The inverter also supports battery charging and discharging currents of up to 120A, making it suitable for homeowners looking to build a practical solar and battery backup system.

Whether you're installing solar for the first time or upgrading an existing installation, the Deye SUN-5K-SG04LP1-EU-SM2 offers a useful combination of solar generation, battery storage and backup functionality.

Why Choose the Deye SUN-5K-SG04LP1-EU-SM2?

5kW Single-Phase Power Output

With a rated AC output of 5,000W and maximum apparent power of 5,500VA, this inverter is suitable for residential properties, smaller offices, guest houses and selected small business installations.

It can supply everyday household appliances such as refrigerators, televisions, lighting, computers and security equipment, provided the combined electrical demand remains within the inverter's operating limits.

Two Independent MPPT Trackers

The two MPPT trackers allow solar panels to be installed across different roof orientations or installation areas. Each tracker supports one PV string, providing flexibility when designing your solar installation.

Up to 10kW Solar PV Array Capacity

The inverter supports a maximum PV array capacity of 10kW, with a maximum PV input power of 8kW.

This allows for a generously sized solar panel installation to improve daytime energy generation and provide additional power for battery charging.

48V Battery Storage Compatibility

The Deye 5kW hybrid inverter supports compatible lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries operating within a 40–60V range.

With maximum battery charging and discharging currents of 120A, it can accommodate a suitable battery bank for residential backup applications.

Lithium battery charging 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 to designated circuits when Eskom power is unavailable.

Depending on 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 generator integration, including storing energy from a compatible diesel generator.

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

AC Coupling for Existing Solar Systems

Already have a grid-tied solar installation? The Deye SUN-5K-SG04LP1-EU-SM2 supports AC coupling in suitable configurations, providing an option for upgrading an existing system with battery storage and hybrid energy management.

Expandable Solar Installation

For installations requiring additional capacity, up to 16 compatible units can operate in parallel in supported configurations. Multiple batteries can also be connected in parallel, subject to the manufacturer's installation requirements.
