The S6Pro 5kW version has passive cooling.
The S6 8kW has active cooling similar to the sunsynk so it has fans too and they will also ramp up with high/continuous loads.
Have not installed one yet so no idea at which levels the fans ramp up or how loud they are.

Hey Guys so its that time of the year again and we have a whole Host of Giveaways lined up some to watch out for would be the New Solis S6 6KW Advanced Hybrid (Beast) we are busy with a long term review in real world conditions with the Solis S6 the Unit we are giving away has already gone through a preliminary review but we may give more of this brand away in the future. 
Magneto has given us some wonderful product to review and give away MAGNETO Lithium-LiFePo4 Rack Mount 48V 5.1 KWh also note the great prices on those units  and a  Magneto Thermo Tank also promise of more nice items to give away in the future. 
Then we Have the Revo Inverter and battery Combo (not listed on our online store yet but soon) there will be some terms and conditions on this giveaway however an exciting product squarely aimed at Sunsynk and Deye.
We are also receiving a very nice Battery from Halo Energy to give away the 113AH HALO Eclipse WM-5 48V 1C however this will only be in about 5 Weeks time but still a very nice compact battery.  
Power2SA is giving us one of their VTC Vxl5100W 5.1kWh LifePo4 battery 51V/100Ah Rack Mount to review and test this is also a very nice rack mount battery with Bluetooth and WIFI features decent cycle count compatibility and scalability and we will give this away to a lucky forum member. 

On the 8K it's 50 amps pass through
on the 6K it's 40 amps

Yes. the Solis Hybrids can.

Hi - thank you indeed for the great review. Forgive me if it is implied, but can the Solis provide PV power (blended with mains and battery)to the non-essentials when grid is on? Like the Sunsynk can....I'd like to be sure I can use as much of the solar capacity as possible and the feature to use excess PV power on non-essentials is a great way to maximize the investment in panels....

I appreciate your comprehensive review. I am awaiting the arrival of my 5kW S6 unit (the 6kW's are out of stock until mid-Aug). A friend visiting from the UK says the majority of his installs are Solis, so it's clearly a decent market player overseas too. (The S6 hasn't properly landed in the UK yet, they're still mostly using the S5).
What won me over were the PV specs as I had already purchased 550W Canadian panels which, at 13.2A, are on or slightly above the Sunsynk's capabilities.
In addition, Solis alleges to have better warranty handling than Sunsynk (which apparently has an 8-week turnaround), whereas Solis SA will swap your unit out.
I wonder whether it's reasonable to wall-mount an Android tablet somewhere to make up for the missing touchscreen... might give that a try (assuming I don't also get locked out of the Bluetooth comms).

Alex - I'm the product manager of Solis Europe and South Africa.  This is one of the best and thorough reviews I have seen in a long time.  Please email me if you have time.  [email protected]
