​@@EEVblogDave, can you design and explain a battery equiliser?

Very common to have fan inside of high ip class devicess to prevent hot spots and therma difference in power components, sometimes there is two heatsinks back to back to improve internal air cooling. My experience is that dirty dust kills those high power boards, not heat.

I discovered that with a battery charger, it's a completely sealed unit and all of a sudden I could hear a sound coming from it. There was a fan inside even though it was sealed. I guess it would help move air inside internally and equalize the temp more, and it would slowly dissipate through the case.

I've had one of these inverters (at least the South African version of this 5kW unit) for the past year and it's great. Solid quality and fantastic bang for buck. A tiny bit slow to switch if grid goes down (perhaps a few ms more than ATX spec), which happens a lot here, so I've found one or two sensitive appliances just just doesn't have enough capacitance to cope. I've just added a normal UPS in front of them. Also running completely passively, so fan may just be if you're running at peak power for extended periods.

What's the maximum amperage rating of the panels you are using? I am reading a lot of contradictory information on that maximum amperage of the panels. The inverter says 13A per mptt. Others are saying the maximum amperage of the panels needs to be 13a while others are saying the panel amperage is not important as long as you take care of the maximum Voc.

Deye inverters are widely used in South Africa. I've had a 8kW version for 3 1/2 years and it has worked perfectly and has a lot of configuration options.

I've had the 12kW 3-phase Deye running here for 18 months, the first winter just as a UPS system for my whole house. It runs absolutely smoothly and the switchover to battery operation in the event of a power failure is so fast (7ms measured) that nobody notices. The GEN connection can easily take the rated power from microinverters and feed it through the device to the grid, which means that the energy from the microinverter can also be charged into the battery, which is useful in bad weather when the connected PV modules produce less power. In addition to the Victron devices, the Deye can also modulate the grid frequency of its island during a blackout to throttle connected dumb grid-tied inverters. It's a real shame to have bought such a 5 kW toy. This Deye is also available in single phase up to 16 kW and would probably work as a UPS system for your whole house.

I Love Deye Inverter (I have the 3 phase sun-8k-sg04lp3-eu myself ) The three phase one can be disassembled more easily. The inverter also comes with current sensing coils for Grid side so you dont even need a smart meter when the inverter is near the grid feed! They are one of the most advanced out there and the support from Deye is also not bad. When it comes to maximum Power per String it is very important not to go over the the MPPT Voltage Limit and maximum Current If you have under -1°Celcius in Winter you can add +1V for each Panel.

Very cool. For those that don't know, some people primarily want backup power in case the grid goes down, but that isn't hooked up to the grid, so it will likely just sit there 99% of the time. So its very expensive for little use for most people. Some people want a lower electric bill, so they feed power to the grid (after they make a deal with the power company), but the grid might not pay enough for extra electricity to cover the initial cost and maintainance of the system. Plus everything shuts down when the grid goes down, so you are without power even if it is sunny when you just have a grid tied system when the grid goes down. Hybrid inverters are the simplest solution to let people contribute to the grid, and then to disconnect from the grid in order to use the solar panels and batteries to power the house when the grid goes down. It all boils down to how much you are trying to save money for electricity versus how much power you want available when the grid goes down.

Nice to see you here. You have one of the BEST Electronics channels, congrats.

In South Africa, the market is saturated with this product, to the extent that local government has endorsed this brand for solar installations. I own the 8kW Sunsyk version, which is essentially a rebadged model with advancements in the firmware and mobile app. Key observations. Inside the cylindrical heat sink, three sendust cores are stacked per trio, serving the high-voltage DC to DC boost stage, boosting approximately 400V. The system includes several groups of switches that facilitate multiphase conversion. A TMS320 DSP orchestrates the process, supported by an array of IGBTs (NGTB40N120FL3W) sitting in a plastic mold with boost blocking diodes. Additionally, there are two independent trackers for PV1 and PV2, each capable of handling up to 425VDC each. I love this product pretty stable and has a mobile app to tweak settings and observe real-time solar production ect. This highlights how hybrid inverters' advancements have become widely recognized, largely due to research and development efforts and manufacturing in China.

About to install the 12kw 3 phase unit. Good to see the internals. Was wondering about the build quality but it all looks good. Have to agree about serviceability though. Jeez, I thought when I worked on IBM mainframes it was a bit convoluted but that's a complex teardown for a small box

maine has several other protections for this so since the manufacturers can barely read themselves just link them maine regulations and you're guaranteed to always get returns. They force warranties of X years on specific products regardless of what the manufacturer warranties it for

I have an inverter that has the generator input. It's the Schneider XW+ 6848. Similar setup, though it's not really designed to take the solar panels directly. I use Midnite Solar Classic 250s as my MPPT controllers.

