Are Huawei solar inverters still sold in Australia?
Huawei solar inverters (and batteries) were sold in Australia for quite some time but, as of February 2024, they are no longer sold here under that name. If you have Huawei branded solar inverters, there should be no need to worry because you shouldn't be affected in any way: Products will continue to be serviced or replaced as required.
What is Huawei solar inverter?
The Huawei solar inverter has emerged as a dominant force in the global solar market, representing one of the most sophisticated and reliable inverter solutions available in 2025.
Will the US ban Huawei inverters?
Following the arrest and potential extradition of Huawei's chief financial officer, a U.S. federal government ban on the company's import of key components, tariffs on Chinese-made inverters and 11 senators asking the federal government to ban Huawei inverters – on rather sketchy factual grounds – perhaps a retreat was inevitable.
Where can I buy a Huawei inverter?
Compatible products can be bought from iStore. Items no longer being sold here under the Huawei brand include the Smart Energy Centre or SUN2000 solar inverters and the Luna2000 home battery. If you want a Huawei inverter or battery, you can get one that is fully compatible with them from iStore.
