EEVblog 1620 - Deye Solar Hybrid Inverter EXTREME TEARDOWN

Pretty good examination of the hybrid architecture.

Main takeaway for me was that it is best to get the array string high enough to avoid needing the PV boost stage. I think this is about 360 volts. if you can do that, then your PV to AC efficiency rises.

So the named brands for the major components have been replaced by Chinese copies and the marketing not changed.

Does this also apply to the solarks (Deye in North America)? Is there a specific date when they moved away from what they initially released with?

No idea but as they are made in the same factory its likely they changed at the same time, taking the cover off and looking at the caps would show quickly enough.

I don't have a solark myself but seeing the prices they are charging (USD$7000) for the 12k (15kpv) and claiming premium component brands seems a little off.
 
Tis the Chinese way, first production is a quality item and then once established start to feed in cost reductions by using cheaper parts and processes.

Tis the industrial way. The Chinese are definitely not the first to cost reduce production.

Ask Henry Ford about it.

Not sure that Henry was advertising using one companies parts and then using another's. When buying Chinese industrial equipment you specify Bosch relays etc, check the first ones made and then carry on checking as sooner or later the Chinese relays will appear.
