5KVA Deye V3 Hybrid Inverter Single-Phase 48V (SUN-5K-SG06LP1-EU-CM3)

Product Description

The Deye 5kW New Generation Hybrid Inverter V3, model SUN-5K-SG06LP1-EU-CM2, is a compact single-phase hybrid power solution for South African homes, small businesses and light agricultural applications.

It intelligently manages solar generation, battery storage and utility power through one wall-mounted unit. With 5kW of continuous output, efficiency of up to 97.6%, dual MPPT solar tracking and a high-current battery connection, it provides dependable backup during loadshedding while helping users reduce their reliance on the electricity grid.

The upgraded colour touchscreen provides clearer system information and easier access to operating settings than the standard displays used on earlier generations.

Important Version Compatibility Notice

Version 3 is not compatible with older versions of this product.

The V3 inverter cannot be used interchangeably or connected in parallel with previous-generation Deye models. Compatibility with existing inverters, batteries and other system components must be confirmed before purchasing.

Automatic Loadshedding Backup

The inverter automatically switches between solar panels, battery power and the utility grid to keep selected electrical loads operating during loadshedding.

No manual changeover is required when the system has been correctly installed and configured.

Its six programmable operating periods allow installers and advanced users to schedule:

• Battery charging times
• Battery discharge periods
• Grid usage
• Solar energy priority
• Peak electricity consumption
• Time-of-use tariff management

This flexibility allows the system to be adjusted according to household routines, business operating hours and local electricity tariff structures.

High-Current Battery Connection

The low-voltage battery interface supports a maximum charging and discharging current of 120A.

This enables the inverter to:

• Recharge compatible batteries efficiently
• Supply reliable battery power under load
• Improve performance during extended outages
• Reduce dependence on grid electricity
• Limit unnecessary generator operation
• Support lithium-ion and lead-acid battery installations

Battery compatibility, communication requirements and maximum operating current must be confirmed with the relevant battery manufacturer before installation.

Dual MPPT Solar Tracking

Two independent MPPT trackers allow separate solar panel strings to be managed individually.

The inverter accepts up to 10,000W of combined solar panel input, providing installers with greater flexibility when designing arrays across different roof sections.

Independent MPPT tracking is especially useful for installations with:

• East-facing and west-facing roof sections
• Different panel string orientations
• Partial shading
• Separate roof areas
• Uneven sunlight exposure
• Complex residential or commercial rooftops

Each tracker continuously adjusts its connected solar string to improve daily energy production.

AC Coupling for Existing Solar Installations

AC coupling allows the inverter to be integrated with certain existing grid-tied photovoltaic systems.

This makes it possible to add battery backup and hybrid functionality without necessarily replacing the existing solar panels or grid-tied inverter.

It provides a practical upgrade option for homeowners and businesses that already have a solar installation but require stored energy and loadshedding protection.

All AC-coupled designs must be assessed and configured by a qualified solar installer to confirm equipment compatibility and safe operation.

Diesel Generator Support

The Deye 5kW V3 can accept power from a compatible diesel generator for battery charging and backup support.

Generator integration is particularly useful for:

• Small farms
• Rural homes
• Businesses in areas with unstable grid supply
• Extended power interruptions
• Periods of limited solar generation
• Installations requiring an additional emergency power source

The generator must be correctly sized and configured to meet the inverter manufacturer’s requirements.

Colour Touchscreen Display

The upgraded colour touchscreen provides clear access to system settings, performance information and real-time power flow.

Users can view:

• Current solar production
• Battery charge level
• Charging and discharging activity
• Grid power usage
• Connected load demand
• Operating mode
• System alerts
• Historical performance information

The colour interface provides a more intuitive user experience than the standard monochrome LCD displays fitted to earlier Deye generations.

Wi-Fi and Remote Monitoring

Wi-Fi connectivity allows the inverter to connect to the Deye Cloud monitoring platform.

Through a compatible smartphone or internet-connected device, users can remotely monitor:

• Solar generation
• Battery status
• Grid consumption
• Load usage
• Daily energy performance
• System operating conditions

Remote access can also assist installers with basic system monitoring and performance assessment.

NRS 097 Grid Certification

The inverter holds current NRS 097 certification for approved grid-connected applications in South Africa.

This supports compliant installation and Certificate of Compliance sign-off by a registered electrical professional, provided the complete installation meets all applicable requirements.

Final grid approval remains subject to:

• Correct inverter configuration
• Municipal requirements
• Approved system design
• Applicable South African standards
• Installation by a qualified professional
• Proper commissioning and documentation

IP65-Rated Housing

The IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and moisture, allowing greater flexibility when selecting an installation location.

The inverter may be installed in approved indoor or outdoor wall-mounted positions, provided all manufacturer requirements are followed.

Adequate clearance, ventilation and protection from unsuitable environmental conditions must still be maintained.

Scalable Parallel Operation

Up to 16 compatible Deye V3 units can operate in parallel to increase total system capacity.

This allows qualifying installations to expand as electricity demand grows.

Only compatible Version 3 inverters should be combined. Parallel installation, communication cabling and commissioning must be completed according to the manufacturer’s technical instructions.
