Q1: How many batteries can be connected to a single S6 hybrid inverter?
A1: The inverter has one battery input. However, if the battery manufacturer offers a combiner box
then you can put as many batteries on the inverter as the combiner box supports.
Q2: Can I parallel multiple S6 hybrids together without a Solis Power Hub (MID)?
A2: Yes, so long as your service panels can support the output current. The inverters can be
connected together with RS485 and they will balance the load with each other.
Q3: Is this a high or low voltage hybrid inverter, and what is the battery voltage range?
A3: This is a high voltage hybrid inverter with a battery voltage range of 120-500Vdc
Q4: Does the UL1741 SB certified version of the Solis S6 hybrid inverter support 208Vac grid
connection?
A4: Upon launch in late November 2022, it will not support 208Vac grid connection, only 240Vac.
However, in Q3 2023 the inverter will be updated to support 208Vac grid connection.
Q5: Am I able to do remote settings changes and firmware updates so I do not have to go to
the site?
A5: Yes, so long as the inverter has a Solis data logger installed and is registered on SolisCloud.
The Solis Support team can do remote settings changes and firmware updates.
Q6: What is the Solis Power Hub mentioned in the video and will that launch at the same time
as the new S6 hybrid inverter?
A6: The Solis Power Hub is a microgrid interconnection device (MID) that will be an optional accessory
only required if you are looking to get whole home backup with the S6 inverter. The Power Hub will
have three slots for inverter breakers to be connected in parallel. It will also have a generator
connection and breaker slots for load shedding. An additional video on the Power Hub will be released
in late Q1 2023. That being said, the Power Hub will not launch until early Q3 2023.
Q7: What kind of data logger options will be available with this inverter?
A7: There are three options available: (1) WiFi (2) WiFi & 4G cellular (3) WiFi & LAN
Q8: Will I need to install an external rapid shutdown transmitter or does the inverter come with
an internal transmitter? I heard that the inverter has an option for optimizers and module-level
monitoring. Can you elaborate a bit more on that?
A8: The S6 hybrid will have three options for internal RSD transmitters: (1) Enteligent (2) APS (3) Tigo.
The Enteligent transmitter works with the Enteligent optimizers which also provide module-level
monitoring on SolisCloud. Enteligent optimizers have two-way PLC communication, which allows the
inverter to collect module-level data, which then gets displayed on SolisCloud.
