5 kW on one phase

7.5 kWPV headroom
97.7%Top efficiency
25 AMax AC current
12 kgOn the wall

This one is for larger single-phase homes, farm buildings and small businesses. A 5 kW rating with up to 7.5 kW of panels across two trackers.

Array planning

The recommended maximum is 7.5 kW of PV, half as much again as the rating. Each tracker takes one string at 14 A (22 A short-circuit) within 90–520 V, and the input may not exceed 600 V. Fifteen 500 W panels split eight and seven between two faces make 7.5 kW.

Supply position

G99: apply first

At 21.7 A rated on 230 V, the S6-GR1P5K is well past the 16 A single-phase G98 point. The DNO must approve it before it goes on the wall. Export caps are handled by the integrated EPM, and the G100 certificate for SOL-5.0-S6-DT-DC is in the Documents tab.

Fitted as standard

  • DC isolator built in
  • Export limitation and DRM functions
  • AFCI for DC arc faults (enabled when commissioned)
  • A CT or the EPM unit, for export limiting
  • A SolisCloud logging stick

Add these

  • Export Power Manager, 1ph

    For supply points beyond 10 m, per the supplier notes. It is for single-phase Solis inverters made after November 2019 and uses a 5 A secondary CT (not included).

  • Solis RF data link

    Its RF kit plugs into the router by cable, so there is no networking to programme. Works with all Solis inverters.

  • S6 5-year warranty extension

    Takes the S6 GR1PK 2.5–6.0 kW range, this 5 kW included, to 10 years.

Common queries

What cable and breaker current should I plan for?

25.0 A maximum output current; rated output is 21.7 A at 230 V.

How much PV can it take in total?

7.5 kW is Solis's recommendation, shared over two independent MPPTs.

What are its dimensions?

310 × 543 × 160 mm and 12 kg, the same case as the 6 kW.

Is a pack of 10 any different?

Only in price per unit. The packs of 5 and 10 and the pallet of 16 are all the S6-GR1P5K. See the table below.
