Combining regional expansion, technological innovation, and market intelligence, Solis strengthens its position as a strategic player in the European solar sector. The company relies on flexible structures and close ties with local installers and distributors to respond to the specific regulatory, technical, and commercial characteristics of each country.
At Intersolar Europe 2025, Solis will showcase new developments tailored to the demanding European market, including the world’s largest wall-mounted hybrid inverter and an AI-powered energy management platform. These innovations will be presented from May 7–9 in Munich, as part of a comprehensive portfolio that spans from residential systems to large-scale industrial projects.
The company’s technology portfolio will be led by its 125 kW three-phase hybrid inverter, scalable up to 600 kW, along with Solis AI, an intelligent cloud-based system that automates energy use and enhances self-consumption.
With more than 100 GW of inverters shipped across over 100 countries, Solis marks its 20th anniversary by reaffirming its commitment to reliable, market-tailored solutions. This approach has supported sustained growth, emphasizing flexibility, performance, and strong local partnerships.
In an interview with Strategic Energy Europe, Solis Europe executives discuss the company’s positioning across the continent, key products, the rise of battery storage, and how they plan to stay ahead in a fast-evolving market:
What is the strategy that Solis follows to position itself on the continent, and how does it adapt to the particularities of each market?
Our approach is simple: we listen. Europe isn’t one market, it’s many, each with its own regulations, customer expectations, and challenges. What works in the UK doesn’t necessarily work in Italy or Germany. So rather than pushing the same strategy everywhere, we focus on being present and adaptable. We’ve built up strong local teams who speak the language, and who help us stay close to the ground.
We’re big believers in working with local installers and distributors, not just as sales channels but as partners. We ask for feedback, we run training sessions, we learn from them. That local insight feeds directly into how we position our products, what features we prioritise, and even how we communicate.
What current products (solar inverters and integrated battery storage solutions) do you offer, and what are their main technical and competitive differentiators?
Our European portfolio includes a full range of string inverters for residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects, as well as hybrid inverters and energy storage systems.
Key products include:
- Three-phase low-voltage hybrid inverters (e.g. S6-EH3P15K-L) — Ideal for residential and small C&I projects, with smart load control, seamless UPS switching, and optimised efficiency for low-voltage battery systems.
- S6-EH3P(75–125)K10-NV-YD-H — The world’s largest wall-mounted hybrid inverter, designed for commercial storage projects. It offers 125kW capacity, dual 100A battery ports, 10 MPPTs, and parallel scalability up to 600kW.
- Solis AI — Our new built-in smart assistant within SolisCloud, delivering predictive energy management, tariff optimisation, and adaptive load control for maximum self-consumption and cost savings.
Across all our products, we prioritise reliability, user-friendly design, high MPPT counts for flexible PV configurations, and compatibility with a wide range of battery brands. Many of our models also support advanced features like Time-of-Use scheduling and generator support, helping users tailor their systems to specific energy goals.
How do you monitor and analyze the trends in the energy market, and what methodologies do you use to evaluate opportunities and risks?
It’s a mix of local knowledge and hard data. We’re constantly talking to our partners — distributors, installers, customers — and those conversations tell us a lot. But we also look at data from across the industry, whether that’s market reports, pricing trends, or government policy updates.
We try to spot patterns early. A good example of this is that we recently noticed the growing adoptions of low voltage batteries in Europe, particularly in areas with unreliable grids or high energy prices. It’s something we’ve leaned into and are putting a lot of R&D into low voltage inverters that meet that need. It’s about keeping ear to the ground and being reactive the needs of our customers.
What role do you consider battery storage solutions will play in the evolution of the solar sector, and how are they integrated into your product offering?
Battery storage is no longer a ‘nice-to’ have’ it’s a growing into a pillar of solar’s next phase. From residential to large-scale grid support, battery adoption is here to stay.
We’ve embraced this shift by developing storage-ready solutions into our core product range. Our latest offerings, all designed to integrate seamlessly with a range of leading batteries to maximise return on investment and enable intelligent energy usage. For a long time now we’ve been focused on making battery integration more flexible, with broad compatibility and simplified installation processes that empower installers and end users alike.
Which geographic markets or segments do you identify as the most attractive in terms of growth and stability, and what factors influence this selection?
In Europe, we see strong and sustained growth in countries like Germany, the UK, and Italy, Spain, Poland where supportive policy frameworks, high electricity prices, and grid modernisation are driving solar and storage adoption.
Segment-wise, we’re seeing particular momentum in:
- Residential and small commercial hybrid systems — driven by energy price volatility and demand for self-sufficiency.
- C&I storage projects — where businesses are looking to reduce peak demand charges and ensure resilience.
- Utility-scale PV — especially in Spain and Eastern Europe, where land and solar irradiance align with ambitious national targets.
Our focus is on long-term stability and market maturity — we prioritise regions where we can build deep local partnerships and where the regulatory environment encourages sustainable deployment.
What challenges and opportunities does Solis face compared to regional and international competition, and how do you plan to innovate to maintain your competitive advantage?
The European market is dynamic. Things change fast, whether it’s regulations, technology, or customer expectations. It’s all part of what makes it such an exciting space to be in. At Solis, we see this pace as a chance to stay ahead by staying agile.
One of our strengths is how quickly we can adapt. We’re not just shipping products. We’re designing them to fit the real needs of the market. We invest heavily in local support teams, so if someone has a question or challenge, they’re talking to someone who understands their language and their market.
Innovation for us isn’t just about hardware. We obviously put a lot of focus on performance and reliability, but we also invest in software to help users get more from their systems. These platforms simplify energy management, automate smart charging, and make clean energy easier to use every day. We’re not trying to follow what others are doing, we’re working to help shape the next phase of solar, where smarter, more flexible solutions are the norm.
