The Ginlong Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO series are single-phase hybrid inverters, designed for PV systems with energy storage - both in homes and small commercial buildings. In practice, this means seamless operation in grid-connected mode with the ability to charge batteries and power loads using stored energy when grid electricity is expensive or during outages.

These units feature two independent MPPTs, simplifying PV system design on roofs with varied orientations and slopes, while minimizing losses during partial shading. Their high European efficiency translates to better energy yield in typical Polish operating conditions - not just under ideal sunlight, but also with variable weather.

For daily operation, reliable monitoring in SolisCloud and convenient communication (including via Wi-Fi and RS485) enable remote monitoring of energy production, consumption, and battery status. The series is compatible with batteries through popular interfaces (e.g., CAN/RS485) and meets required connection and safety standards, with warranty terms dependent on distribution and market.

Pros and cons

5 positive · 2 caution
What owners get
BNEF Tier 1 - Confirmed bankability

Ginlong Solis has been listed on BloombergNEF's Tier 1 PV Inverter Manufacturers list for several years, with the most recent confirmation in Q1 2025. This provides installers and financiers with the assurance of long-term service and parts availability.

2 independent MPPT controllers (90-520 V, 16 A)

A wide range of MPPT voltage (90-520 V) and a maximum input current of 16 A per tracker enable operation with modern 182/210 mm format modules. Two independent MPPTs allow for the use of two panels with different azimuths or tilt angles without disproportionate losses due to partial shading.

EU efficiency >96.2% and peak efficiency >97.5%

European efficiency exceeding 96.2% translates into higher energy yield in the variable solar irradiation typical of Poland (especially outside the summer season). Peak efficiency of over 97.5% is comparable to leading hybrid solutions in the LV segment.

IP66 rating and operating temperature range: -40°C to +60°C

The IP66 protection class and the operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C allow for the installation of the inverter outdoors without an additional enclosure, which is important in the Polish climate (cold winters and high summer temperatures on southern walls).

Built-in AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) and UPS switching with a response time of less than 10 ms

Integrated arc fault detection (AFCI, compliant with IEC 62109 safety requirements) and a switch-over time to battery power of less than 10 ms enable continuous power supply to sensitive devices (e.g., NAS, routers, heat pumps with a control module) during power outages.

Trade-offs
Only LV batteries (40-60 V)

The series is designed to work exclusively with low-voltage batteries (LV, 40-60 V DC), which means it is not compatible with popular high-voltage (HV) systems (e.g., BYD HVS 5-10 kWh, Pylontech Force H2). When dealing with large storage capacities (>10 kWh), the higher current in the low-voltage DC circuit generates increased cable losses compared to HV solutions.

Maximum DC voltage: 600 V

The input voltage limit of 600 V DC (maximum 520 V under MPPT) is lower than that of competitors offering 1000 V (e.g., Fronius GEN24 Plus, Huawei SUN2000-L1). In practice, this limits the maximum number of modules in a string and may require additional cabling for larger installations (>8 kWp).

About the S6-EH1P-L-PRO series

6 answered

These answers cover the whole series. Where a figure differs, the specification above is this model's own.

What batteries are compatible with the Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO inverter?
The S6-EH1P-L-PRO series supports both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries with voltages ranging from 40-60 V. Communication with the battery is achieved through either CAN or RS485 interfaces, ensuring compatibility with many popular energy storage system brands available on the Polish market. It is advisable to confirm compatibility with a specific battery model with the distributor before making a purchase.
What is the warranty on the Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO inverter?
The standard manufacturer's warranty for the S6-EH1P-L-PRO series is 10 years. This is one of the longer standard warranty periods in this category of hybrid inverters. Warranty terms may vary slightly depending on the distributor and market, so it is advisable to check the exact details in the purchase documentation.
Will the Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO function during a network outage and provide power to the home from the battery?
Yes, the S6-EH1P-L-PRO series includes a backup function (EPS) that automatically switches selected circuits to battery power in the event of a power outage in the network. The switching is fast, although it is not a true UPS-style uninterruptible power supply. The range of circuits that can be powered by the backup system depends on the battery capacity and the current power consumption in the home.
What is the maximum efficiency of the Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO inverter, and is this a significant parameter?
The maximum efficiency of the S6-EH1P-L-PRO series reaches 96.2%, and the high European efficiency indicates good energy yield under variable solar conditions typical for Poland. In practice, even a few percentage points of efficiency difference between models from different manufacturers translate into dozens of kilowatt-hours per year, making this parameter economically significant.
Do two independent MPPTs in the Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO system help when the panels are on different roof sections?
Yes, this is one of the main advantages of this series. Two independent MPPT inputs allow you to connect separate strings of panels, for example, one facing south and another facing west. Each string operates independently, with its own maximum power point, so shading or different levels of sunlight on one section does not reduce the output of the other. The 8 kW model also has a third MPPT input.
Which model from the Solis S6-EH1P-L-PRO series should I choose for a typical single-family home?
The series includes models ranging from 3 to 8 kW (3, 3.6, 5, 6, and 8 kW). For a typical single-family home with a 5-8 kWp PV system, the 5 or 6 kW variant is most commonly chosen, as it covers most of the daily energy needs while also effectively charging the battery. It is advisable to consult with an installer regarding the optimal inverter size, taking into account the power of the PV system and the planned battery capacity.
