Thank you sir, I got me a Growatt inverter and now i regret not geting a Deye!
Most people get what the salesmen sell them. Me, I never trust a salesman. Always do my own research before I buy anything. Growatt are a very inexpensive run-of-the-mill unit. Most of them work ok.
Sounds like a vibration. And I agree, the Deye/SolArk inverters are a tough package to beat!
Victron is not doing itself any favours producing noisy inverters and MPPT controllers that 1 make such a noise and 2 over heat in normal operating conditions. I can understand why Liveaboard cruisers are moving away from them. Hell was no way I was having such a loud thing running my home. Let alone having one in the same Hull I sleep in. 🖖 ✌ 👍
Very helpful! nice to see (and hear) that the Deye is not noisy.. as I also just bought one,, for a similar small fortune. I now got it on the wall,, still need to connect it,, will go see if you have any good videos i can steal,, I mean find inspiration from. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
any feedback after 2 months of owning it???
@@martiruda new video. th-cam.com/video/ApJMEygLl6I/w-d-xo.html you can see its all working great. Don't even know it's there. Watch the video. enjoy
@@JustinCaseSolarPower Excellent stuff!!! Thanks a lot. I will watch it and comment on the video.
Deye is very good hybrid 3phase device and popular in Europe too, good video.
Thank you. Yes, they are a very good unit. We love both of our units.
deye/sunsynk/sol-ark ( all the same devices) are in a class of their own for now.
luxpower is slowly comming to the party, but these inverters are just amazing
Yes I got some factory tour photos coming soon. A friend of mine is in China right now at the Solar expo. They gave him a tour and allowed him to take photos of some of the things. Not all as some of it is proprietary equipment that gives them an edge in a very competitive market. 😉 👍
Justin, great choice on the Deye inverter. It does appear to be an excellent quality component. Your friends' inverter sounds like it's cooking itself from the inside out. I don't think it's going to last very long unfortunately. Great video Justin. Thank you. Cheers.
yes luckily his inverter is under warranty.
The Deye inverter we picked is very well built. you can buy them off the shelf to 50kW , Larger if you order them. They also make small and very large transformers. All commercial grade stuff. There is a Solar expo on in China and i have had a friend over there and he got an invite to go to the factory for a tour, I am waiting on the photos from him.
Hi Chris looks to be a nice day in wa. system looking good and is working well. Keep the video's coming 🎉
Thank you Rossco. yes both Sigi and i could not be more pleased with the system. Hopefully the solar man will be here on Monday to give me a quote. Maybe Hopefully 😉🤞
Nice Inverter, I love it.
Yes it's shaping up to be one of the best inverters i have ever had powering my home. 😉👍
Beautiful install.
Thank you! Not too hard to get it looking so good. Just have to plan it all out first
love the channel , nice system you have now
Thank you. Still a work in progress. But it's getting closer to being finished. 😉 🖖 👍
Just of interests sake, is the Deye the ...... Deye 5KW 5000W Hybrid Solar Inverter MPPT Charger Regulator 48V Low Voltage model
regards Rick
greenbanks.com.au/product/deye-hybrid-solar-inverter-8kw-single-phase-sun-8k-sg05lp1-au/ that is the one I use.
Hey Chris, glad she's performing admirably, yes my Sunny Boy is dead silent and doesn't even get very hot at 5kW, the Sunny Island has a fan which only comes on under heavy sustained high current charging, otherwise it is silent...top gear ! The Victron sounds like somethings vibrating inside...it needs a look at !🤠😎
He had his installer back mate. Apparently it's normal for them. Sounds to me like it's just expensive junk. 👍 🕵️
@@JustinCaseSolarPower Jeepers, if that's normal then, that's not for me !!! That would drive me further bonkers LOL 😭😲🤠
@@AndyM... My hope Victron see this video and ask for the mans name and address and sort this problem out. 👍
I could not live with that Inverta it would drive me crazy🤔 thanks for the updates
@MickelPascoe-of6ns Same mate. It's inexcusable to for it to make such a noise. Just really poor build quality 👍.
dang that inverter looks nice! I need a 60v one :D
My father in law just got a 12k solark I'm looking forward to setting it up.
Nice, Solar Ark have a good name. but I wanted fully enclosed unit to keep out the bugs / ants. Would also be good to keep condensation out. The ants are my biggest problem here, my friends in the tropics have to deal with humidity, You going to film the install ? LOL you know me I am a sucker for a good install video. 😂 😉 👍
@@JustinCaseSolarPower i think i just might do so :)

Q²
You have helped steer me away from Victron gear. Ive never heard an inverter make that sound before.
I was not impressed with the noise at all. Its the first time i hear a Victron working. I am also please i did not go with Victron 👍
Great!
