All of this on an all new interface that is both user friendly and easy to understand. Following the SolisCloud launch, the Solis team introduced the Solis Off Grid Hybrid Inverter, a solution for the new trend of storage backed off grid solar PV. The inverter fills a key gap for custom - ers who seek the reliability of brand solis for their off grid solar requirements, with an inverter that delivers. The inverters come in four versions of 4-5kW, with 48V battery in the standard version. With an ability to be completely off grid as well as ongrid while using grid power only as backup, the hybrid inverters will fill a key market need for a quality product in the emerging segment. Compatible with both lead acid and lithi- um batteries, these inverters can handle surge current between 60A to 80A de - pending on the model, and surge ca- pacity between 8kVA and 10kVA. Weigh - ing in at a compact 13.8 Kg with an LCD monitor, built in MPPT solar charge controller and capable of handling PV input voltage upto 500VDC, these invert - ers will surely be seen in many places soon!
