Setup at my parents house in Sri Lanka. Deye 5kW. 9x JA 540W panels, 16x 280Ah CATL cells from Basen, JK BMS

Stolen from a Deye 16KW user on Facebook

Deye will activate remote control if you email them at service@deye.com.cn. Also they will reduce the data refresh interval to 1min if you ask them so solarman will update every 1min instead of 5min

Sol Ark couldn't afford to pay someone $200 to create an animation on Fiverr so they copied Deye's 2 year old video lol Deye video from 2 years ago

Lion energy was another brand that used to sell Deye's before Sol-Ark sued them for violating the non-compete agreement.

I only commented once in your videos and you've banned me for saying its a Deye inverter? ? SOK commented the same. Would you ban them too?

Agreed. Shopify should be the easiest way to go

Interesting read :LOL: https://casetext.com/case/portable-solar-llc-v-lion-energy-llc

Its reliable as Sol-Ark because its the same thing ;)

Also check this out https://www.sol-ark.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/SA-5K-2P-Spec-Sheet-8-5-22.pdf

95% of 12V LFP batteries don't support series connections. If your ones support that then you can use battery V mode without any issues. I use my 5K-SG03LP1-EU with JK BMS in battery V mode. Works perfectly

Not really gonna happen with Chinese products. Chinese usually doesn't copy Chinese. Deye/Lux will sue the copycats. Powmr is copying voltronic designs because voltronic is Taiwanese

Victron prices absolutely tanked in Australia Multiplus II 5kW is just USD813 3kW model is just USD553 https://www.awardrv.com.au/victron-energy-multiplus-ii-48-5000-70-50-230v https://www.awardrv.com.au/victron-energy-multiplus-ii-48-3000-35-32

Yep but OP is in a 230v country

Ok I ended up rewiring and breaking the string to 2. 4 panels and 5 panels. Deye MPPT starting voltage is advertised as 150V but my 4 panel string goes below that to like 146V under load but it works perfectly fine.

I bought a 5KW deye to replace my Growatt SPF5000ES with 9 panels 540w in string. I have read the datasheets and manual before buying and there is no mention of the limit of 3250W per MPPT on these documents. Even the seller said 9 x 540W panels in single string would work fine. I didn't want to...

Deye had it before you decided to rebrand it. https://diysolarforum.com/attachments/1672879758721-png.127978/ https://diysolarforum.com/attachments/1672885769955-png.127987/ https://diysolarforum.com/attachments/1672885743234-png.127986/...

Not just regular consumers, industry experts like @HighTechLab seem to believe Sol-Ark's BS. @HighTechLab , Here is the same inverter installed in Nigeria 3 years ago. I guess Sol-Ark was field testing the 5kW inverter in poor countries 2.5 years before they introduced it in the US lol...

Sunsynk is the same as Deye but it runs a different UI firmware. These inverters got 2 separate firmware for LCD and Inverter itself. Inverter firmware is same for both Deye and Sunsynk. Sunsynk is owned by Deye

These 2 modes were released back in February for Sunsynk/Deye inverters. Explanation video here, Looks like these 2 options were made available to Sol-Ark by Deye now.

Not comprehensive as Powerview? You are dreaming. Powerview is a different skin for the Solarman business app which Deye uses. Deye uses the real deal while Sol-ark fools everybody with their own wannabe Solarman so people like you find comfort in thinking you are not using Chinese things. Name...

Another screenshot showing PV1 operating just fine eventhough its under 150v

Yes Yes and Yes

Wrong. Sol-Ark 12K is 9Kw output.

Someone who got the Deye 16KW shared this on Deye users facebook group

Deye will activate remote control if you email them at service@deye.com.cn. Also they will reduce the data refresh interval to 1min if you ask them so solarman will update every 1min instead of 5min

Deye's are the best you can get out of China https://setlenergy.co.nz/products/sun-5-6k-sg04lp1-5-6kw-hybrid-inverter-low-voltage-battery

lol you are dreaming if you think they can sell you a battery with 16 of these brand new cells, BMS and a case while making a profit for $1230 each. Dawnice is using used cells. I have a friend who bought 2 of their 5kwh batteries for $900 each about an year ago

I don't think it would be worth the time, headache, and money. Just buy some lifepo4's

Well, that doesn't mean that the connections are good.

