The Ginlong Solis RHI-3P-HVES-5G series comprises three-phase hybrid inverters, designed for PV installations that not only deliver energy to the grid (grid-tie) but also increase self-consumption and provide backup power. These devices feature a UPS function with extremely fast switching in case of a grid outage, ensuring that critical circuits operate practically without interruption.
The units are equipped with two independent MPPT trackers, which facilitate yield optimization under partial shading and with panels of different roof orientations-each tracker can operate with a different module characteristic. The high European efficiency means better energy production under real operating conditions, not just at the "laboratory" maximum point.
Monitoring can be performed remotely via an app, and communication is available both wired and wirelessly (depending on configuration). The series works with high-voltage energy storage (Li-ion) and supports intelligent energy management (EMS), making it suitable for homes and small to medium commercial properties. An additional advantage is AFCI protection and the standard 10-year warranty commonly found in this class.

Pros and cons
The datasheet for the RHI-3P(5-10)K-HVES-5G series confirms a peak efficiency of up to 98.4%, which is comparable to the European standard of approximately 97.5%. This places the series in the top decile of 5-10 kW hybrid inverters, significantly exceeding typical mid-range models (around 96.5-97%), resulting in a demonstrably higher annual yield under varying solar irradiation conditions.
Two independent MPPT trackers support a total of 4 strings (2 per tracker), allowing for simultaneous operation with strings of different orientations or inclines without performance losses due to mixed characteristics. The MPPT voltage range of 200-850 V enables flexible string configurations with both 60- and 72-cell modules.
The certified Solis list includes over 20 models from BYD (Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM), Pylontech (Force H1/H2), Dyness (PowerRack HV), WECO, and others. The supported DC voltage range of 160-600 V covers typical Li-ion battery configurations with capacities of 10-50 kWh without the need for additional voltage converters.
The built-in AFCI (DC arc detection) and surge protection (SPD) are standard features of the HVES-5G series. In this price range for tier-1 three-phase hybrid systems, this is a valuable addition - while many tier-2 AFCI systems are only available in more expensive versions or as a paid option.
Ginlong/Solis has been featured on BNEF's Tier-1 bankable list since at least 2018, making it easier to secure financing for commercial projects. The series holds CE, VDE-AR-N 4105, G98/G99, and other relevant network certifications, eliminating the need for additional certification adapters in key European markets.
The switching time to EPS mode is less than 40 ms, while Fronius GEN24 Plus and SolarEdge Home Hub claim ≤20 ms. This difference is negligible for typical residential loads (lighting, appliances), but it can cause resetting in more sensitive inverters (NAS servers, medical equipment) that require a UPS with a response time of ≤20 ms.
The maximum charging/discharging current is 25 A. At a battery voltage close to the lower limit of the range (160 V), the effective power drops to approximately 4 kW (160 V × 25 A = 4 kW). This means a 40% reduction in the nominal power during deep discharge in a 10 kW model. Installations with HV batteries operating regularly below ~200 V will experience this limitation.
