About the Deye 18kw Hybrid Inverter Single Phase
The Deye 18kw Hybrid Inverter Single Phase is a high-performance, all-in-one solar inverter designed for residential, commercial, and small industrial solar + battery storage systems. This hybrid inverter seamlessly integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, battery energy storage, and grid interaction, delivering optimized energy management, enhanced self-consumption, and reliable backup power during grid outages.
Detailed Features
- High Output Power — 18 kW
- Delivers up to 18 000 W of AC power from DC solar and battery sources, ideal for high-load environments and larger energy demands.
- Hybrid Energy Management
- Combines PV, battery, and grid power in one intelligent controller
- Automatically prioritizes self-consumption of solar energy, then battery storage, and finally grid import when needed.
- Supports time-of-use (TOU) settings so users can program when to charge from the grid (off-peak) and discharge (peak), reducing electricity bills.
- Battery Integration
- Supports high-voltage battery systems (often 150–800 V DC) with flexible charging/discharging configurations.
- Enables peak shaving, load shifting, and backup power modes.
- Seamless Backup Power
- Provides automatic UPS-style switchover (milliseconds) to keep essential loads running during grid failure
- Dedicated backup output enables wiring of critical circuits (lights, refrigerator, router).
- Smart PV Utilization with Dual MPPT
- Dual Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) channels support multiple PV array configurations.
- Wide voltage range allows flexible string design and maximizes energy harvest even under partial shading or diverse orientations.
- Communication & Monitoring
- Built-in communication options include Wi-Fi, RS485, CAN, USB and optional GPRS/LAN modules.
