What Batteries Work with a Huawei?
The Huawei is a hybrid inverter with a DC battery port. DC-coupled batteries connect directly to the inverter DC bus — solar goes to the battery without AC conversion, giving 3-5% higher round-trip efficiency. Only batteries on Huawei's compatibility list will work.
Huawei hybrid inverters are designed for the LUNA2000 battery (sold through iStore in Australia). While the LUNA2000 is the native pairing, BYD HVS/HVM batteries are also supported on Huawei's compatibility list, offering a proven alternative.