Maybe referring to floating neutral

Buy from here - https://sun-link.en.alibaba.com/ I bought 3x Growatts and a Deye 5Kw SG03LP01-EU from them. My friends bought at least 5X Growatts and 3 Deyes from them. They ship on the same day and provide excellent warranty service

Hi I'm using the EU model. Single phase 240v 50hz

Not possible

Sunsynk and Deye uses same core firmware with different UI firmware. Same version numbers. Both Deye, Sunsynk gets updated every month or so. Deye isn't old.

I have never seen a company that gives their IP to a contract manufacturer in China and say "Hey do whatever you wish using our IP outside the US, we don't care"

Not sure about this one but I use the bigger JK LCD and it is always on.

Nice work :-) How did you do it? Also I have seen some chinese sellers advertising US versions of Deye on Facebook. Sol-Ark exclusivity might be gone now judging by the production date

Not possible practically because Deye wouldn't do it.

Truth is Sol-Ark probably saw the Deye at a tradeshow and decided to slap their badge on it. They saw some success and decided to do some custom modifications to the casing + built-in breakers next. Throw "Veterans made" into the mix and now people like you call it a Lexus lol

What do you have to say about this @robby ? https://web.archive.org/web/20180314071750/https://deyeinverter.en.alibaba.com/ So Deye was selling the 8kw hybrid since at least March 2018 (That is the earliest snapshot from wayback machine) and your claimed "2017" video was uploaded in April 2018

Check the bus bar connections. Loose bus bar bolt will cause the cell not to charge correctly thus BMS showing lower voltage and same with your multimeter

Its a circuit breaker. You don't need to buy a dongle. Just contact deye and ask them to unbind your current dongle. Once that is done, you can set up an account as a new one

Use lead acid mode

No you dont have to do anything. If you want an update down the line, submit a request here - https://www.sunsynk.org/up-grade

No difference except UI on LCD. Probably not No. Its same as Deye. Both uses Solarman platform for data logging and fastest updates that you can get is every 1min

Why is Vctron skimping out on battery side capacitor bank? Other LF inverters like Schneider XW, SMA got a large capacitor bank for battery

Just run an addon that turns all Amazon,Ebay,Aliexpress,Alibaba links posted here to Affliate links (If it isnt already there) and profit. No need to mess with ads. It will make good money

Yes

Deye 50Kw is just $6050 from Alibaba https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/SUN-50K-SG01HP3-EU-BM4-Pure_1600896985966.html Can't believe that Sol-Ark is charging $14750 for the 30Kw version. 60Kw version is $19750. https://practicalpreppers.com/product/sol-ark-60k/...

In Sri Lanka they use Pylontech and Huawei batteries for mobile tower sites. Some sites got solar but its AC coupled

Deye released the HV inverters including a 50kw few months ago. I guess Solark will release those in the US market in near future

1. No. 14A is acceptable but 17.4A is too much. It will fry the MPPT 2. I don't think so

Yes I did use the clamp. You can place it inside the inverters wiring area. Deye 5kW got 5kW on backup side.

Around 65 Watts

Sol-Ark claims they designed these inverters while they are yet to release their 30K HV inverter. SunSynk/Deye (SunSynk is owned by Deye btw) introduced it 8 months ago https://www.sol-ark.com/sol-ark-30k-all-in-one/ BTW did anyone notice that Sol-Ark didnt even bother to change the case...

Me and my solar friends bought Growatt SPF5000ES and only one lasted more than an year out of like 10

Hi, yes if I connect everything in one string it will just work and won't produce over 3250W but then I would be wasting power because my panels are 4850W and I will atleast get 4000W at peak. Did you take those screenshots from Deye monitoring? Why your PV1 is 76? Does it produce power at...

You need to place the CT on grid wire, not backup load. If you do not have anything loads connected on grid side, you can then place it inside the inverter

There was a comparison of internals somewhere of Deye 8KW and Sol-Ark 8K. It was the same thing

Doesn't make sense when lfp batteries are already cheap enough. Going by your logic you need to have 100kwh of batteries to use 15kwh of power per day. What a waste of money Lfp battery of 20kwh will last over 15 years easily when cycled for 15kwh per day. And you can build 2 x 20kwh lfp...

