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.
