    Unboxing of Deye 16K Hybrid Inverter

    That's just the 5K & 8K only. There's no US version of 16K available anywhere in the world period. BTW, authorized Deye distributor is not allowed to ship US Split-phase products to the USA. Deye tracked the Serial Numbers of the units and know where the units come from, they have a kill...

    Unboxing of Deye 16K Hybrid Inverter

    Greeting All, Everything is humming along. I've ditched the somewhat limited 5KW 120VAC only Growatt Autotransformer and have successfully Reversed Engineered the 16K, this early spring. I just hated the low humming buzzing noise of a traditional transformer. The 16K is operating in UL1741 US...

    Sol-Ark 12K Inverter ?

    At least Deye has an honest product naming convention and not with a fancy slice of hand. An 8K is 8KW and a 16K is 16KW. No monkey business and no need to read the datasheet to figure out being short changed. James is learning fast from his Plano TX neighbor with its 18K PV, Exclusive...

    Sol-Ark 12K Inverter ?

    Sol Ark 15 != Deye 16K, you got your facts wrong. Check the specs. The Sol-Ark 15K will only output 12KW on the LOAD output (UPS/Battery), while the Deye is 16KW. This my 16K OFF-GRID, the LOAD in this stress test were generated by the following. 1. L1 + L2 Level 2 EV charging on 240V 2. L1...

    Sol-Ark's Comment on EG4 18k-PV-12-LV

    Buy it for $8,250.00 Buy it for $5,599.00 Buy it for $2,628.00 There's always a cheaper and more capable option if you look harder, beyond Plano, TX to their supplier in Ningo, China ? But then, this is not for folks that needs hand holding, UL 1741, and blah blah.

    The documentation from Deye and SunSynk has done a pretty bad job in describing how to perform a Neutral to Earth/Ground bonding when the 16K Hybrid Inverter is operating in "Island Mode" (When GRID is disconnected) and needs N/G bonding. Keith from SunSyn has posted a YouTube video that...

    The current model of the 16K com board DOES NOT have pin 19,20 for 230V ~ to drive an external relay for Neutral to Ground Bonding. The confusion arises from the documentation screen shot attached, that referenced the word "ATS" (Auto-Transfer-Switch). If you read carefully between the...
