Solis is the inverter brand of Ginlong Technologies, a company that says it was established in 2005 in Ningbo, China, and is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It makes solar and energy storage inverters plus accessories such as Wi-Fi data loggers, and the systems are monitored through the SolisCloud platform and app.
A Solis inverter reports to SolisCloud through a data logger, for example the S3-WIFI-ST Wi-Fi stick, which sends data to the cloud for monitoring. Beyond that, the options we found are an API that Solis opens on request for end users, and community integrations that read the inverter locally over RS485 or Modbus TCP.
That suits solar owners who want inverter data and, on hybrid models, battery control inside Home Assistant or Homey, and who are comfortable with a technical setup. It is weaker for voice assistants and Matter, where we found nothing from Solis, and local access depends on the data logger model and firmware.

The monitoring app for Solis plants. It shows real-time plant and equipment status, daily, monthly, yearly and lifetime generation, device fault alerts, and has a dealer or installer account type. Published by Ginlong Technologies Co., Ltd.; the iPhone listing needs iOS 13 or later. The same platform runs in a browser at soliscloud.com. The Android link comes from a third-party app directory that gives the package name com.ginlongsolis, and we could not open the Google Play page itself to confirm it.

The S3-WIFI-ST data logging stick connects to the local Wi-Fi network and sends data to SolisCloud. Solis says one stick supports up to 10 inverters, with alarm notifications by text and email. Community documentation also covers the older S2-WL-ST stick and says some Solis loggers differ in what they allow locally.
Solis's S3-Logger page lists four RS485 ports, up to 60 inverters, and a data connection to a local monitoring system. It does not name Modbus, Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Community projects read inverters over Modbus TCP on port 502 through a Wi-Fi stick, directly over RS485, or through an RS485-to-Ethernet gateway. Some loggers have closed the local TCP port after firmware updates, per the Solis Modbus docs. We did not read Solis's own register documentation.
No built-in Solis integration turned up in our search, and we could not open Home Assistant's integrations page to be sure. Community add-ons install through HACS. Solis Modbus reads inverters locally over Wi-Fi stick or RS485. Solis Sensor reads the SolisCloud API for monitoring. Solis Cloud Control changes inverter settings through the SolisCloud API and lists the S2-WL-ST, S3-WiFi-ST and S5-WiFi-ST loggers as supported. None is maintained by Solis.
The store lists a Solis Cloud Inverter app from Solis Nederland marked Official. It reads data from SolisCloud, needs an API KeyID and KeySecret and a Homey Bridge, and offers power and alarm triggers. The developer's own note says the community encouraged them to build it, so we could not confirm any link to Solis the company. It is not published by Athom. A separate community app, Solis Local Hybrid Inverter by Remco Bosshard, controls hybrid inverters locally through an RS485-to-Ethernet gateway and does not mention a Bridge.
openHAB's Solarman binding talks to Solarman v5 loggers locally and names Solis as a brand that uses them. It lists some Solis inverter types, but the page says only two Deye types were tested, so Solis is untested. Solis does not maintain it.
No dedicated node found. A 2026 blog post shows how to poll a Solis hybrid inverter over local Modbus TCP with node-red-contrib-modbus through an S2-WL-ST logger, polling every 60 seconds.
No Solis integration found. We did not search for this specifically.

SolisCloud API
Official
Solis opens API access on request, then the user activates it under API management in SolisCloud to get a KeyID and KeySecret. Solis's US and Canada guide says the API pulls data from all plants on the account and points to a separate Device Control API document for control. Solis's global Service Centre article says API access is separate from remote control and, when we read it, was not yet available to installers. The US guide covers only US and Canada customers. Rate limits are not stated on either page.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
