    GoodWe's "Limited Warranty for GE-branded Solar Inverters for North America", printed "Rev: 1.2 20211119" on every page (the file name on the host says Rev 1.3). It says "GoodWe Technologies Co.,Ltd, the Manufacturer of GE-branded solar inverters" warrants the GE-branded solar inverters sold in the United States market, and its item 1 lists a 10-year limited warranty for 22 models: GEC and GEH 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 7.6, 8.6 and 9.6 1U-US10, and GEC and GEH 5.0, 6.0, 7.6, 9.6 and 11.4 1U-US20. It applies to products sold and installed after October 1, 2021. This copy was obtained from sunwatts.com, a distributor (gesolarinverter.com, the maker's GE-brand site, presents an expired TLS certificate and was not fetched), captured 2026-10-13 at 06:11:33 UTC by Alternative Research.

Evidence score

57/100Missing details75% documented

The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.

Missing details. This number counts only the evidence recorded so far. The source review for this product is not finished, or the maker has not disclosed enough, so the number can only go up.

Missing for this product: Battery conversion efficiency needed; Idle consumption needed.

Each input is scored against the best documented value for an inverter: warranty term and battery conversion efficiency against every published inverter, idle consumption (lower is better) against the inverters in the same output band, or against every published inverter when the output is not documented. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0 and is listed as missing. Researched products receive a score. Certificates earn points for the evidence itself. Size and weight do not affect scores.
