GoodWe SMT 50–60 kW

Compatibility

Confirm the exact SMT variant and read-only point map

The EMEA datasheet and V2.2 manual document RS485 and Modbus RTU (SunSpec compliant) for the named models. They do not provide a model- and firmware-matched register table, installed address, permission boundary or proven Edge read path.

Confirm GW50KS-MT, GW60KS-MT, GW50KS-MT-EU or GW60KS-MT-EU on the nameplate, current inverter software, grid code, terminal type, communications module, SEC1000 or EzLogger and grid meter. Use a current GoodWe point map and installer-approved read access; no active/reactive-power, export-limit, shutdown or grid-protection write is approved.

Models

Specifications

GoodWe’s EMEA September 2025 datasheet covers four exact 50–60 kW SMT names: two base GW50KS/GW60KS-MT models and two -EU versions. Each 50 kW unit has five MPPTs, each 60 kW unit six; all list two strings per tracker, 1100 V maximum DC input and nominal 230/400 V three-phase output.²

Exact EMEA names

PV trackers

Five at 50 kW; six at 60 kW; two strings per MPPT²

DC limits

1100 V maximum input; 200–950 V MPPT range; 30 A maximum per MPPT²

EMEA grid-code groups

Base group excludes UK; -EU group lists G99/G100 and VDE-AR-N 4110 among its codes²

Communications

RS485 and Modbus RTU (SunSpec compliant); base group lists optional 4G, -EU group lists WiFi^2, 3

RS485 connection

European/Indian 5-pin variant: A1/B1 data pairs and separate signal ground; inspect actual terminal³

Enclosure and mass

IP65; 55 kg base models or 56 kg -EU models²

LCD and options

LCD optional; AFCI and PID recovery optional in the EMEA table²

Interface

Documented measurements and integration boundaries for SMT 50–60 kW.

• The EMEA V1.1 sheet separates base and -EU grid-code lists: the base group expressly excludes UK grid code, while the -EU group names G99, G100 and VDE-AR-N 4110. An inverter rating or datasheet code is not a site connection approval.
• The V2.2 manual shows a 5-pin RS485 connector for Europe and India, with A1/B1 pairs for inverters, a smart meter or logger and pin 5 as signal ground, not protective earth. Other connector versions exist in the wider manual; verify the installed terminal before wiring.
• GoodWe shows SEC1000 or EzLogger Pro/EzLogger3000C with a separate smart meter for parallel or export-control arrangements. Inverter AC generation does not itself measure point-of-common-coupling import or export.
• The EMEA technical table lists Modbus RTU as SunSpec compliant. It does not disclose the installed software’s models, register offsets, scaling, unavailable-value rules or simultaneous logger access. Do not import a generic SunSpec map without identification and readback.
• The official product photo shows an LCD face, while the EMEA sheet says LCD is optional for the 50–60 kW units. Use it to identify the housing, not as proof of the ordered display or communication accessory.
• Remote shutdown is a documented European electrical function, not a permission to send inverter or grid-control commands from Edge.

Setup

1. Read the complete SMT nameplate

   Record 50 or 60 kW and whether -EU is printed, then note current software and country grid code. The EMEA base and -EU groups carry different approvals and communications options.

2. Trace the communications terminal

   Identify the actual RS485 connector and logger or smart meter. For the manual’s 5-pin Europe/India version, keep signal ground distinct from protective earth; check bus addressing and termination with the installer.

3. Preserve the site meter and control owner

   Map SEC1000 or EzLogger arrangements, point-of-common-coupling meter and export limitation before adding a reader. Record who owns shutdown and active/reactive-power settings.

4. Obtain the firmware-matched read map

   Request GoodWe’s authorised map for the exact SMT variant, inverter software and selected logger. Confirm supported SunSpec models, function and address conventions, scaling, quality flags and read permissions.

5. Prove an identified measurement

   With installer approval, compare live inverter identity, timestamp and AC power to GoodWe’s local display or management view. Check grid import/export against the separate meter.

Common questions

Does the SMT 50 kW model have six MPPTs?

No. The EMEA sheet gives five MPPTs to both 50 kW versions and six to both 60 kW versions. All four specify two strings per tracker.²

Can a base GW50KS-MT be used for a UK G99 site?

The EMEA sheet expressly says the base grid-code group is not applicable for UK grid code. Its -EU group names G99 and G100; the installer must still verify the exact certificate and connection approval.²

Does SunSpec compliance establish a ready Edge import?

No. The sheet names Modbus RTU with SunSpec compliance, but the retained documents do not identify the installed firmware’s point table, address convention, read permissions or Edge wiring. Confirm those before importing values.^2, 3

Does SMT output show a building’s net export?

No. A site meter at the point of common coupling is needed to distinguish generation, consumption, import and export. GoodWe’s system examples place a smart meter beside the inverter/logger network.^1, 3

Is the display in the product photo always fitted?

No. The EMEA table treats the LCD as optional for the 50–60 kW models. Confirm the actual unit and communication module.^1, 2
