Let's save the bricked Deye inverter

[Brandon.UnizSolar]

The actions of Deye and Sol-ark clearly violated our interests as the end users. It was a very st**d act.
This is not to promote clean energy, but to punish any buyer who wants to use a cheaper inverter.

I saw some posts suggesting to reflash the system and change the monitoring software.
Are there any practical steps？
or suggestions on how to prevent being locked out in the future if someone wants to use Deye?

It wasn't an act it was a crime.

Go thru the thread there is a user that wants a bricked inverter to try to unlock. Appears it will be difficult though. Do you have a bricked inverter?

No, I just received my Deye.

dont connect the dongle...use solar assistant

but as your location shows the hague, the netherlands ; you wont have a problem regardless....

This only pertains to split phase/US inverters, and certainly not ALL

I guess that you didn't see that several 3-phase EU versions were also bricked?

Brandon.UnizSolar states his location in my backyard, if that is so , he'll be fine

I am about to order the new Deye inverter and the Chinese supplier said that Deye doesn't let them to sell their new inverters to Europe/ UK / USA.
The price is obviously half price if you buy it from China.
So by not putting the Dongle is it going to work in the UK ? Any suggestions welcome
cheers

Yes you can reflash it .
If you have broken one , you have nothing to lose.
You need a bios that is not broken.
Reflash it and normal it will work.
But if the flash unit is model that have fuse in it.
Than you need to compleet new bios chip .
That means solder it out if its solder .
New flash chip and flag it .
Resolder the new one back.

Its not easy to do .
And you need solder hot station to do so.

he'll be fine

maybe.
the risk is there, and now we know.

I am about to order the new Deye inverter

I would buy some other brand. But that is my point of view. I don't like to reward the perpetrators...

When we reward bad actors, we get more bad actors.
When we punish bad actors, we get less bad actors.
Who would want more bad actors, in this market?

Cheaper to make a movie .

Its all about cost .

 

[OffGridForGood]

Good Actors cost more, but they make the blockbusters.

Not me alone, no.
I'm just one lost customer.
But if enough people find out that they can't be trusted, maybe.

Again..
This is all sol-ark...

No not all Sol Ark. They don't have the resources or information necessary. Sol Ark may have pushed them but IMO Deye did it. The main damage is to cloud bases services of all companies. Anyone who would stay connected to the internet is blissfully ignorant.

 

[Offgrid Jungle]

Buy EG4 or Lux. Walk away from Deye and Sol-Ark. They did this TOGETHER and both are to blame.

 

[teal95]

I'm not sure what percentage of the blame each has earned but it's enough that I won't buy from either.

The guy in Costa Rica got a code from Deye and unbricked his inverter, so Deye is the one that bricked them.

You can make sense of what he has posted on this whole topic? Are you an interpreter?
