July 27, 20214 yr Is there any feedback on this inverter, eg. performance versus the Sunsynk 5KW inverter. What is support like and what are the quirks
July 27, 20214 yr Author I am particularly after it being fanless since the inverter will be inside, but are there any users out there that have had any major issues with the Solis.

The sunsynk 5kw is also fanless and completely silent and whilst generating 4.5kw from solar the heat sinks are very slightly warm.

They have made changes to the newer units, being fanless, the ct coil connection board is different, the mppt now handles 13A instead of the 11A of the older type. I think its safe to assume the noise issue is fixed. Mine certainly has no noise.
August 2, 20214 yr I am also looking at a Solis Energy Storage 6kW Hybrid 5G Inverter and found the best price on a unit like this at ITnerfricaShop.co.za . This is an online only store in Pretoria. I only found 1 recommendation on them on this platform. I just need more referral for them because I don't even find them on hello peter for one dissatisfy shopper. Worried to lose money dealing with a company I can't find any info on. I'm in PE.
August 2, 20214 yr @Gerhard Gerber we all so used to going directly to the forums that we forget that the powerforumstore is on the front page and they have it for the same price as the sunsynk just to make deciding more fun.
August 3, 20214 yr @Buyeye, OK I see Powerforumstore list the Solis 6kW Hybrid Inverter. I have requested a quote now from them. Thanks..

I have an 8kW unit with a March 2021 manufacture date that has that noise. Local supplier didn't want to swop it out, so I spent R11k to have my installation moved from inside my scullery to outdoors.
August 5, 20214 yr Author I just made the final decision to go with the Solis 6kw inverter with 10x535W panels and 2xhubble 5.5kw batteries. Will update on performance once installed

July 11, 20223 yr I had the Solis 4G gridtie inverter and loved it so much, now replaced with the Hybrid 6K version. It was plug and play because both have similar panel configurations. I have 3300w on one string and 1240w on the other. Works like a charm, no issues and feels durable. Personally, there is no reason for me to buy another brand. Solis makes quality products, easy to install, good looking, and at a lower price. The major difference is that I cannot combine with wind power; I think SunSynk can.
