Solis, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of solar and energy storage inverters, has achieved a major milestone in the Australian renewables sector. The company has officially received both the Australian Grid Connection Certification and the Switch Matching Certification for its S6-EH3P(12-20)K-H-AU series hybrid inverter. Issued by world-renowned testing and certification organisation TÜV SÜD, these approvals confirm full compliance with Australia’s newest technical standards and open the door to future market growth.
The certification ceremony took place at TÜV SÜD’s Guangzhou office, attended by key representatives from Solis, Certification & Compliance Solutions (CCS), and TÜV SÜD. This achievement reinforces Solis’ commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and future-ready technology for Australian homes and businesses.
Meeting Australia’s new “double threshold” standards
Australia continues to lead the world in rooftop solar adoption, and with battery storage on the rise, regulators are lifting the bar on technical standards. Two major requirements will soon apply to all inverters entering the Australian market:
Grid Connection Certification (AS/NZS 4777.2:2020+A1:2021+A2:2024)
- Effective 23 August 2025
- All inverters listed with the Clean Energy Council must comply with these updated standards to ensure safe and stable integration with the grid.
Switch Matching Certification (AS 60947.3:2023)
- Effective 3 November 2025
- This standard verifies the durability and safety of the built-in DC switch under varying operating conditions, reducing the risk of faults and improving long-term stability.
“Both certifications are critical,” emphasised Billy Qiu, Senior Manager at TÜV SÜD. “Grid connection is the ‘entry ticket,’ and switch matching is the ‘on-the-ground guarantee.’ Products that fail to meet these standards will not be allowed to connect to the Australian grid or qualify for subsidies.”
With both certifications secured ahead of the deadline, Solis not only meets the latest requirements but also demonstrates proactive leadership in compliance, safety, and innovation.
Supporting installers, distributors, and consumers
This double certification offers several advantages to Australian industry stakeholders:
- Installers benefit from lower compliance risk and easier approvals.
- Distributors gain confidence that the product meets future regulations.
- End-users enjoy safer, more reliable systems that qualify for incentives.
- The market sees increased trust and product consistency.
Zheng Xu, Sales Associate Director at Solis, highlighted the company’s long-standing commitment to the region.
“We have been serving the Australian market since 2009, and this year marks our 16th year in the industry. This certification validates our product quality and enables us to respond quickly to the growing needs of our distributors. We will continue to rely on technical partners like TÜV SÜD to enhance our product offerings and provide Australians with faster, more stable, and more cost-effective renewable energy solutions.”
As Australia moves into an era of high solar penetration and expanding battery adoption, the focus on compliance, safety, and performance has never been greater. Solis is positioning itself as a trusted, future-ready supplier that understands the needs of the Australian market.
Strengthening the future of renewable energy in Australia
Beyond regulatory compliance, this milestone reflects a broader commitment to quality and innovation. Solis has tailored its hybrid inverter range to meet the unique demands of Australian conditions, incorporating efficient energy management, backup capability, and compatibility with leading battery solutions.
The certifications also cover both Australia and New Zealand, simplifying distribution and installation across the region. By aligning with national standards, Solis reduces installation risk and enhances long-term system stability, critical factors for residential and commercial customers.
To celebrate the certification, Solis has launched a national promotion for solar installers across Australia. Gift card rewards ranging from $100 to $300 are available based on the battery capacity installed with eligible Solis hybrid systems. The promotion runs until 30 October 2025, giving installers an extra incentive to specify certified, future-proof technology.
This initiative reflects Solis’ support for the installer network and acknowledges the vital role installers play in Australia’s clean energy transition.
