been approved by the Clean Energy Council (CEC). The Lynx F G2 now requires only two modules (6.4kWh) as a minimum, offering greater flexibility and efficiency for homeowners. With backup power activation in under 10 milliseconds, the Lynx F G2 ensures essential loads remain operational during outages. Its IP66 rating and scalable modular design make it a practical and durable solution for both residential and small business installations.
Dean Williamson, Country Manager at GoodWe Australia and New Zealand, commented:
"GoodWe offers the largest range of inverter products on the market, and the ET G2 now strengthens our growing range of energy storage solutions, from 6kW to 30kW three-phase systems with paralleling capabilities. The added flexibility of additional MPPTs ensures maximising roof space, while the inbuilt meter provides improved ease of installation and decreases both cost and installation time for installers onsite.
We look forward to 2025 when GoodWe will continue releasing more exciting new energy storage products for residential and commercial scale applications."

GoodWe Introduces the Next-Generation ET G2 Series: High-Performance Hybrid Inverter for Residential Applications
Appian research reveals that data challenges remain in spite of digital initiatives, impacting efficiency, reporting, customer service, and compliance
SYDNEY, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to new research from Appian (Nasdaq: APPN), Australian energy companies face data accessibility challenges. 78% of them have adopted new digital tools in the past five years but data silos remain a challenge.
As energy prices continue to soar across Australia, scrutiny from consumers, government and businesses has also intensified. Data accessibility shortcomings mean many energy companies struggle to make informed business decisions and meet escalating industry and customer service demands.
The report, Appian Asia-Pacific Data Trends Survey 2024: Opportunities and impediments for data-driven enterprise growth, which surveyed over 300 professionals across the energy, utilities and oil and gas sectors, shows that nearly half (49%) of respondents cited data accessibility as a major challenge. More than 76% of respondents also indicated that they have had to work with incomplete or inaccessible data.
"Energy companies are under more pressure than ever before to streamline operations and respond quickly to market changes and demands," said Luke Thomas, Area Vice President of Asia-Pacific and Japan at Appian. "This is driven by heightened scrutiny over recent energy price spikes, alongside efforts to support Australia's goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
"Our research results show that digital adoption alone is not enough. Without a unified approach to data management, organisations risk not realising the full value of their digital investments and not keeping up with market demands," Thomas warned.
The problem: data silos
The survey found that 42% of respondents pointed to data silos as a primary concern. Data often remains in different systems as energy companies grow and acquire new applications. Data locked away in lots of different systems is hard to access and use, posing a major problem for workers.
"For Australian energy companies, the biggest cited problem is that organisational information is inaccessible because it's regularly stored in different systems and in different formats," explained Ray Croxon, Area Vice President of Solutions Consulting at Appian. "It's not so much being able to have the data but having it in a format that's easy to consume."
Thomas also raised concern around data silos: "Today, energy companies in Australia heavily rely on digital processes and accurate data to function. Yet due to data silos, their workers operate with incomplete or inadequate information to manage complex and critical operations."
The business impact
The research underscores how data issues are directly affecting critical business areas:
The end of data silos: Appian's solution to data challenges
To address data challenges, Appian advocates strategically implementing a modern process automation platform with a data fabric. Platforms with data fabric give decision makers a complete picture of their enterprise in real time, at scale.
"A data fabric is an architectural layer and toolkit that seamlessly integrates data across disparate systems, whether on-premises or in the cloud. By creating a centralised, unified view, a data fabric helps … these companies leverage their digital investments for meaningful business outcomes," concluded Thomas.
Appian's data fabric unifies, secures, and optimizes enterprise data. It lets organizations use their data to build impactful and data-rich digital solutions combined with automation, AI, and low-code design. It works by connecting and unifying data across enterprise systems in an integrated data layer. And because of Appian's low-code controls and auto-optimized performance, data fabric reduces the burden of integration and data management, so you can democratize data access and make smarter decisions faster.
