Clipsal Solis turns electrical accessories from purely functional fittings into visible interior design elements. The range comes from Clipsal, a Schneider Electric brand specified by Australian electricians for residential and commercial work. Solis is positioned for design-led projects: luxury new builds, premium renovations, display homes, master suites, and boutique commercial fit-outs.
The collection covers two complementary ranges: Solis and Solis T. Across both ranges, buyers can specify switches, power points, dimmers, smart connected products, USB-C charging outlets, and matching Clipsal Solis accessories. The Solis Series uses a flush, low-profile matte design. The Solis T-Series uses a tactile toggle mechanism with premium material finishes.
Solis suits architects, interior designers, builders, electricians, and homeowners selecting premium fittings. Typical projects include luxury new builds, kitchens, master suites, primary living areas, executive offices, hotel rooms, and showrooms. The trade framing is strong: electricians specifying Solis can offer a coordinated finish schedule across Clipsal Solis light switches and Clipsal Solis power points for a client.
Compared with standard white plastic switches, Solis uses slim cover profiles, premium materials, and minimalist forms. Where a standard switch is purely functional, Solis is selected because the switch or power point is part of the visual finish. The Solis range received a 2024 Good Design Award, signalling design-quality recognition that supports premium project specification.
The Solis collection splits into two ranges with different design intent. Solis uses a matte finish and flush profile. Solis T uses a toggle mechanism and authentic material finishes. The right choice depends on the design brief, project visibility, and price tier.
The core Solis range covers Matte White and Matte Black finishes. The cover plate sits flush against the wall, with a low-profile design suited to contemporary, Scandinavian, and minimalist interiors. The matte surface reduces glare and helps fittings sit quietly on the wall, which suits homes where switches and power points should blend into the finish rather than stand out.
The Solis T-Series steps up to Platinum Aluminium, Ebony Aluminium, Living Brass or Brushed Brass, and White Ceramic finishes. Operation is by a tactile toggle, and the cover profile is ultra-slim. Solis T suits luxury homes, feature areas, and projects matching tapware, door handles, and architectural hardware. Specify Clipsal Solis T-Series Power Points where the outlet itself is part of the visual statement.
Use this short decision framework when specifying.
Mixing both ranges only works where the brief supports clear room-by-room finish zoning. Builders and electricians should confirm client expectations on consistency before ordering, since a mixed schedule changes both procurement and final visual outcome.
Finish selection is the most consequential decision in a Solis specification. The right finish coordinates with walls, cabinetry, tapware, door hardware, stone, timber, and joinery. The wrong finish ages a room faster than any other electrical choice.
Matte White suits Scandinavian, coastal, and minimalist interiors with light cabinetry and pale stone. Matte Black suits contemporary and industrial schemes with dark joinery, black tapware, and concrete or charcoal finishes. Both matte surfaces reduce reflected light, which helps the fitting recede visually in rooms where the design intent is calm and uncluttered.
The Solis T premium finishes each have a distinct design role:
The biggest visual gain from Solis comes from using one coordinated range across the visible rooms of a project. Specifiers should confirm finish availability across switches, GPOs, dimmers, USB outlets, and the Clipsal Solis switch grid and plate before finalising the schedule. Utility spaces such as garages and laundries can often use a more cost-effective range without compromising the design intent of principal rooms.
Once the range and finish are chosen, the next decision is product type. Solis covers the core electrical accessory categories with options suited to premium residential and light commercial work.
The Solis range covers standard rocker switches, multi-gang configurations, and toggle versions on the T-Series. Slimline, contemporary wall switches in 1-gang to 4-gang formats suit most rooms and lighting layouts. The Solis Series carries the matte rocker styling, while the T-Series carries the toggle styling for projects that need a more tactile switch action.
Solis power points are available in 10A general-purpose outlet (GPO) configurations, in single and double formats. They suit premium residential rooms where the outlet itself is visible: kitchen benches, master bedroom bedsides, lounge feature walls, and study desks. All fixed power points must comply with AS/NZS 3112 for Australian plug and socket compatibility, and installation must be completed by a licensed electrician.
