A Deye 8kVA hybrid inverter, such as the SUN-8K-SG04LP3-EU, is a versatile device designed for both on-grid and off-grid solar power systems. It offers a combination of grid-tie and off-grid capabilities, allowing for energy storage and consumption, and can be used in residential or small commercial settings. The inverter integrates a hybrid function, meaning it can manage power from solar panels, batteries, and the grid, optimizing energy usage and potentially reducing reliance on the power grid. Key Features: Hybrid Functionality: Combines grid-tie and off-grid capabilities, allowing for energy storage and self-consumption. Dual MPPTs: Features two Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) inputs, maximizing energy harvest from solar panels even under shading or varying sunlight conditions. Battery Compatibility: Supports both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries for energy storage. Flexible Operation Modes: Offers multiple operation modes, including grid-tie, off-grid, and hybrid modes. Remote Monitoring: Enables remote monitoring and control via Wi-Fi or other communication options. High Efficiency: Achieves high conversion efficiency (up to 97.6% in some models) for optimal power output. IP65 Protection: Designed with an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water ingress. Parallel Operation: Supports parallel connection of multiple inverters for increased power capacity. AC Coupling: Compatible with retrofitting existing solar systems. Generator Input: Can connect to a diesel generator for backup power. Unbalanced Output: Handles 100% unbalanced output, ensuring stable power delivery even with uneven loads across phases. Low Voltage Battery Support: Compatible with 48V low voltage battery systems. User-Friendly Interface: Features an LCD display for real-time monitoring of power flows and system performance.
