Hi everyone Hate to break it to you all, but I have the following: 5kw Deye Hybrid inverter 2 x 5kw Deye batteries 20 x 550W JA panels. 10 per string, east and north facing. each string is just below the specs of the VOC. the MPPT is clearly doing its job by stopping the current from the panels from coming in. My system has been running like this for 2 months and we are essentially off grid as we have switched off eskom. My system has not once read an error message, except when we accidentally have more appliances on at the same time and then it shuts off if we don’t run quick enough (when the geyser timer kicks in) We have achieved exactly what @Niel Kotze wants to achieve, having more power from earlier in the morning till later in the afternoons. Its called a hybrid inverter and is doing its job by managing the feed, which is why we pay so much money for these inverters vs other junk out there. I will gladly give you all the stats to prove it. It’s just important to stay within the VOC per string. The panels have a label that tells you how much and multiply it by the panel count and ensure it’s just below the amount the inverter says, in my case 41.2 x 10 =412 which is less than 425VOC as per Deye label. The rest is ‘irrelevant’ to this conversation.
