An independent audit by DNV-GL showed a failure rate below 0.2%, and Solis was the first inverter manufacturer to pass the PVEL reliability tests. - **European efficiency: 97.5-98.3%** - Single-phase 5G series models achieve European efficiency levels of 97.5-98.3% (Solis-1P7-8K-5G datasheet, August 2024), placing them alongside GoodWe and SMA in the top tier according to independent reviews (Clean Energy Reviews 2025). In the context of Poland's variable solar irradiance, this value directly translates into annual energy yield. - **Dual MPPT in the standard model** - The 5G series standardly offers two independent MPPT trackers, which allows for connecting modules on different roof sections or with different orientations without affecting each other's performance. Hybrid models feature 3-4 MPPTs, setting them apart from comparably priced inverters that often only offer 1 MPPT in this class. - **#1 global manufacturer of residential inverters, 2024** - Ginlong Solis achieved the top position in the global supply of string inverter components for residential systems in 2024 (according to industry reviews). The scale of production ensures the availability of replacement parts and the stability of the service chain - Solis, as one of the few Chinese manufacturers, has a dedicated Polish service department. - **Monitoring SolisCloud + extended warranty through the app** - The SolisCloud platform (iOS/Android) provides real-time production monitoring. One datalogger can support up to 10 inverters. Importantly for installers, the warranty can be extended directly through the SolisCloud app, which simplifies the management of the device fleet. The standard warranty is 5 years, with the option to extend it for an additional fee. ### Cons - **The communication module is sold separately.** - The WiFi/LAN datalogger (S2-WL-ST or S5-WiFi-ST stick) is not included in the base price of the inverter - it represents an additional cost of around 200-400 PLN. Competitors like Huawei SUN2000 have built-in 4G/WiFi connectivity as standard, which, when comparing the total installation cost, reduces the apparent price advantage of the 5G series. - **The standard warranty is only 5 years.** - The standard warranty is 5 years, while SMA Sunny Boy offers 5+5 years (a total of 10 years in the standard European market), and Fronius GEN24 allows for a free extension to 10 years through registration. Extending the Solis warranty beyond 5 years involves an additional cost, which increases the total cost of ownership for installations with a 20-25 year lifespan. ## About this series The Ginlong Solis Solis 5G series comprises grid-tie and hybrid inverters designed for high operational stability and seamless integration with modern PV systems. Models featuring **dual MPPT** enhance performance when panels are distributed across different roof sections or partially shaded-each tracker independently searches for the optimal operating point. In practice, this translates to more predictable energy production under typical Polish roof conditions. Noteworthy is the **high European efficiency**, which better reflects real-world effectiveness in varying sunlight conditions, thereby influencing annual yields. The 5G series supports **online monitoring**-via Wi-Fi or LAN communication modules and remote access through an app-facilitating diagnostics and operational oversight. Hybrid variants are notable for their **compatibility with energy storage systems**, enabling increased self-consumption and providing backup power for specific circuits. Standard features include outdoor enclosures and the option to extend warranty, making the 5G series an excellent choice for homes and smaller commercial properties. ## Questions ### What is the warranty period for the Solis 5G inverters, and is it possible to extend it? Solis 5G inverters are covered by the standard manufacturer warranty of 10 years. For devices with a power output of up to 20 kW, it is possible to purchase an extended warranty of 15 or even 20 years. Ginlong Solis is a Tier 1 manufacturer, which means financial stability and availability of service throughout the warranty period. It is advisable to discuss the terms of the extended warranty with the distributor when purchasing. ### What are the two MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) functions in the Solis 5G inverter, and when is it important to use them? Two independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) trackers allow you to connect modules from two different roof sections, such as south and east-facing, without compromising the performance of either. Each tracker independently searches for the optimal operating point, so partial shading of one string does not affect the other. In conditions typical for Poland, where pitched roofs are the norm, this feature actually increases annual energy production compared to single-string inverters. ### Does the Solis 5G inverter operate in hybrid mode and support energy storage? The Solis 5G series includes both grid-tie and hybrid versions with an interface for energy storage. Hybrid versions allow for charging batteries from excess PV power, increasing self-consumption, and maintaining power to specific circuits during grid outages. Before purchasing, it is important to verify that the selected model (e.g., S5-EH) is compatible with the specific energy storage system you plan to install. ### How to monitor the performance of a Solis 5G inverter in real-time? The Solis 5G inverter supports either WiFi or LAN communication modules (SolarmanLogger or a dedicated Solis stick), which transmit data to the cloud. Monitoring of production, alerts, and historical data is accessible through the mobile app and web panel. The online monitoring function operates without additional subscription fees and enables remote diagnostics for both the system owner and the service technician. ### What is the European efficiency rating for Solis 5G inverters, and why is it more important than the peak efficiency rating? Solis 5G inverters achieve peak efficiency of approximately 98.8%, while European (EU eta) efficiency typically exceeds 97%. The European value is calculated as a weighted average across different load levels, which better reflects actual performance in Poland, where installations often operate at loads of 20-75% of their rated capacity. This parameter should be the primary factor to consider when selecting an inverter. ### Is the Solis 5G inverter enclosure suitable for outdoor mounting? Yes, the Solis 5G inverters are equipped with a housing designed for outdoor use, providing protection against moisture and dust to IP65 level. Mounting on the exterior wall of a building is a standard solution for this series. However, the inverter should be shielded from direct sunlight, as high ambient temperatures can activate the temperature regulation and reduce the output power. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/inverters/5db90464196c0-212c2816ddbb.pdf) ## Alternatives | Inverter | Rated AC | Euro efficiency | MPPT | Weight | Difference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Huawei SUN2000-100KTL-M2](https://comparepv.com/inverter/huawei-sun2000-100ktl-m2) | 100 kW | 98.6% | 10 | 93.0 kg | +1 MPPT, 11.0 kg heavier | | [Huawei SUN2000-100KTL-M1 (@480 V)](https://comparepv.com/inverter/huawei-sun2000-100ktl-m1-480-v) | 100 kW | 98.6% | 10 | 90.0 kg | +1 MPPT, 8.0 kg heavier | | [Sungrow SG110CX](https://comparepv.com/inverter/sungrow-sg110cx) | 100 kW | 98.5% | 9 | 89.0 kg | 7.0 kg heavier | | [SMA Solar Sunny Highpower PEAK3 SHP 100-21](https://comparepv.com/inverter/sma-solar-sunny-highpower-peak3-shp-100-21) | 100 kW | 98.5% | 1 | 99.0 kg | -8 MPPT, 17.0 kg heavier | | [SMA Solar Sunny Highpower Storage SHPS 100-21](https://comparepv.com/inverter/sma-solar-sunny-highpower-storage-shps-100-21) | 100 kW | 98.5% | | 99.0 kg | 17.0 kg heavier | | [Solis-100K-HV-5G](https://comparepv.com/inverter/ginlong-solis-solis-100k-hv-5g) | 100 kW | 98.5% | 9 | 82.0 kg | Similar on paper | | [Growatt MAX 100KTL3-X LV](https://comparepv.com/inverter/growatt-max-100ktl3-x-lv) | 100 kW | 98.4% | 10 | 84.0 kg | +1 MPPT, 2.0 kg heavier | | [Huawei SUN2000-100KTL-M1 (@380 V)](https://comparepv.com/inverter/huawei-sun2000-100ktl-m1-380-v) | 100 kW | 98.4% | 10 | 90.0 kg | +1 MPPT, 8.0 kg heavier | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/inverter/ginlong-solis-solis-100k-5g
