The winners of Australia’s peak international design awards were announced during the 2021 Good Design Awards Week. Delta Electronics H8E / H10E Hybrid Solar Inverter received a Good Design Award Gold Accolade in the Product Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation.

Delta's exciting new H8E / H10E Hybrid Solar Inverter is the first of its kind to truly meet the modern requirements of Australian solar consumers. This cost cost-effective development is a battery-ready DC coupled hybrid that comes with a built-in compliant DC Isolator and built-in power meter for consumption monitoring and export control. 

The in class H8E / H10E is equipped with 4xMPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) to support multiple roof orientations. It features a “plug-less” connection with a rear cable option and has no external fans, maintaining a minimalist aesthetic and a quiet presence.

The Australian Good Design Awards is the country’s oldest and most prestigious international awards for design and innovation dating back to 1958. The 2021 Good Design Awards attracted a record number of submissions with 933 design projects evaluated by more than 70 Australian and international Jurors.

The Good Design Awards Jury commented: “Delta Electronics looks professionally designed and well executed. It's got great functionality in a simple and clean form, with real sustainability benefits that support solar across multiple and difficult roof orientations.”

Dr. Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia, said: “Receiving an Australian Good Design Award is testament to embedding design excellence at the heart of a product, service, place or experience.”

David Leal, Delta Electronics Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, responded: “Given the very challenging markets Delta Electronics Australia operates in, being innovative in design is a fundamental drive of our whole organization. Therefore being recognised for this with an Australian Good Design Award is particularly exciting for the complete team.”Image: Geordie Zaphiris & Thomas Chen stand proudly with the winning design.