Thank you my friend. Hope all is well. 😉✌ 👍
AC hum is normal in LV inverters as they do carry a large Transformer, another problem you be having is that hum resonating with some part of the actual housing of the inverter. You make need to dampen that, if it is the case. For your own peace of mind double check the connections and check for any loose wiring.
It is not normal for new well designed low frequency inverters to hum or buzz. Mostly the ones that do that are the ones made from bolt together steel sheet construction. The Deye is also a Low frequency inverter. it is made from heavy molded aluminium and the cover and inlets / outlets all have rubber seals. So they don't suffer from that vibration or dust and moisture problems you find in some low frequency inverters. I see the Victron gear is no longer on the federal approved list anymore anyway. So the quality and other problems there gear has only matters to the people that have them.
I don't think the Deye is a low frequency inverter, it doesn't have a large transformer@@JustinCaseSolarPower
@@Floyd112007 Yes it's low frequency. How to I know. I was told that from the importer and they weight of the unit. I have never had one apart to look inside but I will ask for some internal photos from Deye in China next time I am talking to them though, Just to confirm that fact.😉
Deye's a beast. It'll handle all your loads and then some. I also got four of those Chinese "powerwalls" powering my off-grid setup. I got them pretty cheap and I'm quite happy with them. Why waste money on those expensive Tesla powerwalls or LG systems?
I'll take prismatic cells over 18650 flashlight batteries any day. To much can go wrong with them.
The poor monitoring and lack of BLU Tooth or WIFI plug and play really annoys me with my MPPSOLAR inverters now granted they are 2018 tech and I am please with them other wise. But I agree on your point about monitoring and add ons eating you up.
I will not use victron because they are so so so expensive. I just do not see the point to go there on my budget.
I will likely go Hydro Electric on my next system since our winters are low sun and a whole lot of rain.
I like my solar but batteries are just so expensive as well.
Either way OFF GRID is the only way to go.
Jim
The new tech has made off grid easy. Lithium's charge so fast . We will see how well it does in heavy rain. So fare with heavy cloud it had done extremely good. 😉👍
You can use "solar assistant" to have beautiful realtime monitoring and stats even with cheap chineese inverter
yea my growatt needs a batter fan it.s to loud i saw a video some one putting in batter fans
Growatt is very cheaply made and have quite a few problems I found out in my research. I was thinking of installing 2 of them but for that price range I got a real inverter that Dose it all including load sharing with my 2.8kw generator, Justin case I ever need to charge these batteries a tad. I hope the Deye will last as long as the batteries do. I never want to work on this system again. Takes up to much time, and that is time Sigi and I could be in the Outback looking for top camping spots. 😉👍
The problem with the Deye (and I want one) is finding someone to do the grid connect and certify. Currently looking at a SUN-10K-SG04LP3-AU but haven't found an installer in Vic yet. It appears that Victron have dropped the certification for grid connect for the Multiplus range because of the new rule changes anyway.
It's good they don't use the noisy power Victron anymore. Ring George at green bank. Phone number is in the link greenbanks.com.au/ he may be able to help you. Me i just got installers here for quotes till i found one that had a clew about what he was doing. Still a lot of licenced cowboys out there.
Great video mate! Im planning to acquire a 12K 1p Deye hybrid. Do you think it can work with my existing Growatt ARK LV 25.6KWh 48v battery? Do you think the 12K deye can handle my 16KW ducted aircon plus some lights and power points in summer? I also want it to charge my battery ONLY in the night from grid, and/or btw 11 to 2pm from solar and grid due to the tariff. Do you think it's easy to achieve? Thanks alot! Your video is so helpful.
I have no idea. I got a list of all the batteries that are programmed into it, I will add at the end of my next video. Or you can ring whoever sold the unit to you. They should know. As for me, I just make videos. I sell nothing. Just test gear and make video and recommend what I test if it worked great for me. Will make a new video in a day or 2. Subscribe and ring the bell so you get a notification! Or check back in a day or 2 if you have not found out through the shop.
@@JustinCaseSolarPower Done subscription. I bought my Midea heat pump hotwater system last year after watching your video.
@@cclenergy3033Hope it works well. The unit we have is still working great, my wife and I love it. The timer not keeping its program when we shut the Solar system down for work is the only thing wrong with the unit. But they are so easy to program, it's not a big problem.
Uploading a video now with the information you need. Hope it works out for you, my friend.
@@JustinCaseSolarPower Thank you mate. Watching now.
