The Solis S5-EH1P6K-L is a 6kW single-phase hybrid inverter built for residential PV energy storage. It works as a grid-tie inverter for self-consumption and, with a change-over switch fitted, can also supply off-grid loads during a mains failure. This unit has a small cosmetic dent on the front cover, which does not affect performance in any way. The 5-year warranty remains fully applicable.

This listing includes a Wi-Fi stick and an Eastron 100mA energy meter, and the unit has been tested prior to listing. Photographs of the actual inverter are shown above.
