Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Deye 8kW run an air conditioner during loadshedding?
Yes. A standard 18,000 BTU inverter air conditioner draws around 2,000W at running load and up to 4,500W at startup. The Deye 8kW handles this comfortably alongside essential loads such as a fridge, lights, and router without tripping the system under normal conditions.
Which batteries are compatible with the Deye 8kW hybrid inverter?
The Deye 8kW is compatible with Dyness, HinaEss PowerGem, Gotion, Shoto, and Deye lithium batteries stocked by SP-Energy. All batteries are pre-tested for firmware compatibility with the SUN-8K range before dispatch.
How many solar panels can I connect to the Deye 8kW?
The Deye 8kW accepts up to 12,800W of PV input across two MPPT trackers. Using 550W panels from JA Solar or Jinko, you can connect up to 23 panels split across both inputs. Your installer will size the string configuration to suit your roof layout and orientation.