Oh dear, I have a Victron that sounds the same. They need to get their shit together. 😒
Yes sad to say, I think they are just chasing the $$$ and forgetting to build gear that lasts and runs well. 👍😉
That victron has a problem its arking, that is the crackling sound you are hearing and even the AC hum does not sound normal at all. He should turn it off and check all of his connections again if it persist he should contact is dealers or the installers if he didn't do it himself.
Like i said in the Video, He has had the installer out there and he said its normal for the Victron's to make that noise. You can turn it anyway you like. The unit is still running and still making the noise. Poorly constructed inverter housing in the big cause. If the installer says its normal who am i to say he is wrong? after all he has installed more Victron inverters then i have probably seen.
Its because victron are low frequency , ie using transformers which last longer than high frequency inverters.
Mine is also Low Frequency inverter, ie using a transformer, There are many low frequency inverters on the market. I have used quite a few. The Victron in this video is the first one I have every heard making that sort of noise. I am not new to this, When I started doing solar you could only get low frequency inverters. There was no such thing as High frequency inverter. Afraid there is no excuse for poor build quality.
We use victron now as the chinese inverters don't last overall 30% failure rate for most of them past two years old. And customer service is not there , At least with victron you get support fan noise is not a real problem.
I have been offgrid in WA for over ten years and tested many products and have dropped in on your channel regularly solar power is evolving very fast now.But I must admit my old pip4048 is still on the wall as backup I believe chinese inveters being made at the moment are not to the same standard they use to be pre pandemic.
@@phillipmoore4492 I am not going in to how good they may have been. I considered Victron when looking to upgrade my system. Looking at forums and having problems myself with there MPPT charge controllers I quickly gave up on them. I emailed them lots of times on the problems and got no response. In the comments of this video I see another with the same inverter that has the same problems. They Need to sort this out. There is no need for low frequency inverters to make such a racket.
Greetings Justin from Zimbabwe in Africa, hope you’re well. Is your Deye 1 phase or 2 phase and is it grid tied or not? Looking to get one & fiddle around installing the CT Clamp so I don’t backfeed power into the grid as I’m on a prepaid meter that doesn’t allow it.
Here is a simple workaround. th-cam.com/video/-n81d4-R6Fw/w-d-xo.html otherwise you need to use the ct, so the inverter knows you're on grid, and you can then program it properly not to feed past the ct. Or to feed power past the ct to grid. I am 230vac single phase 50Hz. I am off grid. But I have a main inverter I use as a pretend grid to show people how things work.
@@JustinCaseSolarPowerthanks kindly for responding. Is your other unit a 5kw size? If it is do you ever have loads above 3Kw? Reason I ask is so as to know if fans ever kick in. I’d want to run a 3Kw induction cooktop off my inverter.
The 5kW unit I have used and abused in testing. I have overloaded it many times. It is air cooled, the 5kW unit I have. So no, it has not got any built in fans. However, due to the fact I have them mounted in a fully enclosed cabinet, I have fans mounted on that. As you can see in many videos. Very quiet household units.
Uploading a video has lots of things in it. It's a catch-up video. Should interest you. Also, sorry for the late reply on your last comment. Google (TH-cam) did not tell me you commented. I just happened to find it as I was doing a review or comments made.
So would you recommend the Deye for continuous offgrid use?.
I must have s 3-phase system.
(Will connect to EV 40kw battery)
Wich one will you recommend?.
My house has been off-grid for over 12 years now. The Deye have been running it 24/7 for the last 14 months with No problems at all. However, will it connect to a used, reconfigured car battery.

👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you
It looks like you also do not need all of the combiner boxes and junction boxes that I have had to BUY and Install as well as all the special breakers?
Did you have to purchase a Charge Controller as well? Or does the BMS for the new batteries take care of that?
Jim
How you would wire it is not the same as how i have had to wire the unit., We have very strict guidelines hear in Australia
@@JustinCaseSolarPower Ok so this inverter is an INVERTER/ChargeControler/ Battery Charger All in One? Jim
@@ChileExpatFamily Yes everything in one package. The 8kw unit i have will take 10.2 kw of solar total. We just love the unit Jim. Real game changer.👍
@@JustinCaseSolarPower You ARE THE BOSS!! Thanks Chris
@@ChileExpatFamily When it warms up outside Jim I will do a video for you latter today to explain my full system. How it is wired and why we did it that way, I will put in the Diagram of my solar layout. We did not put on any new solar just rewired it all to work on the inverter. After spending the $ on the new batteries and inverter and the electrician, we just did not have the $ to put in the new Solar panels at this stage. Maybe in a year or 2. But let me do a more comprehensive video for you. On our system. That will help you and give you a better understanding.
