The S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter, launched during the Future Energy Show Philippines, can work as an independent power center to help meet the power demands of a Filipino Household.
To address the problem of unstable power supply causing frequent interruptions
in Filipino households, companies are taking steps to make solar technology
more accessible to middle-income families.
Among the companies leading this initiative is Ginlong (Solis)
Technologies, which recently unveiled its S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter in
the Philippines during the Future Energy Show 2023. The company aims to empower
more Filipino families by providing them with easy access to solar power
technology.
According to Solis After-sales Support Engineer, John Karlo de Guzman,
“Our focus is to help middle-class Filipinos gain access to renewable
energy technology. By introducing the S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter, we are
enabling households to have a reliable and uninterrupted power supply,
ultimately improving their quality of life.”
Solis’ newest technology, with added generator connections and control
functions, works as a fully independent power center to meet the needs of
Filipino residential and C&I markets, where power interruptions occur,
especially during the summer due to high power demand.
“So we know that in the Philippines, there are some power
interruptions lately, especially in summer. So using S6 hybrid on-grid, you
won’t experience power interruption when the distribution utility [can’t]
supply power from the grid,” de Guzman said.
Solis’ newest product, the S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter, is
equipped with enhanced connectivity and control capabilities allowing easy
incorporation with generators thanks to the multiple input methods and
automatic on/off control. Furthermore, it comes with an automatic UPS switch
that allows households and businesses to manage power outages.

The product has Six operating modes; the work mode, where the inverter
is in energy storage mode, and uses the available PV power to support home
loads; the self-use mode stores excess PV power unto the battery; the
feed-in-priority mode which would export the excess PV power after the home
loads are supplied; the off-grid mode where the systems can be used in cases
where power is not connected to the grid; and the back-up mode, which can be
used during the self-use or feed-in-priority mode.
As electricity prices continue to rise, the installation of Solis’ new
product, equipped with a solar PV system, can help generate savings in a
residential home.
“Using the generator and PV itself with the S6 inverter, I think it
can [save] up to 60 to 80% of the monthly consumption or monthly electrical
bill,” de Guzman said.
Furthermore, the S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter can be connected to
smartphones via bluetooth or WiFi, allowing Filipino households to easily
navigate through the product depending on their current needs.
The S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter can also accommodate up to six
connections in parallel, with a maximum total load of 48 kilowatts (kW), with a
10-second 200% surge backup overload capability.
The hybrid inverter is compatible with lead-acid and lithium
batteries, with multiple protection features, allowing the product to be as flexible
as possible.
“This flexibility avoids over-specifying higher capacity inverters, PV
arrays, generators, and batteries than necessarily required, with considerable
CAPEX and OPEX savings over our competition. Users can be confident of a
seamless supply during grid interruptions, even for the most sensitive
electronic equipment,” Solis Country Manager James Frank said.
