Our verdict

Growatt suits readers who want a single maker to cover portable stations, home batteries and balcony solar rather than a portable-only range. Output of 7,200 W puts it among the strongest units here, and cells rated to 4,000 cycles suit longer ownership, while the entry price of $799 is high.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Output of 7,200 W ranks 6 of 24, close to the strongest units in this group.
  • Product types run to power station, solar generator and home battery, giving portable and fixed storage from one maker where DATOUBOSS lists power station and home battery.
  • Batteries are lifepo4 with a stated cycle life of 4,000 cycles, and solar input reaches 2,000 W on the Helios model.
  • Warranty cover runs 5 to 10 years, past the site median of 5 years, and availability spans AU, BR and CN.

Cons

  • Entry price of $799 places Growatt at 21 of 27, far above ALLPOWERS at €89.
  • Capacity of 7,200 Wh sits above the portable median of 5,222.4, yet the ranking on that measure is 16 of 28.
  • Support is listed as email, phone and help centre, so live chat is not among the routes offered.
  • Output of 7,200 W and capacity of 7,200 Wh are the ceiling of the range, well under the largest units on the site at 18,000.

Who it suits

  • Households wanting portable power, a fixed home battery and balcony solar from one maker, a wider catalogue than DATOUBOSS at power station and home battery.
  • Buyers who put power delivery ahead of stored energy, since 7,200 W of output ranks 6 of 24.
  • People in the markets listed as AU, BR and CN who want long cover at 5 to 10 years.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers on the tightest budget, since ALLPOWERS lists an entry price of €89 against Growatt's $799.
  • Shoppers who need the very largest units on the market, because the capacity ceiling here is 7,200 Wh.
  • Anyone after a portable and panel catalogue with no home storage, which is what Jackery's power station, solar generator and solar panel covers.

How it compares on our data

Growatt ranks 21 of 27 on price from, so the entry point is the weakest part of the case. Output is the better showing at 6 of 24. Capacity lands mid-table at 16 of 28. The overall score is 8.8, split into cost at 8.5, offer at 9 and trust at 9.2.

Core features

The top of the portable range carries 7,200 Wh of capacity and 7,200 W of output, with 2,000 W of solar input on the Helios model and a stated cycle life of 4,000 cycles. UPS mode is available, which is what keeps sensitive equipment running through a cut in supply. Warranty cover runs 5 to 10 years across the range, so the same terms apply to portable units and fixed home batteries.

The company behind it

Growatt trades as Hong Kong Dingsheng Limited and is headquartered in China. It was founded in 2011, giving it a long record in storage and inverter hardware rather than a recent entry into the category. Support runs on email, phone and help centre: a help centre, email, phone and a community forum, with phone and email as the direct routes.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Growatt power station cost?+

Growatt's portable range starts at $799. Larger units in the same family carry 7,200 Wh of capacity and 7,200 W of output, which is where the extra money goes. Buyers on a smaller budget should weigh that starting price against ALLPOWERS at €89.

How long do Growatt batteries last?+

Cells are lifepo4 chemistry with a stated cycle life of 4,000 cycles. That chemistry is the one most brands in this group use, so longevity here sits in line with the category rather than ahead of it. Warranty cover runs 5 to 10 years on top of the cell rating.

What is the biggest Growatt power station?+

Capacity tops out at 7,200 Wh with 7,200 W of output and 2,000 W of solar input on the Helios model. That puts Growatt near the front of this group on watts while stored energy sits mid-table, so the strength is power delivery rather than endurance.

Does Growatt sell home batteries and balcony solar as well as portable stations?+

It does. Product types run to power station, solar generator and home battery, so a household can take a portable station, a fixed home battery and a balcony solar kit from the same maker. Jackery, by contrast, lists power station, solar generator and solar panel, with no home battery or balcony solar in that set.

Which countries does Growatt sell in?+

The listed markets are AU, BR and CN. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is reachable by email, phone, help centre or the community forum. Buyers outside those markets should check local service cover before ordering, since the range does not ship everywhere the company operates.

Will a Growatt station keep a computer running during an outage?+

UPS mode is available, which is what keeps a router, NAS or laptop running when the supply drops. With 7,200 Wh of capacity on the largest unit, the reserve covers an evening of essential load rather than a full house, so it suits backup for the office rather than the whole home.

How do I get help from Growatt?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering a help centre, email, phone and a community forum. Live chat is not in that list, so phone and email are the direct routes. The company trades as Hong Kong Dingsheng Limited, is headquartered in China and was founded in 2011.

How does the Growatt warranty compare with other brands?+

Cover runs 5 to 10 years, while the median warranty across brands on this site is 5 years. Portable units in this group run from 2 years at the low end to 10 years at the top, so Growatt sits at the upper end of the field.
