Why Choose the Deye SUN-16K-SG01LP1-EU?

16kW Single-Phase Power Output

With a rated AC output of 16,000W, this inverter is designed for properties with substantial electricity consumption. It can support multiple household appliances, air conditioners, pumps and business equipment, provided the connected loads are correctly managed.

Three Independent MPPT Trackers

The three MPPT trackers provide flexibility when installing solar panels across different roof orientations or sections of a property. Each tracker supports two PV strings, allowing for a versatile solar panel configuration.

Up to 32kW Solar PV Array Capacity

With a maximum PV access power rating of 32kW, the inverter allows for a generously sized solar installation. This is useful for properties with high daytime electricity consumption or where additional solar generation is required for battery charging.

High-Current 48V Battery Support

The inverter supports compatible lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries operating within a 40–60V range.

Its maximum charging and discharging current of 290A makes it suitable for substantial low-voltage battery storage installations. Two battery inputs provide additional flexibility when designing the battery system.

Backup Power During Load Shedding

When connected to a suitable battery bank, the Deye 16kW hybrid inverter can provide backup power when Eskom electricity is interrupted.

This makes it a practical solution for larger homes and businesses that need to keep refrigeration, lighting, security equipment, computers and other essential appliances running.

Eskom and Generator Integration

The inverter manages solar generation, battery charging, grid electricity and generator input. It also offers configurable battery charging and discharging schedules, helping you manage energy according to your consumption patterns.

Expand Your System with Parallel Operation

For installations requiring more capacity, the Deye SUN-16K-SG01LP1-EU supports parallel operation of up to 16 units in compatible configurations.

This makes it suitable for larger solar projects where additional inverter capacity may be required.
