Solis 5kW Hybrid Inverter

The Solis Energy Storage 5kW Hybrid 5G Inverter with DC Switch is a versatile and efficient hybrid solar inverter designed to meet the needs of modern residential and small commercial solar-plus-storage systems. Combining advanced power conversion, intelligent energy management, and robust safety features, this inverter is built to optimise how you generate, store, and use solar energy — all while ensuring seamless operation during grid outages or load-shedding events.

At its core, the Solis 5kW Hybrid 5G Inverter supports both solar PV generation and battery storage within one compact unit. Its “hybrid” designation means it can charge and discharge batteries based on system conditions and user priorities — such as maximising self-consumption, storing excess solar for evening use, or maintaining backup power readiness. This flexibility allows homeowners to reduce dependence on the grid, lower electricity costs, and improve overall energy independence.

One of the key features that sets this model apart is the integrated DC switch. The DC switch provides a clear, safe way to disconnect the solar array from the inverter for maintenance, installation, or emergency shutdowns, enhancing overall system safety and compliance with electrical standards. This is especially important in residential environments where safety and simplicity are priorities.

The Solis Hybrid 5G platform brings improvements in communication and control over earlier models. With built-in connectivity options like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (depending on configuration), users can monitor real-time performance data from a smartphone app or web portal. This visibility into solar generation, battery state-of-charge, grid interaction, and load usage helps inform smarter energy decisions and makes system troubleshooting easier.

Performance-wise, the 5kW output rating makes this inverter suitable for most medium-sized homes. It typically supports a broad DC input range and dual Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) channels, allowing two separate solar string inputs to be optimised independently. This boosts energy harvest when panel orientations differ or partial shading occurs — such as morning vs afternoon sun conditions.

Battery compatibility is another strong point. The Solis 5kW Hybrid Inverter can work with a variety of low-voltage battery types, including lithium-ion banks commonly used in residential storage systems today. Whether configured for time-of-use optimisation, load-shifting, or backup support, the inverter intelligently manages charge/discharge cycles to prolong battery life and maximise performance.

Safety and reliability are reinforced through features like over-temperature protection, anti-islanding, and surge protection. Combined with sturdy build quality and a user-friendly installation process, the Solis Energy Storage 5kW Hybrid 5G Inverter with DC Switch represents a compelling choice for homeowners seeking a flexible, efficient, and future-ready solar energy solution.
