Deye SUN-8K-SG05LP1-EU-AM2-P - 8 kW / 8000 W (1-phase) hybrid inverter

The Deye SUN-8K-SG05LP1-EU-AM2-P is a high-performance, single-phase hybrid inverter, specially developed to meet the requirements of modern households with high energy demands. With an impressive rated output power of 8 kW it is one of the most powerful single-phase units in its class and enables comprehensive optimisation of self-consumption as well as a seamless emergency power supply.

The "P" series is intended for use with high-current PV modules optimised. Thanks to an increased input current of up to 26 A per MPPT, state-of-the-art solar panels with large cell formats and high yields can be efficiently integrated. As a low-voltage hybrid, the device operates with 48 V batteries combined, allowing for flexible and cost-effective scaling of the storage system.

Highlights at a glance

• Impressive 8 kW single-phase power: Ideal for households with high loads that require strong single-phase protection or high charging power for batteries.
• High-current PV inputs (26 A): Perfectly matched to the latest generation of high-performance modules to maximise solar yields.
• 48 V low-voltage system: Fully compatible with a wide range of affordable and modularly expandable 48 V battery storage systems (e.g. LiFePO4 from Deye or Pylontech).
• High charging/discharging current (190 A): Enables rapid charging of large storage capacities and the powering of energy-intensive devices directly from the battery.
• Genuine emergency power output (UPS): Switches to island mode in less than 4 ms in the event of a mains failure, ensuring that even sensitive electronics are protected without interruption.
• 2 MPPT trackers: Offers flexibility in roof coverage and optimises yield for different orientations or partial shading.
• Smart Load & AC-Coupling: Surplus energy can be specifically used for consumers such as heat pumps; furthermore, existing inverters can be easily integrated.

Areas of application

• Large detached houses
  • Maximising self-sufficiency by combining high PV output with large, cost-effective 48 V storage systems.
• Backup & stand-alone solutions
  • Thanks to its high output of 8 kW, it is ideally suited for off-grid systems or for providing full backup during critical periods in regions with an unstable grid.
• Retrofit
  • Can be installed in parallel with existing solar systems via AC coupling to enhance them with a high-performance storage function.

Installation & safety instructions

• Battery wiring
  • Due to the 48 V technology and currents of up to 190 A, large cable cross-sections (e.g. 2x 50 mm² or 70 mm²) and high-quality DC fuses are absolutely essential.
• Ventilation
  • The device is equipped with active fan cooling. Install the inverter in a cool, well-ventilated location and observe the specified minimum clearances.
• Phase balancing
  • When operating on a 3-phase mains supply (e.g. Germany), a smart meter is required at the grid connection point to mathematically balance the consumption of all phases (balancing).

FAQs for the Deye SUN-8K-SG05LP1-EU-AM2-P

Can I operate a heat pump with this device?

Yes, no problem. Thanks to the high output power of 8 kW and the Smart Load function, the inverter can be configured to prioritise supplying the heat pump with surplus solar energy.

Is operation without a battery possible?

Yes, the device also starts without storage. The inverter can be used as a pure PV inverter. A 48 V storage unit can be added later at any time via plug-and-play to increase self-consumption.

Does the device support zero feed-in?
