Eclipse timing variations (ETV) have been a successful tool for detectingcircumbinary companions to eclipsing binaries (EB). While TESS and Kepler havebeen prolific for ETV searches, they sometimes can be limited by time and skycoverage which can be addressed by specialised ground-based ETV surveys. Wepresent the initial results from the Solaris photometric survey which uses four0.5m robotic telescopes in the southern hemisphere to look for circumbinarycompanions. We present the method of light curve extraction, detrending, and EBmodelling using the observations from the Solaris network. Using these lightcurves we extract precise eclipse timing for 7 EB and look for companions usinga Lomb-Scargle periodogram search. We find two possible periodic signals forthe target GSC 08814-01026. With the system having strong activity, we checkfor the feasibility of orbital solutions at these two periods. We find that the245 +/- 1 d period is due to an M-dwarf mass companion. This makes GSC08814-01026 a candidate compact hierarchical triple system. The other periodicsignal at 146 +/- 1 d is an artefact of stellar activity.