The Deye fans kick in on heavy load as well and you will hear them especially after about 2 years of use. But as I said that is only on heavy use and does not last very long. This is evident in 5k and up and is unavoidable on any inverter. If the Deye fans ever become to loud, just change them out.
yes all fans make noise as they age. the fans are on the back of the unit and very easy to change out. This summer when i have the inverter under heavy load from the house AC units we will be making another video just on that point. I am not new to solar or off grid. Been off grid many years now. I tell it how i see it. Right down the line. If you don't like my videos then don't watch them. Some people cant handle the truth even when its videoed by the owners of these things. So you do understand that right, The owner of that bit of rubbish noisy Victron inverter come to me for help after he had No joy from the installer or Victron. That unit was just 2 months old, and made that noise from new.
Hello sir, i am planning to acquire a very similar solar system, what kind of panels de you have and how many?
We have 7.5 kW of panels on the 8kW Deye and 3kW on the 5kW Deye. You will be seeing more of the smaller system when all the bits arrive here for me to finish its build. The brands of panels change over the years as my System has been built up by me over a few years. As we could afford it. It's a very much home built system, built to our needs.
👍
Thank you
👍👍
Thank you John 😊✌ 👍
Do you need to retrofit external ATS ?
You must be talking about Automatic transfer switch If you still connected to the grid. Simple answer is NO it will switch to batteries if you have enough charge in them or generator if the batteries are low then if grid comes back on it will switch back to grid. 'Like it says in the title of the Video (Power your Home) This system will do it all.
Justin deye inverters are high frequency so they do not have transformers as such , they are also not advisable for heavy inductive loads ..?? Am I right?
I am really wondering if the deye 16kw can run my pressure pump, iron, borehole, air conditioners, or are seye’s only good with light loads such as tvs fan fridges? I need help
No you are 100% wrong. The Deye inverter Starts the huge AC unit. It uses just over 3kW to run and you can easily doble that for its start up loads. I will also add that AC unit is more then likely older then you. So its Not new tech. You can see it plainly in the logs on my last video. If you watch the full video and don't skip through it th-cam.com/video/KoYOFjtVF6Q/w-d-xo.html . I am not telling you to buy one. Really I don't care what you buy or what batteries you use. IF you look at my videos you can see them installed on homes like mine and large working farms and many water pumps. Me I sell nothing at all. I am retired and have been for many years. I have also been Off-Grid and testing all sorts of solar equipment for many years. It's my hobby.
@@JustinCaseSolarPower thank you, bthe deye I just purchased is the 16kw single phase, so I wanted to sell off my low frequency 12kw Growatt , just wondering how reliable that particular unit is
@@nnodunnodu7914 Like i said all the units i know off are working great doing all sort of jobs, with no problems. Working that good that we just purchased The Deye SUN-5K-SG04LP1-AU for the next stage of the video series. Should be arriving in a week or 4. Hard to say with the shipping being what it is right now. 😒. Watch my last video my friend. Remember How i have the unit installed. For me it does everything we need it to do.
Yes it will run a bore pump. You can even buy 3phase units to run 3phase pumps welders and anything ells the requires Australia, 400 V officially, (but in practice often 415 V), 50 Hz . They are a low frequency inverter. Just ask George at Green Bank. 0447 447 554 or email him contact@greenbanks.com.au He knows fare more about them then I do. He sells and installs hundreds of units big and small , Single and Three Phase.
I don't think that noise is normal at all. I have never heard an inverter do that before even the really cheap modified sine ones.
As you can see blow it's not just one person. They have failed to help many with this problem I would think. These are the sorts of things Sigi and I took into consideration when looking for an inverter that would, Do everything in one package and last us 20+ years. We read a lot of forums and I went to the Yacht clubs and talks to lots of liveaboard cruisers.
"@LukeOHare • 1 day ago
Oh dear, I have a Victron that sounds the same. They need to get their shit together. 😒 "
I bought my 4kw Magnum inverter in 2009 and its dead silent even today. The only noise it makes is a slight fan hum when the inverter is in high powered grid charging mode which I only use that mode when we expecting a storm and I top up the batteries.
@NormanMcGregor exactly mate. Low Frequency inverters should not make any hums or vibrations at all. Apparently this is normal for Victron's. Glad i did not get one, that if for sure. 🙃👍
USE THE RUBBER FEET FOR THE HUM. Not a fan of Victron tho. One went up in black smoke!! Never again.
like i said in the Video. not my unit. Never have and never will own rubbish like that. They have been taken off the approved list as well
👍😀👍
RJ D Thank you mate. 🙃 🖖 👍
That's a very annoying sound. Probably failing slowly
All the Victron's make a hell of a noise. Victron tell them its normal for low frequency inverters to make that Noise. Well Its Not Normal, That noise is due to very poor construction of the inverter. ( poorly built case).
