Deye 3.6–10 kW Single-Phase Low-Voltage Hybrid Solar Inverter

This is Deye's single-phase hybrid inverter range for homes on a 230 V supply, sold in seven sizes from 3.6 kW to 10 kW. Every unit runs solar panels, a 48 V battery bank and the grid together, and keeps the house alive when the grid drops out. The cabinet, the touchscreen and the 97.6% peak efficiency are the same across all seven; what changes is how much panel and battery current each one will take.

True of every rating

• Takes a lead-acid or lithium battery bank anywhere from 40 to 60 V, on one battery input
• 97.6% peak efficiency and 96.5% European efficiency, with two MPPT trackers and a 500 V panel limit
• Sealed well enough to sit on an outside wall (IP65) and quiet at under 30 dB
• Up to 16 units wired in parallel, and it works from -40 to 60 C

3.6 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter for a flat or a small home

This is the entry point of the range at 3,600 W, and it suits a flat or a small home whose big loads are a fridge, lighting and one air conditioner. It takes up to 5,760 W of panel input, with 7,200 W of array allowed to be wired in, and charges the battery at up to 90 A. Grid passthrough is 35 A, so a modest incoming supply feeds the loads directly when the sun is down.

Rated output: 3,600 W · Battery charge and discharge: 90 A · Max PV input: 5,760 W · Grid passthrough: 35 A

Model code: SUN-3.6K-SG05LP1-EU-SM2-P

5 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter for a four-bedroom villa

The 5 kW model lifts battery current to 120 A, so a 48 V bank refills noticeably faster than on the 3.6 kW unit, and the panel budget grows to 8,000 W of input. Output is 5,500 VA and 25 A on a single phase, which covers a four-bedroom home running two or three air conditioners. Grid passthrough stays at 35 A, the same as the smallest unit, so the incoming supply is the thing to check.

Rated output: 5,000 W · Battery charge and discharge: 120 A · Max PV input: 8,000 W · AC output current: 25 A

Model code: SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU-SM2-P

6 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter with 135 A battery charging

The 6 kW unit gives 6,000 W, 6,600 VA of apparent power and 30 A of output current, enough for a villa running air conditioning through the afternoon. Battery charge and discharge reach 135 A, and grid passthrough rises to 40 A, one step above the 3.6 and 5 kW models. Panel input is 9,600 W with up to 12,000 W of array allowed, so a roof already full of panels is not wasted.

Rated output: 6,000 W · Battery charge and discharge: 135 A · Max PV input: 9,600 W · Grid passthrough: 40 A

Model code: SUN-6K-SG05LP1-EU-SM2-P

7 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter for a large family home

The 7 kW is where the solar side changes. Input current per tracker jumps from 18 A to 32 A and the short-circuit rating from 27 A to 48 A, so longer, higher-current strings are allowed, and full-load tracking begins at 200 V instead of 300 V. Battery charge and discharge run to 175 A, output is 7,700 VA, and the array budget is 14,000 W. It fits a large family home with a deep battery bank.

Rated output: 7,000 W · Battery charge and discharge: 175 A · PV input current per tracker: 32 A · Full-load MPPT range: 200 to 425 V

Model code: SUN-7K-SG05LP1-EU-SM2-P

7.6 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter with 50 A grid passthrough

At 7,600 W rated output this model sits between the 7 kW and 8 kW units, and it is the smallest in the range to get the 50 A grid passthrough rather than 40 A. Battery charge and discharge run to 190 A, apparent power to 8,360 VA, and the panel budget is 12,160 W of input with 15,200 W of array. Full-load tracking works from 200 V, the same wide window as the 7 kW.

Rated output: 7,600 W · Battery charge and discharge: 190 A · Max PV input: 12,160 W · Grid passthrough: 50 A

Model code: SUN-7.6K-SG05LP1-EU-SM2-P

8 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter for a shop or small workshop

The 8 kW delivers 8,800 VA and 40 A of output on one phase, which covers a shop, a small workshop or a villa with a pool pump. It shares the 190 A battery current of the 7.6 kW model but takes more panels: 12,800 W of input and 16,000 W of array. Full-load MPPT tracking starts at 250 V here rather than the 200 V of the 7 and 7.6 kW units, so string length matters.

Rated output: 8,000 W · Apparent power: 8,800 VA · Max PV array: 16,000 W · Full-load MPPT range: 250 to 425 V

Model code: SUN-8K-SG05LP1-EU-SM2-P

10 kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter for a large villa or shop unit

Top of the range at 10,000 W and 11,000 VA, with 50 A of output current on a single phase. Battery charge and discharge reach 210 A, the highest figure in this family, and the panel budget is 16,000 W of input with 20,000 W of array allowed, close to triple what the 3.6 kW unit takes. Grid passthrough is 50 A, matching the 8 kW model. Suits a large villa or a small commercial unit.

Rated output: 10,000 W · Battery charge and discharge: 210 A · Max PV input: 16,000 W · AC output current: 50 A
