Huawei, Fronius, Deye, SOFAR, Solis: which inverter suits whom?

Five inverter brands, five different strengths. A comparison table to help you pick the one that fits your needs.

12 Mar 2026 · 4 min read

There is no inverter that suits everyone, only one that suits a given situation. The comparison below reflects practical installation experience: which brand we recommend to which type of customer. The table values are indicative, and specific warranty and service terms can differ by model and registration, so we always state the current manufacturer conditions when quoting.

Huawei: champion of comfort and monitoring

We recommend it to anyone who wants a simple, elegant, well-monitored system and values a long warranty. The FusionSolar app is among the most convenient. Prices are typically in the upper part of the mid-range, but the 10-year warranty partly offsets that. Hybrid operation requires Huawei's own battery and meter.

Fronius: premium, for the long term

Fronius is popular for its quality manufacturing and mature software, especially among businesses and customers who think long term without compromise. The GEN24 Plus hybrid has flexible backup modes. The price sits in the higher category.

Deye: best value in hybrids

Deye is one of the most popular choices for battery systems. It offers a built-in backup output, broad battery compatibility and a good price, which is why it is common in grant-funded storage projects. It has many settings at commissioning, so entrust it to an experienced installer.

SOFAR: a dependable middle path

If you are looking for a balance between Deye and Huawei, SOFAR hybrid and grid-tied products can be a good choice. Single-phase and three-phase versions, several battery options and a balanced price.

Solis: simple and affordable

Solis suits smaller budgets and simple requirements. Its grid-tied inverters are proven and need few settings, and on the hybrid side it is a cost-effective alternative.

How to choose

Three points are always worth weighing: the warranty terms (and what must be registered to extend them), local service support in Hungary, and battery compatibility, which is key for future expansion. Good sizing and professional installation often matter more than the brand. Send us your bill and roof details and we will price three variants.
