Q What are the latest product offerings that Solis brings to its Indian customers during the REI and what are their key specialties? Idris Khan: Solis has kept the clear focus to do continuous product development and improvement based on market trend and requirements, at REI expo we are displaying our new S6 single phase and S5 in Three phase models, Where it come with great compatibility with High watt peak PV mod- ules like (500watt to 650watt) PV modules. As globally PV module manufacturing are shifting from 185mm wafer size to 210mm wafer. Which industry has seen great advantage to optimize the project LCOE. Solis S6 & S5 model has now ca- pable to handle higher DC current from PV string. And some more other features like DC Arc fault detection, to identify any DC Arc fault which happens during new solar plant in- stallation and commissioning. Below are some of the key fea- tures for better understanding. • Compatible with High watt Peak & bi-facial PV module technologies. • DC Arc fault detection functions • String level monitoring • Type II DC and AC over-voltage protections. • DC reserve polarity protection • DC:AC ratio up to 150% Q As of now, how much capacity Solis has installed in India both on-grid and off-grid? Idris Khan: Since the inception of Solis India back in 2016, Solis have supplied 2GW+ of cumulative inverter capacity including all (Residential + C&I + Utility) project across the country. As the India market from last 1 decade has shown great focus on ON-Grid product, that was the primer focus Solis has supplied for India market. As now policies are being introduced for storage, Hybrid & off-grid project on the same I f things got improved in the raw material supply chain then probably most of the projects that we are on hold in the year 2022, those project will be back on track and we feel Solis would be able to grab a good amount of share based on past supply history, says Idris Khan , Chief Technology Officer, Ginlong Solis Technologies, in an exclusive interaction with Manu Tayal , Associate Editor, Energetica India.
