Solis S6 5kW Single-Phase Low-Voltage Hybrid Inverter with Screen

Solis S6 5kW Single-Phase Low-Voltage Hybrid Inverter with Screen

The Solis S6 5kW Single-Phase Low-Voltage Hybrid Inverter is an advanced solar energy management solution designed for homes, offices and small businesses. It combines solar panel input, low-voltage battery storage, grid power and generator compatibility in one reliable hybrid inverter.

The Solis S6-EH1P5K-L-PLUS provides a rated output power of 5000W and supports suitable lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries operating between 40V and 60V. It includes a large 7-inch LCD display, Bluetooth and app connectivity, allowing customers and installers to view important operating information directly from the inverter.

Main Benefit

The main benefit of the Solis 5kW Low-Voltage Hybrid Inverter is its ability to provide reliable solar energy savings and fast backup power during grid interruptions. The inverter can use available solar energy to power connected appliances, charge the battery bank and reduce electricity usage from the grid.

When grid power fails, the automatic switchover time is less than 4ms. This allows suitable essential loads to continue operating with minimal disruption when a correctly sized battery bank is installed.

Hybrid Inverter Technology

The Solis S6 5kW Hybrid Inverter supports solar panels, battery storage, grid electricity and generator integration. This makes it suitable for customers who require a flexible solar system that can reduce grid electricity consumption while providing backup power during load shedding or unexpected grid failures.

The inverter also supports multiple inverter operation to form a microgrid when a larger system is required. This provides flexibility for installations that may need additional inverter capacity in future.

Solar Panel Compatibility

The Solis S6 5kW Hybrid Inverter supports a recommended maximum solar panel array size of up to 10000W and a maximum usable PV input power of up to 8000W. This allows customers to install a suitably sized solar array for improved daytime energy production and battery charging.

The inverter includes 2 independent MPPT trackers with support for 2 solar panel strings. Its MPPT voltage range is 90V to 435V, while the maximum PV input voltage is 500V. The solar start-up voltage is 90V.

Correct string design remains important. The solar panel voltage and current must remain within the inverter operating limits under expected weather conditions.

Battery Compatibility

The Solis 5kW Low-Voltage Hybrid Inverter supports suitable lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems operating between 40V and 60V. Communication with compatible lithium batteries is supported through CAN and RS485 interfaces.

The inverter supports a maximum battery charging and discharging power of up to 5000W and a maximum battery charging and discharging current of up to 112A. The battery bank should be selected according to the required backup time, expected electrical loads and the discharge limits of the chosen battery system.

Generator Compatibility

The Solis S6 5kW Hybrid Inverter is generator-compatible, allowing a suitable generator to help extend backup duration during prolonged grid outages. This is useful for properties where reliable power is required during extended electricity interruptions or periods of limited solar production.

The inverter is designed to maintain stable power delivery even when the incoming grid or generator supply fluctuates. Correct generator sizing and professional configuration remain important.

Dual Backup Ports and Load Management

The Solis S6 PLUS model supports dual backup ports for intelligent control of critical and non-critical loads. This allows the solar system to prioritise essential appliances during power interruptions while managing less important loads separately.

Critical loads may include lighting, internet equipment, security systems, televisions, computers and selected refrigeration appliances. High-consumption appliances should be assessed carefully during system planning.

Fast Backup Switchover

The Solis 5kW Hybrid Inverter provides an automatic backup switchover time of less than 4ms. This helps suitable essential loads continue operating during load shedding or grid failures with minimal interruption.

The inverter also supports up to twice its rated backup output power for 10 seconds. This helps accommodate temporary appliance start-up requirements, provided the overall solar system and battery bank are correctly sized.

Screen, Monitoring and Communication

The Solis S6 5kW Hybrid Inverter includes a large 7-inch LCD display for convenient local monitoring and configuration. Bluetooth and app connectivity are included, allowing customers and installers to access important inverter information more easily.

The inverter supports RS485 and CAN communication interfaces. Optional WiFi, GPRS and LAN monitoring accessories are also available for customers who require additional remote monitoring functionality.

Performance

The Solis S6 5kW Hybrid Inverter provides a maximum efficiency of up to 96.2% and an EU efficiency of up to 96.1%. Its maximum battery charging efficiency is up to 95.3% from solar panels and up to 93.9% from AC power. Maximum battery-to-AC discharge efficiency is up to 93.8%.

The IP66-rated enclosure provides improved protection against dust and water exposure. The inverter uses natural cooling, helping reduce operating noise and maintenance requirements.
