Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module specifications

Manufacturer figures, gathered so you can read them against everything else we track rather than against the marketing page they came from.

Where the Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module sits in its band

We track 61 priced units in the inverters, switches & controllers band, running from $16.99 to $3,799. At $399.95 the Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module is the 35 cheapest of 61. Because Goal Zero does not publish a capacity for this model, we cannot rank it on cost per watt-hour, which is the measure we would normally lead with. Price position on its own tells you where it sits in the range but not whether it is good value, and those are genuinely different questions.

Who the Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module suits

This is an accessory rather than a standalone product, so the question is not whether it is good in isolation but whether the system you already own needs it.

Check compatibility against your specific model before ordering: within a single manufacturer, connectors and firmware requirements change between generations more often than the marketing suggests.

What to check before you buy

• Confirm compatibility with your specific model and generation rather than with the product family.
• Check whether installation needs an electrician. Transfer switches and inlet boxes are wired into a distribution board, and in most jurisdictions that is not owner work.
• Read the warranty terms on the host unit. Third-party accessories occasionally void cover, and manufacturer accessories occasionally extend it.

Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module questions

Can the Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module be charged by solar?

Goal Zero does not publish a maximum solar input for this model. Rather than estimate one, we leave it out. Check the manual that ships with the unit before buying panels for it.

What warranty does the Goal Zero Yeti Link Expansion Module carry?

Goal Zero covers it for 2 years. Cycle life and warranty are different promises, and the cycle figure is the one that tells you how long the pack stays useful.

What is not published

Goal Zero does not state the watt-hour capacity, which is the single figure runtime depends on, the rated cycle life, the maximum solar input, the continuous AC output for this model. We list figures rather than estimate them, so those rows stay empty until the manufacturer publishes them. If you need one of them to make the decision, ask Goal Zero directly and hold them to the answer.

How we assess these

Every figure on this page comes from the manufacturer, and every derived number, cost per watt-hour and estimated runtime, is calculated the same way for all 437 products we track. That is what makes the comparison meaningful: we are not scoring units against a private impression of them, we are putting published figures side by side and doing the arithmetic in public. Where a manufacturer stays quiet, we say so rather than filling the gap.
