The Solis S6 50kW three-phase solar inverter (part number S6-GC3P50K04-NV-ND) is a transformerless string inverter for commercial and industrial PV systems. It combines 50 kW rated AC output, an integrated DC switch, MC4 DC connectors and a sealed IP66 enclosure suited to outdoor installation.
With 4 independent MPPT trackers and 8 string inputs, the inverter gives designers flexible string layouts across multiple roof planes. Each MPPT input handles up to 40 A, and a DC/AC ratio above 150% lets high-power modules be paired without compromise. Yield is protected by 98.6% maximum efficiency, 98.1% European efficiency and over 99.5% MPPT efficiency.
Built-in protection includes Type II DC and AC surge protection, string monitoring, I-V curve scanning and multi-peak scanning, while Bluetooth and app commissioning, SolisCloud monitoring, remote upgrade and RS485 communication cover setup and ongoing monitoring.

DC/AC ratio supported
Grid connection: G99 application required
Rated AC output current is 72.2 A per phase at 400 V, well above the 16 A per phase limit for G98. A G99 application to the Distribution Network Operator is therefore required before connection. Installation must be carried out by a competent electrician in line with BS 7671.
Compatibility and options
A three-phase four-wire (3/N/PE) supply at 230 V / 400 V is required, with the neutral connected. Wi-Fi and GPRS data logging, integrated AFCI 2.0 and PID recovery are listed as optional in the manufacturer datasheet. Please contact us before ordering if your project depends on any of these.

Frequently asked questions
How many strings can the 50kW inverter take?
The inverter has 4 MPPT trackers and 8 string inputs. Each tracker accepts up to 40 A input current and 50 A short-circuit current.
Does the inverter include a DC isolator?
Yes. It has an integrated DC switch, so no separate DC isolator is needed at the inverter.
Do I need a G99 application for this inverter?
Yes. The rated output current of 72.2 A per phase at 400 V exceeds the G98 limit of 16 A per phase, so a G99 application to your DNO is required before connecting.
How much can I oversize the DC array?
The inverter supports a DC/AC ratio above 150%. Array design must stay within the 1100 V maximum input voltage, the 180 to 1000 V MPPT range and the 40 A input current limit per MPPT.
How do I monitor and commission the inverter?
Commissioning is carried out over Bluetooth using the Solis app, and performance is tracked through SolisCloud. RS485 is standard, while Wi-Fi and GPRS data logging are optional.
Is the inverter suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The IP66 enclosure is rated for outdoor use across -25 to +60 °C, and cooling is by intelligent fan with noise at 60 dB(A) or less. The unit weighs 35.8 kg, so plan the mounting accordingly and follow the manufacturer's installation guidance.
