Solis has listed the S6-GR1P(8-10)K03-NV-ND, a single phase grid-tied inverter, in its product catalogue. The listing describes the unit as having a "New look and easy to operate with Bluetooth App" and a "3 MPPT design, suitable for multi-facing roof"1.
The model sits in the maker's grid-tied PV inverter range, alongside other single phase grid-tied units including the S6-GR1P(0.7-3.6)K-M, the S6-GR1P(2.5-6)K-S and the S6-GR1P(7-8)K02-NV-YD-HC1. The catalogue entry gives no efficiency figure, string current rating, weight, dimensions, warranty term or price for the new model. Those details have not been reported1.
The listing carries no statement on where the model will be sold, when it becomes available, or whether it has been certified for connection in the UK. The catalogue page is hosted on the maker's Malaysian site1. No UK launch date, distributor or installer availability has been reported1.
The three MPPT design is the detail with the clearest practical meaning. A maximum power point tracker adjusts the operating voltage of a connected array to extract the most power available from it. Three trackers allow panels on three differently angled or shaded roof faces to be managed separately rather than averaged together, which is the arrangement the listing points to with the phrase "suitable for multi-facing roof"1. The Bluetooth app operation covers set-up and monitoring from a phone rather than through a separate data logger, though the catalogue does not say which functions the app controls1.

Why it matters for households
A grid-tied inverter converts the direct current from roof panels into alternating current for use in the home, and it must shut down if the grid fails. It has no battery and cannot supply the house during a power cut. Households wanting power during an outage need a hybrid or storage inverter with a battery instead, which is a different product category from this one1.
For a home with panels spread across more than one roof face, the number of trackers affects how much of the array's output is captured at any moment. Three trackers give more scope for that than a single-tracker design, and the listing presents multi-facing roofs as the intended use1. The catalogue does not give a figure for how much additional yield this produces, and no such figure has been reported1.
Because the unit is grid-tied, a household's energy independence under this arrangement still depends on the grid being available. Self-consumption of generated power reduces the amount bought in, but the home remains connected and exposed to grid conditions. The listing makes no claim about backup capability1.
What happens next
No next steps have been reported. The catalogue entry gives no availability date, no UK certification status and no pricing1. Households considering a string inverter of this type, or comparing it with a battery-ready hybrid inverter, will need details that are not yet published. More generally, the solar PV section of this site covers how inverter choice fits into a home system.
