Description
Solis S6-EH1P16K03-NV-YD-L | Solarator Series 16kW Single-Phase Hybrid Inverter
Uninterrupted power, even in areas with grid instability.
Part of Solis's Solarator Series, the S6-EH1P16K03-NV-YD-L is a single-phase, low-voltage energy storage inverter built to operate seamlessly with a generator — delivering reliable power even where the grid isn't. It supports PV input up to 160% of its rated DC power, switches between on/off-grid in under 10ms, and handles 200% overload for 10 seconds off-grid for stable startup of motors, pumps, and air conditioners.
