GoodWe HT 100–120 kW

Commercial PV inverter

GoodWe specifies SunSpec-compliant Modbus RTU for GW100K-HT, GW110K-HT, GW120K-HT. Use read-only model discovery as a best-effort starting point, followed by a power comparison with the inverter interface. The procedure below applies when the commissioned inverter bus returns SunSpec; it does not assume a fixed register layout or a ready-made Edge import.

Compatibility

Direct Edge integration not yet verified

The exact-family datasheet specifies SunSpec-compliant Modbus RTU. The public SunSpec discovery and model definitions provide a starting read without a firmware-specific vendor map. Installed bus ownership and returned models still determine the usable interface; no physical Edge test is claimed.

Retain the exact model, region and fitted communications accessory. Use the inverter communications bus for read-only discovery and compare identity and AC power with the local interface. Keep existing meter, logger, export-limiting and protection roles intact.

Specifications

GW100K-HT is rated 100 kW with ten MPPTs; GW110K-HT and GW120K-HT are rated 110 and 120 kW with twelve MPPTs. All three are 400 V three-phase models in the retained datasheet.2

Interface

Documented measurements and integration boundaries for HT 100–120 kW.

  • Potential inverter identity, production and state points require an exact firmware-matched GoodWe map before publication.
  • A logger or accessory value must be attributed to its actual measurement point rather than assumed to be an inverter value.
  • No setpoint, export-control or protection point is approved by this guide.

Assessment

GW100K-HT, GW110K-HT or GW120K-HT pending exact third-party interface evidence.

InteroperabilityLimited
The exact family is labelled SunSpec Modbus RTU, but the public manual does not establish a direct third-party client contract or exact map.12
AccuracyNot yet assessed
The retained documents do not identify the exact readable point set, data types, units or unavailable-value behavior for a third-party client.12
SecurityLimited
The named Modbus RTU interface has no documented authentication or encryption, so any future path would require physical and client controls.2
ReliabilitySupported with conditions
Electrical, environmental and installation limits are published; third-party communication recovery remains unverified.12
RuggednessSupported with conditions
IP66, temperature and installation limits are published for the exact HT ratings.12
ScalabilityLimited
Multi-inverter and GoodWe logger topologies are shown, but third-party addressing, client coexistence and polling limits are not established.13
LifecycleSupported with conditions
GoodWe publishes revisioned exact-family manuals and accessory compatibility material; the missing protocol revision must be retained before integration.123

Setup

  1. Record the exact model

    Capture GW100K-HT, GW110K-HT or GW120K-HT, the full product code, serial number, firmware and installed communication module.

  2. Map the commissioned topology

    Identify every inverter, GoodWe logger, SEC1000 or Smart Energy Controller, smart meter and RS-485 chain. Record which device is the client and which are servers.

  3. Discover the published SunSpec models

    On an installer-approved inverter RS-485 bus, use the configured server address and serial settings with one client. FC03 reads two registers at wire addresses 0, 40000 or 50000 to find the SunSpec signature 53 75 6E 53. Read each model header (ID and length), advance by length + 2, and stop at ID 65535. Record the returned model IDs; do not assume model 103 or fixed positions.

  4. Keep control outside the proposal

    Do not propose export limitation, active-power control, reactive-power control or grid-setting writes. Those functions belong to a separately engineered vendor control system.

  5. Reassess before drawing a route

    If discovery returns model 103, let H be its header wire address. FC03 at H + 14, quantity 2, reads signed int16 W and W_SF. Power = W × 10^W_SF; 0x8000 means unavailable. Synthetic H = 40070 gives PDU 03 9C 94 00 02; bytes 30 39 FF FF mean 12345 × 10^-1 = 1234.5 W. Compare with GoodWe’s interface. Model 113 or another returned model needs its own definition.

Common questions

Does SunSpec-compliant Modbus RTU prove a direct Edge path?
The datasheet supports a useful SunSpec discovery starting point. Discover the models on the installed inverter bus and use the definition actually returned; the model-103 example below is conditional. A ready-made Edge import, logger northbound API and control writes are separate from that read-only procedure.1245
Can the smart-meter port be used as the inverter-monitoring bus?
The manual assigns distinct accessory and logger roles. Do not repurpose a meter connection or assume that its measurements represent inverter production.1
Does this guide support export or power control?
No. GoodWe documents vendor controllers for such functions, but this guide publishes no Edge control route or write operation.13