Specify Clipsal dimmers from the Solis range for living areas, bedrooms, media rooms, dining spaces, and feature lighting zones. Selection depends on load type, LED driver compatibility, and the mechanism platform behind the cover plate. Confirm dimmer compatibility with the specified light fittings before ordering, especially for large LED downlight runs where flicker or drop-out can occur with the wrong mechanism.
USB-C integrated outlets reduce adaptor clutter at bedside tables, kitchen benches, study desks, and home office work surfaces. They suit hotel rooms, serviced apartments, and charging benches in family homes. Confirm charging specification, port count, and product compatibility against the devices the client expects to charge before ordering, since wattage and port type vary across the range.
Wiser is Schneider Electric's smart home platform. Solis works with Wiser through compatible mechanisms, allowing scheduling, remote control, automation, and energy monitoring in premium residential projects.
The Wiser platform uses Zigbee connectivity, with a Wiser Hub as the bridge between Zigbee-enabled mechanisms and the homeowner's app. Smart features depend on selecting compatible connected mechanisms behind the Solis cover plate. Standard Solis switches operate as conventional switches without the hub; only the connected mechanisms enable app control, scheduling, and automation.
Practical use cases for connected Solis power points include appliance scheduling, remote on and off control, energy visibility on selected circuits, and convenience features in premium homes. Common locations are living areas, kitchens, home offices, media rooms, and holiday homes where remote checks are useful. Browse smart power points and smart light switches for compatible options.
Electricians can stage smart upgrades over time by specifying compatible Solis mechanisms early. Planning wall box locations, switch positions, and device compatibility during the rough-in phase helps avoid rework later. All smart electrical accessory installation must be completed by a licensed electrician working to AS/NZS 3000.
Electricians and specifiers need clarity on standards, ratings, compatibility, and installation constraints before placing orders for premium fittings. This section covers the compliance framework without providing step-by-step wiring instructions.
Fixed electrical installation work in Australia must follow AS/NZS 3000 for general wiring rules, and AS/NZS 3112 applies to socket outlet configurations. Clipsal Solis products are supplied with RCM certification where applicable. Compliant product sourcing through authorised Australian channels helps avoid inspection, warranty, and insurance issues at handover.
Solis cover plates suit standard Australian wall boxes with conventional mounting centres. Ultra-slim designs are less tolerant of uneven wall surfaces, so the rough-in and plasterwork need to be flush for the cover to sit correctly. Builders and electricians should confirm bracket type and finish levels before the fit-off date to avoid rework on visible rooms.
Solis products use compatible Clipsal mechanism platforms, but not every Clipsal mechanism suits every Solis plate. Check the manufacturer's compatibility chart before ordering, especially when mixing dimmer, smart, or specialist mechanisms with Solis cover plates. Higher-load applications may need contactors or dedicated rated switches selected by a licensed electrician.
Licensed Installation Required: All fixed wiring, switches, power points, dimmers, and smart electrical accessories must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 and state or territory electrical safety requirements. This page covers product selection and specification only.
Buyers comparing Solis with other ranges usually weigh finish quality, design intent, mechanism availability, and price tier. The right range depends on the project brief rather than a single universal best.
The Clipsal Iconic range is broader, modular, and more cost-effective. It suits general residential projects and rental properties. Solis is more premium, design-led, and finish-focused, with the cover plate treated as a visible interior element rather than a functional fitting. A practical trade approach is to use Iconic in utility areas and Solis in visible rooms within the same project, which controls cost while protecting the design intent of principal spaces.
The Clipsal Saturn Zen range was the earlier premium slim option in the Clipsal portfolio, with capacitive touch switching on selected models. Solis takes a different approach: tactile toggles on the T-Series and conventional switching on the matte Series, with finishes pitched at architectural specification. For modern slimline switch options across premium ranges, the choice between Solis and Saturn Zen depends on whether tactile or capacitive operation suits the client.
Standard switches are cost-effective, familiar to electricians, and suit general residential applications. Slim profile switches like Solis provide a cleaner, more architectural finish with less visual interruption on the wall. The trade-off is that slim profiles need more precise wall preparation and fit-off. Electricians should confirm product depth, wall box suitability, and mechanism compatibility before quoting a premium switch package.

Premium electrical accessories are sensitive to supply quality. Genuine Australian-compliant Solis products, accurate stock visibility, and proper warranty support all matter when specifying for a paying client.
