Solis

Solis, the inverter brand of Ginlong Technologies, has grown from a small Chinese manufacturer to a top-10 global inverter brand. Founded in 2005 in Ningbo, the company focuses exclusively on inverters (unlike multi-product competitors), which has allowed concentrated R&D investment in string inverter technology.

In Australia, Solis inverters are gaining market share in WA through competitive pricing and improving product quality. Their S6 series (5-15kW) covers the residential range with single and three-phase options. The inverters support hybrid operation with battery coupling, making them suitable for Perth homes adding storage.

Solis is a value-oriented option — typically priced 15-30% below Fronius or Enphase — with acceptable performance for budget-conscious installations. The 10-year standard warranty (extendable to 20) and Shenzhen-listed financial backing provide adequate long-term coverage. Australian support is through the Melbourne office and local distribution partners.
