  • How does a DEYE On-grid 3-phase zero-export logic work?

    Hello, I am curious I inquired about how AFORE inverters 3phase zero export logic work and they said that: If the load on each leg of the inverter is unbalanced it will only produce power equal to the smallest leg for all of its leg for example: L1 - 2kW L2 - 7kW L3 - 8kW The inverter would...
  • Does Bifacial panels watts rating includes the light from the back of the panel?

    Hello, I recently came across cheap Trina Bi-facial N-type Panels only about 5% more expensive than another Non-bifacial Trina 580 N-type panel. I have read that Bi-facial panels produce more energy than their non bifacial counterpart assuming that there is ample area/light that is being bounced...
  • How do you set Deye Inverters to communicate with the battery CAN bus

    Hello been using Deye for quite a while and it would be a first time that i got a battery pack that can supposedly communicate to the inverter, I thought it would be pretty straight forward but it would seem not hence i did not ask the seller on how.

  • My solar system is generating lower energy at peak hours

    Hello friends, this is my first time installing a very large power inverter for my farm, and this is my first time encountering this issue. Usually you would have somebody else do this but since i have experience installing solar systems ( only lower capacity ones though <16KW) I thought to...

  • What brand solar breaker and surge arrestor do you use?

    I find it odd that it is almost impossible to find Solar or high voltage DC breakers from the reputable brands like schneider,ABB, etc. But there are a lot of these from chinese brands, my problem with these chinese brands is i dont know which of them is reputable. May i know what brand of...
  • On a hybrid setup where do you place the RCD?

    On a hybrid setup, where do you usually place the RCD protection device? I would assume in the load-side, but doesnt that mean that if someone is touching the inverter and got grounded the RCD wont trip. A solution to that would be to also place one in the GRID side of the Inverter, but placing...
  • Deye Battery Type: Bat% Mode

    I installed a solar system for a client and i have given them access to the app. They do not like how that the battery SOC is represented as voltage, i had always done it this way because it gives me full control of the batteries. But my client does not like this, understandably so as they are...
  • How to communicate 2 or more batteries on deye Inverters

    Hello ! I have a 16kW Deye inverter with 2 battery pack 300Ah batteries. When i tried to communicate with the battery individually there was no problem, the inverter is able to see the battery as indicated "Pylon" and the BMS specifications are also there. My question is how do i connect with...
  • How do you allocate panels to multiple MPPTs

    Assuming i have 200 Panels @ 49V each and i have 10 MPPTs with a 600V nominal 1000V max what would be the most ideal distribution of panels to the MPPT ? Assuming the setup listed below are within the amps rating of each mppt. What i want to know is which of these produces me more power per...

  • How do you properly calculate BattResistance for Deye Inverters

    In the battery page of deye inverters there is there is a setting called BattResistance, Correct me if im wrong but google says this settings is to accomodate for voltage drop of the cables from the inverter to the batteries during charging? How do you find the correct value? So do i just...
  • Can you use a 16S Battery Active Balancer on a 15S battery

    I have a battery pack that i think its on the end of its life, it is a 15S pack, and the battery voltage on some of the battery are all over the place. So i was thinking of adding a balancer to help gain a bit of its capacity back. i should be getting the 15S balancer for this pack, But...
  • Deye 16kW inverter does not fully drain the battery

    I have a 16kW inverter with 2 Battery packs in parallel, the batteries are in battery % mode (inverter sees the battery). But for some reason the battery SOC does not go bellow 15% even if i tell it to drop below that, (at 5 AM it should go to 5% SOC) Anyone has this problem?

  • Is my MPPT broken?

    I suspect something is wrong with the MPPT of my inverter. I noticed in the past few days that the inverter is reading out that its only recieving 60W from the panels (keeps moving around from 30-60W). So i went up to roof to check, I have 7 string 350W panels, and during the time i was testing...