Solis is available through authorised Australian electrical wholesalers and online electrical suppliers such as Sparky Direct. Choose suppliers that hold genuine Australian-compliant stock, publish transparent pricing, provide product datasheets, and back the standard manufacturer warranty. Avoid parallel-imported or grey-market product, since warranty support and compliance can be unclear.
Solis pricing is driven by several factors:
When comparing prices for 2026, check that the supplier lists the same product code (Clipsal SKU), the same finish, and the same gang count. Affordable contemporary switches in Australia at this tier are best benchmarked against equivalent design-led ranges, not against standard white plastic switches.
Use this pre-purchase checklist before placing a Solis order.
Solis adds the most value where the switch or power point is part of the visible finish. The next three subsections cover the project types where premium specification is most justified.
In luxury new builds, Solis supports a coordinated finish schedule across principal rooms: kitchens, entries, primary living spaces, master suites, and dining areas. The slim cover profile suits architectural homes where the design intent is clean lines and continuous surfaces. Whole-home specification simplifies procurement and protects visual consistency across the project.
For renovations, Solis is most effective when upgrading dated fittings in kitchen, bathroom, living, and bedroom areas. Replacing a tired Clipsal Classic or NLS style switch with a Solis matte or toggle option lifts the perceived quality of the room more than most other small spend items. Installation still requires a licensed electrician, and existing wall boxes should be checked for compatibility with Solis cover dimensions.
Solis suits hotel rooms, serviced apartments, executive offices, studios, showrooms, and display homes where tactile quality and visual consistency support the brand impression. The toggle action of Solis T gives a positive haptic cue that suits high-end hospitality settings. Display homes benefit because the fittings reinforce the premium positioning of the build at point of sale.
Premium specification needs justification, especially when the client compares Solis pricing with budget alternatives. Reliability, warranty cover, and long-term value all matter alongside the headline design intent.
Buyers typically review Solis on finish quality, switch feel, slim profile, ease of installation for electricians, smart compatibility, warranty terms, and Australian stock availability. Specific star ratings depend on the channel and product code; current buyer feedback for Solis products supplied through Sparky Direct is shown in the reviews section further down this page.
Clipsal Solis is covered by Schneider Electric's standard manufacturer warranty: 10-year mechanical and 7-year electronic on the relevant product lines, subject to product documentation and proper installation by a licensed electrician. Warranty cover matters because it protects builders and electricians against early failures on premium specifications, and it protects homeowners against the cost of premature replacement.
Solis is not the cheapest option, and it is not designed to be. The value case is built on finish quality, design consistency, warranty cover, smart capability across compatible mechanisms, and the visible impact on principal rooms. Premium spend is most justified in kitchens, living rooms, master suites, and feature spaces where the fitting forms part of the design statement.

Using the Clipsal Solis range on a large house renovation. Started with the kitchen bench GPOs. The client had selected still new to market 'Carbonized Bamboo' as a primary finish. I felt that the standard white or black GPO would cheapen the kitchen. My client agreed and we made the purchase. She was so excited and impressed, insisted I use Clipsal Solis switches for all light and fan controllers. These are not cheap! But they are a real class act. But in the context of a large reno cost, well sometimes the Project just needs top shelf small details.
We used the Clipsal Iconic 3041AL-VW as a concealed switch inside our wine display, and it was the perfect choice for both function and aesthetics. The architrave design is slim, discreet, and ideal for tight or narrow spaces. In our case, it allowed us to tuck the switch neatly out of sight while maintaining easy access to control the feature LED lighting within the wine cabinet. The vivid white finish complements our interior and doesn't draw attention away from the display itself. As expected with Clipsal, the build quality is excellent, and installation was hassle-free. The low-profile form factor makes it ideal for applications where you want clean lines and minimal visual interruption. Highly recommend this switch for cabinetry, feature lighting, or any design-focused installation where space and appearance matter.
They look fantastic. I replaced my 2 gang power points (also Clipsal Saturns - which I've installed in another room) for the 4 gang power points in my kitchen as I have more appliances than points. So I have 2 4 gang power points and they look great, match the light fittings and I'm very happy. I now have these throughout my home - all the light fittings and power points, they look stylish and I've had comments on them from several of my friends.
