Ginlong Solis (40-60)kW / (50-70)kW-HV inverters are designed for three-phase installations, where stable operation, easy service, and flexible string design are key. The (40-60)kW variant is a grid-tie inverter for commercial and industrial projects, while the (50- 70)kW-HV is a high-voltage hybrid inverter that can work with energy storage and provide backup power and peak shaving strategies. A key advantage is the multiple MPPT channels - they allow dividing the PV generator into various rooftop sections, orientations, and partially shaded zones, improving yields without string reconfiguration. In practice, this is also helped by the high European efficiency - it means fewer losses under typical operating conditions in Poland, resulting in more energy fed to the grid or used on-site. Monitoring is based on SolisCloud and standard communication interfaces, including WiFi and Ethernet, facilitating remote diagnostics. The series offers comprehensive safety features, grid compliance, and a warranty dependent on version and market. This solution is ideal for companies, rooftop farms, and larger installations, especially those planning energy storage integration.

Pros and cons

5 positive · 2 caution
What owners get
4-5 independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) channels

The S6-GC3P(40-60)K-ND model offers 4-5 independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) channels, which allows each part of the roof or shaded area to be assigned to a separate channel without any cross-channel losses. For buildings with irregular roof geometries, this translates to a significantly higher annual energy yield compared to inverters with 2-3 MPPT channels in this power class.

Efficiency of 98.7% - above the median for the class

The declared maximum efficiency of S6 is 98.7%, which places the series above the typical median for the 40-60 kW segment (approximately 98.0-98.4% for comparable Huawei, Delta, and Growatt models). In Polish climatic conditions (many days with dispersed solar radiation), the high European efficiency directly translates to the energy balance of the installation.

BNEF Tier 1 - bankable, 3rd largest producer globally

Ginlong Solis is listed on the BNEF Tier 1 PV Inverter Manufacturers list (Q4 2023 and subsequent editions) and is the 3rd largest inverter manufacturer globally. For C&I projects financed with credit or leasing, this means easier acceptance by financial institutions without the need for additional technical due diligence.

HV hybrid variant with peak shaving and reserve

The S6-EH3P series (equivalent to 50-70V K-HV) supports high-voltage batteries in the range of 150-800 V, implements peak shaving in both self-use and generator modes, and the backup port can withstand a 1.6x overload for a short period. Two independent battery ports (with a 70 A charging/discharging capacity) allow for the connection of two separate battery banks.

Ability to work with up to 6 units simultaneously.

The S6-EH3P architecture allows for the parallel connection of up to 6 inverters, providing scalable capacity of approximately 300 kW AC with a unified control and monitoring platform in SolisCloud (WiFi, Ethernet, optionally 4G). This simplifies the expansion of the system in stages without the need to replace equipment.

Trade-offs
Non-standard market warranty

The warranty period for commercial versions varies depending on the market and the specific product (there is no single, global policy). For comparison, SMA offers a standard 5-year warranty in Poland, with the option to extend it to 20 years within a clear service package. This makes it easier for banks and leasing companies to finance projects, as it requires warranty documentation for the entire loan period.

Grid-tied (40-60kW) inverter with a path to hybrid systems

The S6-GC3P(40-60)K-ND network variant does not allow for later expansion with energy storage - it is necessary to replace the inverter with a hybrid model or install a separate AC-coupled storage system. For facilities planning to add batteries within a 3-5 year timeframe, this could generate additional costs for replacing the equipment.

About the Solis (40-60)K / (50-70)K-HV series

6 answered

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

What are the key differences between the (40-60)K and (50-70)K-HV variants in the Solis series?
Variant (40-60)K is a standard grid-tie inverter designed exclusively for feeding energy into the grid or for direct on-site consumption. Variant (50-70)K-HV is a high-voltage hybrid inverter that also works with a battery energy storage system (high-voltage batteries up to approximately 600 V), enabling backup power for the building and implementing peak shaving strategies, which involve reducing peak power consumption from the grid.
How many MPPT strings does the Solis inverter (40-60) have, and what does this mean in practice?
Inverters from this series feature a typical 4 independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) channels. This means that you can connect panels from different sections of the roof, with different orientations, or partially shaded areas, to separate inputs. Each tracker operates independently, so losses in one string do not reduce the output of the others. This is particularly important in large industrial and commercial installations, where it is rare for all panels to have identical operating conditions.
What is the warranty on Solis inverters from the (40-60)K and (50-70)K-HV series?
The standard manufacturer's warranty for Solis inverters in this power class is 10 years. The exact scope and duration depend on the target market and can be extended through additional service packages. Ginlong Solis is a Tier 1 manufacturer, which means financial stability and real availability of after-sales support throughout the warranty period.
Does the Solis (50-70)K-HV system support peak shaving functionality, and how does it work?
Yes, the hybrid (50-70)K-HV variant supports peak shaving. The inverter monitors the current power draw from the grid and automatically compensates for any shortfall by drawing power from the connected energy storage system when the pre-set power limit is exceeded. This can directly translate into lower electricity bills for companies with power-based tariffs or contracts with power consumption limits.
How does the Solis inverter monitoring system (40-60)K function, and can it be controlled remotely?
These inverters utilize the SolisCloud platform and support communication via WiFi and Ethernet. After configuration, the installer or building owner can remotely monitor current production, generation history, alarms, and operating parameters. SolisCloud also enables remote software updates, simplifying maintenance without the need for a technician to be on-site.
Is the Solis (50-70)K-HV inverter compatible with any energy storage battery?
Not all are compatible. Solis publishes an official list of compatible energy storage systems (Compatible Battery List), which includes high-voltage batteries from reputable manufacturers, including BYD, and other LiFePO4 systems with voltages in the range of approximately 120-600 V DC. Before purchasing a system, it is important to check the current list on the manufacturer's website or from an authorized distributor to ensure proper compatibility and to maintain warranty conditions.
