Ginlong Solis Demonstrates Financial Resilience Amid Solar Supply Chain Volatility
As global photovoltaic (PV) equipment manufacturers disclose quarterly earnings under intense supply chain adjustments, even established industry giants face severe losses. However, Ginlong Technologies (Solis Inverter) stood out by announcing strong Q2 profitability.
Driven by strong export demand and optimized inventory management, Solis projected a Q2 net profit increase of over 1,400% quarter-over-quarter (reaching 305 to 380 million RMB), maintaining strong positive net earnings for the first half of the year.
Executive Leadership & Strategic Focus
Founded in 2005 by Yiming Wang, Ginlong (Solis) entered the string inverter market earlier than major competitors such as Huawei (2010 entry) and Sungrow (2007).

Key Corporate Pillars:
- Dedicated Inverter Focus: Unlike diversified conglomerates, Solis maintains a strict focus on grid-tied and hybrid energy storage string inverters.
- Young & Diverse Management: Solis features one of the youngest executive teams in the clean energy sector, with senior leadership almost entirely composed of executives born in the 1980s and strong executive gender diversity.
- Component Quality Architecture: To navigate foreign component dependencies (such as IGBT power modules and IC controller chips), Solis partners directly with Tier-1 global semiconductor suppliers to ensure high equipment reliability.
Product Iteration & Market Positioning
At recent global SNEC and Intersolar exhibitions, Solis unveiled its 6th Generation (S6) Technology Platform. The new architecture features max conversion efficiencies of up to 98.8%, enhanced multi-MPPT tracking, and improved thermal management across its commercial and industrial (C&I) product lines.

Overcoming Product Homogenization:
- Algorithmic Efficiency Gains: Through proprietary software logic and refined PCB topology, Solis achieved a 0.1% efficiency improvement between its 5th and 6th generation platforms.
- Gross Margin Protection: While industry-wide price wars compressed manufacturer margins, Solis maintained gross margins above 32% through disciplined inventory reduction and global sales expansion.
- Global Market Presence: Ranked 3rd globally in string inverter shipments by Wood Mackenzie and IHS Markit, Solis continues to capture market share outside the consolidated footprint of Huawei and Sungrow.
Expanding C&I Energy Storage Capacity
Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage represents the primary growth vector for Solis moving forward. The company is actively building out dedicated manufacturing lines targeting 1.35 million annual units across grid-tied and energy storage string inverters.
For commercial enterprises, pairing high-efficiency string inverters with certified battery hardware optimizes self-consumption and peak shaving:
- High-Efficiency Hybrid Inverters: Integrating multi-MPPT hybrid units (such as Solis or Deye hybrid inverters) enables seamless grid-tied and off-grid power switching.
- Modular Storage Solutions: Combining string hybrid inverters with commercial-grade lithium storage batteries provides scalable demand-charge management.
- Turnkey Equipment: Pairing high-yield solar panel arrays with certified energy storage ensures long-term system ROI.
