It combines solar charging (three MPPTs), a 48 V battery inverter\/charger, grid connection, a 200 A passthrough for whole-home backup and a smart port for a generator or AC-coupled solar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolis describes it as able to run on-grid, off-grid or as a microgrid. The battery is a 48 V-class bank (40–60 V), not a high-voltage battery, and backup can cover dedicated loads or the whole home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version has the APsmart (APS) rapid shutdown transmitter built in, identified by the -APST suffix. The transmitter sends a signal along the PV wires to APsmart receivers at the panels, so the array can meet NEC rapid shutdown rules without a separately mounted transmitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarger homes on 120\/240 V split-phase service:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 kW rated output, with backup output at the same rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole-home backup with a 48 V battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 200 A continuous passthrough lets the inverter sit between the utility and the loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenerator backup:\u003c\/strong\u003e The smart port accepts a generator up to 24 kW and 100 A, per Solis's datasheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArrays using APsmart module-level rapid shutdown:\u003c\/strong\u003e The built-in transmitter works with APsmart RSD-S-PLC-A or RSD-D-20 receivers per Solis's June 2026 compatibility sheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
