Solis Releases EPDs For Its 6th Gen Commercial Inverter Series

Global solar inverter manufacturer Solis on Wednesday received official Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its sixth-generation commercial inverter series at the SNEC 2025 International Solar & Smart Energy Exhibition in Shanghai, in a move the company said reflects its deepening commitment to sustainability and corporate transparency.

The EPDs, which provide detailed assessments of a product’s environmental impact over its entire life cycle, were handed over by TÜV SÜD, a global certification body. Xu Hailiang, Vice President of TÜV SÜD Smart Energy, presented the certificates to Sandy Woodward, Solis’ General Manager for Europe, during the handover ceremony.

Ethical Sourcing Commitment 

“Sustainability and transparency are at the core of what we do,” Woodward said. “These EPDs are part of our promise to customers to ensure ethical sourcing and responsible manufacturing.”

The declarations, prepared according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards, evaluate the environmental footprint of Solis’ S6-GC(80–125)K inverters from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. They are designed to help customers make informed and sustainable purchasing decisions.

ESG Report 

The announcement follows the recent release of Solis’ 2024 ESG report and recognition by EcoVadis, a global sustainability ratings platform, which awarded the company “Committed” status in November 2024. EcoVadis evaluates firms across environmental practices, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
