Deye SUN-16K-SG01LP1-EU-AM3-P

This is the most powerful single-phase hybrid inverter in the SG01LP1 series and is aimed at buildings with very high consumption supplied on a single phase. Like any hybrid inverter, it links the panels, the battery, the grid and the loads into a single system and keeps the building supplied when the grid goes down. Its particularity is the two separate battery inputs, which allow a much larger battery bank, that is a longer autonomy.

With 16000 W of continuous power it can simultaneously support almost all the loads of a villa or of a small commercial space, and in the absence of the grid it delivers double this power for 10 seconds, enough to start large motors. Modules totalling up to 32000 W can be connected, of which a maximum of 25600 W is processed, distributed over three trackers with two strings each - enough for a large roof or for several building bodies. The battery is charged and discharged with up to 290 A, that is as a guide about 13.9 kW at 48 V, so almost the entire power of the inverter can come from storage in the evening and at night. The direct grid-to-loads pass-through withstands 100 A, a value that also covers strong connections. It is a heavy device, of 54.1 kg and 464x763x282 mm, so it requires two people for installation and a solid wall; the enclosure is sealed against dust and splashes, it works between -40 and 60 °C and up to 3000 m altitude.

PV: 32000 W connected power, 25600 W maximum at the input, 3 MPPT with two strings each (2+2+2), 36+36+36 A (Isc 54+54+54 A), Vmax 500 V, start-up 125 V, MPPT window 150-425 V, nominal 370 V. AC: 16000 W active, 17600 VA apparent, 72.8/69.6 A nominal and 80/76.6 A maximum, 220/230 V (0.85-1.1 Un), 50/45-55 Hz or 60/55-65 Hz, L+N+PE, bypass 100 A, off-grid 2x Pn for 10 s, maximum efficiency 97.6%, European 96.5%, MPPT efficiency over 99%. Two independent battery inputs, lead-acid or lithium, 40-60 V, 290 A charge/discharge, automatic adaptation to the BMS. RS485/RS232/CAN communication, optional WiFi/Bluetooth/4G/LAN monitoring. IP65 enclosure, 464x763x282 mm, 54.1 kg, intelligent air cooling, permitted altitude 3000 m, operation -40...60 °C. Standards: IEC 61727, IEC 62116, IEC/EN 62109-1/-2, IEC/EN 61000-6.

Who it suits

Suitable for villas and buildings with very high single-phase consumption or for grid-independent systems, where a large 48 V battery bank connected on two separate battery inputs is needed.

Terms explained

• Two battery inputs: The battery bank can be split over two separate circuits, which allows a greater storage capacity and cables that are easier to manage at high currents.
• 100 A bypass: How much current can pass from the grid through the inverter directly to the loads; a high value allows the connection of a strong supply without bypassing the inverter.
• MPPT window (150-425 V): The voltage range in which the inverter can extract energy from the panels; it determines how many panels are connected in series in a string.

Technical specifications

Recommended applications

• Villas and buildings with very high single-phase consumption
• Small commercial applications with massive 48 V storage
• Off-grid systems with extended autonomy and a diesel generator
• Parallel configurations of up to 16 inverters

Warranty

5 years, extendable to 10 years depending on the final place of installation (Deye warranty policy)

Technical details

Specifications confirmed from the manufacturer's datasheet

Deye SUN-16K-SG01LP1-EU-AM3-P is the most powerful single-phase hybrid inverter in the SG01LP1-EU-AM3-P series, with 16 kW of rated power and an architecture based on three MPPT trackers. It supports 32000 W of connected photovoltaic power and 25600 W of maximum PV input power, on 3 MPPT with two strings each (3/2+2+2), with 36+36+36 A maximum working current and 54+54+54 A short-circuit current. The maximum PV voltage is 500 V, start-up from 125 V, MPPT window 150-425 V, nominal PV voltage 370 V.

On the AC side it delivers 16000 W active nominal and 17600 VA maximum apparent power, with 72.8/69.6 A nominal current and 80/76.6 A maximum current, at 220/230 V (0.85-1.1 Un), 50/45-55 Hz or 60/55-65 Hz, L+N+PE connection. The grid-to-load bypass withstands 100 A, and in off-grid it delivers double the rated power for 10 s. Maximum efficiency 97.6%, European 96.5%, MPPT efficiency over 99%.

It has two independent battery inputs (lead-acid or lithium), 40-60 V, with 290 A maximum charge and discharge current and self-adaptation to the BMS. RS485/RS232/CAN communication, optional WiFi/Bluetooth/4G/LAN monitoring. The IP65 enclosure of 464x763x282 mm weighs 54.1 kg, with intelligent air cooling, a permitted altitude of 3000 m and operation between -40 and 60 degrees C. Standards: IEC 61727, IEC 62116, IEC/EN 62109-1/-2, IEC/EN 61000-6.
