Why Choose the Deye SUN-6K-SG04LP1-EU-SM2?

6kW Single-Phase Power Output

With a rated AC output of 6,000W and maximum apparent power of 6,600VA, this inverter is suitable for residential properties, smaller offices, guest houses and selected small business installations.

It can supply multiple household appliances, including refrigerators, televisions, lighting, computers and other essential equipment, provided the combined electrical demand remains within the inverter's limits.

Two Independent MPPT Trackers

The two MPPT trackers allow solar panels to be connected across different roof orientations or installation areas. Each tracker supports its own PV string, giving installers flexibility when designing the solar array.

Up to 12kW Solar PV Array Capacity

The inverter supports a maximum PV array capacity of 12kW, with a maximum PV input power of 9.6kW.

This allows you to install a generously sized solar array to make better use of available sunlight and provide additional energy for battery charging.

48V Battery Storage Compatibility

The Deye SUN-6K-SG04LP1-EU-SM2 supports compatible lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries operating within a 40–60V range.

With maximum battery charging and discharging currents of 135A, it can accommodate substantial battery storage for residential backup applications.

Lithium battery charging automatically adapts to compatible battery management systems (BMS), helping coordinate charging and discharging between the inverter and battery.

Backup Power During Load Shedding

When connected to a suitable battery bank, the inverter can provide backup electricity during Eskom interruptions.

Depending on your battery capacity and electricity consumption, you can keep essential equipment running, including:

• Lights and household appliances
• Refrigerators and freezers
• WiFi routers and internet equipment
• Security systems and cameras
• Televisions and computers
• Selected office equipment

Eskom and Generator Integration

The inverter manages solar generation, battery storage and grid electricity. It also supports storing energy from a compatible diesel generator, providing another option for installations requiring additional backup power.

Six programmable battery charging and discharging time periods allow you to manage energy usage according to your household requirements and available electricity tariffs.

AC Coupling for Existing Solar Systems

If you already have a grid-tied solar installation, the Deye inverter supports AC coupling in suitable configurations. This provides an option for upgrading an existing system with battery storage and hybrid energy management.

Expandable Solar Installation

For larger energy requirements, up to 16 compatible units can operate in parallel in supported on-grid and off-grid configurations. Multiple batteries can also be connected in parallel, subject to system design requirements.