Deye and Sunsynk are AFAIK brands for GlobalTech China Ltd. and just tweak the recipe for their target markets. I'm in the UK with a Sunsynk 5kW - same as this one just the on/off switch is underneath instead of on the side. It's in its 3rd year of operation and performing superbly. If they can put up with sandy, hot and likely humid African conditions then they'd have to be built pretty well. I guess if you need to dismantle these for repair then it's a pretty major overhaul anyway, like replacing all the capacitors, etc. Mine is mounted indoors in an unheated space because batteries sit below it and are not waterproof. The space beneath the heatsink is perfect for 3x 90mm PC fans which keep the operating temperature very cool and I highly recommend in this situation. Very configurable via MODBUS and my only complaint is that there is no way to directly control the internal GRID relay; I like to operate off-grid in the summer with the GRID disconnected and have to use a separate external relay for that. This avoids any energy bleed into (or from) the grid but allows my separate control system to turn it back on if batteries get too low. I can also confirm that the left-hand side is for the DC conversion electronics which works the hardest as it deals with high currents through the batteries. The right side runs at a lower temperature and probably just does the a.c. stuff.

Yhea! Nichicon for the win.

Aslo you can connect additional AC-couples inverter or a mincroinverter system with total peak power output of 5 kW or less even if you already have 5kWp solar connected via DC. It will allow to feed 5kW to your loads and 5kW to the grid at the same time. Or you can export power from AC-couples side and use DC side to charge the batteries. And full 10kW of solar will be available off-grid.

well if it does fail without a warranty at least we'll have one hell of a teardown and repair video

The transistor clamps are separate to the devices, if you had a close up it would be more obvious but they are a clamping bridge over moulded with an insulating encapsulation. The devices are standard TO-247's. You will find it in other inverter designs as well. Seems to be somewhat of a defacto standard of sorts for Chinese inverter designs (or maybe there's one particularly prolific designer that keeps using them?). The clamp isn't some part that appears in a catalogue though.

I bought the 6k, kinda regretting i didn't buy even bigger. I got the house connected via the LOAD port and a single string. The GEN port can do automatically switched load too.

Victron also supports frequency shifting on the main output so you can couple most grid tie.

Deye does, too. The obvious downside is anything that depends on proper AC frequency (such as electric clocks) won't operate properly.

I honestly worry about the future and how energy demands will be met... 5kW is massive but it's really nothing if you expect that future homes need heating/cooling and car charging all from electric. Both the batteries, the PV, and the inverters all need to get 10x cheaper and better for there to be much hope in powering future homes, I feel. My previous apartment had electric hot water (for shower etc), with gas-powered heating. We were using 10-15kWh per day in a home of 3 people. If the entire heating would be through HVAC, it'd easily be 30-40kWh per day. For that to be with energy storage, you'd be looking at a 50kWh battery lol. And that's just a moderately sized apartment...

Would you consider a video with more detail of how these units work? I have the 5kW Sunsync branded version in South Africa, fantastic kit. They can "push back" / supply power onto the grid line (and the generator / aux line). They use a CT coil on the Grid input into the house (not sure if you are allowed to use them in this configuration in Australia) to measure (and thus control) the power output to ensure that you don't feed back onto the grid itself. Thanks for the great videos.

VVVF drives for elevators are the same. All access from the front. And have to remove boards to reach the high power stuff.

Good choice, I was going to go with this for my ESS battery system, but I went with Victron instead. Partially because it's smaller/lighter, but also I prefer transformer based inverters as you don't get DC coming out of it which causes blinding of RCD's. Also I didn't like SunSynk's (rebadged Deye) warranty terms. You've got to get it installed by an electrician and send them pictures of the install and stuff or you have 0 warranty, where as with Victron they don't require any of that. Glad you picked up on the vendor lock in on batteries though, that's another gotcha for young players.

Wonder what the wasted power efficiency of this one vs your 12 year old one

Pretty nice unit especially for straight from China. Too bad they don't make these things more serviceable though, would be cool if they built it more like an electrical cabinet, and the front door just swings open and all the components are right there.

How is the EMI rubbish of this rig ?

Sunsynk look similarly

Hey Dave. I appreciate the tear down but I would worry about installing something on my home that I publicly disassembled and tampered with. Do you worry that your insurance company might take issue with this in the event of a problem? Again, thank you for the content! I just worry too much. In the states I could see them using this to deny a claim.

Good point: The local fire brigade might not see its switch because it is on its side and refuse to fight a possible house fire. Later the insurance might also question to why it was not the usual highly visible and well marked switch with a clear shut down procedure. I had a car insurance claim denied because our son had driven a car registered in my name and it got damaged on a parking lot in his absence. Remember Airfrance lost a Concorde that drove into a dodgy repair part of a Continental plane. It looked like an open and shut case against Concorde but in the end they lost!

PV disconnect is for servicing rather than emergency disconnect as PV panels will still be live. Ideal is per-panel shutdown e.g Tigo

Deye pronunciation: "Do-ya?" kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXeG0Muaos-_ocY.html

@EEVblog They no longer use Japanese Caps in these - current production builds are built with Aishi (which aren't bad) and most of the components internally are now Chinese supply chain (mosfets, relays, etc). Suspect the ones intended for video reviewers and teardowns had the nicer components in them vs production units.

"Aishi" sounds like (or reads like?) Japanese to me.

Is there anybody who know how the Luxpower compare to the Deye?

The real reason you bought it is the name, if you squint at it Deye looks like Dave