@Cheap 4-life Have a look here - https://diysolarforum.com/threads/sol-ark-not-a-good-company-to-deal-with-12k.44005/post-658781 @robby was claiming Sol-Ark handmade the first units in US for testing and then sent those Deye for mass manufacturing. He also claimed that Sol-Ark sent one of those...

Victron doesn't seem to be so reliable these days. So many customers are having issues with Multiplus II 5kva units as well. https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/108663/victron-multiplus-ii-noise-level-what-is-your-expe.html Deye/Sunsynk are eating Victron's lunch in EU and Asia with...

I got the same cells with same QR code and everything. I got those from Basen green. Working well so far and its been 2.5 months. 16 cells stay in balance. Please post your capacity test results

Add 2-3 more panels using the money that you are going to spend for the phoenix

Keep dreaming 🤣 BYD is dominating the market. So glad to see them taking over Tesla here in Australia

Load port will deliver the full inverter throughput through there. In my case 5kw from deye 5kw.

9 panels in a string is within the range. My growatt inverter reports 350-400v so its perfect for Deye. I would much prefer not to split up the current string but I don't want to limit the power to 3250w either

For those who are interested, Deye 16KW is about $2800-2900 from Alibaba sellers

I decided to first try panels in one string and see what happens and go from there. Honestly I wouldn't have bought this inverter if they advertised this in the datasheet or manual

Check the cell busbar connections to see if its loose

@eriklefevre I asked this question a month ago from Deye. This was their reply. I didn't really follow up because I didn't understand their English

At least they are not lying about who makes their inverter

SUN-5K-SG03-LP1-EU Update requested and updated to latest today 3/10/2022 (Above screenshot is after the update)

?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

That is exactly what I meant. Sol-Ark 12K got a 12kW SCC which is underneath the main inverter board. The main inverter board is 9kW for Sol-Ark. That is why Deye 8kW and Sol-Ark 12K got identical mainboards. You cant see the SCC in this picture

Google NH00 fused disconnect

My bad I thought rolls surette is AGM. But my point still stands

You cant use Lithium mode without BMS comms. Inverter simply doesnt allow that

I was talking about the components as well tbh. Caps are Nichicon 105c rated on Deye and both Sol-Ark and Deye use the same relays. Pretty sure IGBT's are the same. MCU is same.

MPP is a proper licensed Voltronics rebrand. PowMR is a cheap clone. Go with MPP if you want support and spare part availability

No. Its exactly the same with different colour schemes for apps. Sunsynk app is made by Solarman. You can use Deye cloud app for Deye which is same as Sunsynk app (again made by solarman)

Battrium only does 500ma balancing right? Why not go for JK BMS? Simple and elegant. Zero reasons to go with Seplos over JK if you don't need inverter comms

External contactor to make the bond

I think you will have to use lead acid mode. Did you read the manual?

damn my SG03 5kw is on the way and my string is already wired 4850w. I'm going to use it in zero export mode. Not sure if this limitation is there in SG03 as well.

Whats the usual selling price (end of auction) for these on grays?

Not really. 150/75 doesnt mean 150v x 75A 48/3000 isnt 48v 3000w

Did you check the settings? Maybe a discharge current limit is set?

I have a friend with SG04 5kw and mine is SG03 5kw. We both have similar number of panels but his one runs significantly cooler than my SG03

Yeah but you dont needs comms for that. You set the values on the inverter to be little higher than BMS low voltage cutoff and little lower than BMS high voltage cutoff. You also have the BMS to do the second round of protection with its own low/high voltage cut off. I have been running my...

How much did you pay for air freight? Im in Australia and thinking about buying one

No but someone posted few pictures somewhere in this forum with both taken apart.

Well, it kind of depends on how often you are planning to do that. I guess you are talking about emergency situations.

Can you please post some pictures? How is the fit and finish? Information from the thread is a roller coaster lol

Well, what if I have a shit battery? JK helps to keep it in balance where your Batrium will struggle. I'm pretty sure that there have been quite a few posts about Batrium too

What is your cooling fan setup?

No reason to spend 1000 euros more for SG05. Just go with the SG01.
