Hello
Does anyone have any good or bad information on the Canadian Solar 5kw single phase inverters?
Been quoted this on a system (paired with Canadian solar panels) and there is very little information available. Seems to be a new product to an already busy market.
Cheers
Dan
Hi Dan,
I had only every seen the Canadian Solar inverters at the All energy expo. They were not residential inverters though, only a larger commercial inverter.
I didn’t know they were even selling a smaller 5kW solar inverter in Australia (assuming you are in Australia?).
Do you have any spec’s or photos?
I am in WA. The datasheet is dated 2016 so I’m assuming it’s been ongoing development since then. I did find a 2018 v3.0 data sheet in another company website. Not on manufacturer one.
I have seen they do some
Commercial ones. Even then not sure if they get a good review.
I screen shot the data sheet. Hope it attaches ok.
.
Very interesting, I’d like to know more about them. I’m wondering if they are re-branded inverters from another well known manufacturer?
If your confident and trust the solar installer then it might be a good option? I’d be keen to hear how they perform
UPDATE: the Canadian Single phase 5kW solar inverter is a rebranded Growatt inverter. It’s the older model as well which doesn’t have a very good reputation…
The newer Growatt inverters seem to be much better than these older models.
The specs are identical on both inverters. I’d be avoiding this one though.
Very good find. The specs do line up and the design appears identical. I was avoiding growatt in general.
Thanks very much for the great work.
Wow, good find indeed @Svarky, I was very curious about this one.
Seems super strange business decision by Canadian Solar to rebrand an average inverter as theirs 
Looks like they have recently changed from re-branding Growatt to re-branding Solis.
Look similar?
