Deye rolled out its SUN-80K-SG02HP3 series hybrid inverter and GE-F128/ F240/ F256 series BESS for conventional and large-scale C&I applications, respectively
Additionally, the company showcased WS-L4300 and WS-G2000 series C&I storage systems, primarily designed for grid ancillary services
The company also promoted its AC-coupled SUN-12K-SG05LP3 series hybrid inverter for residential prosumers
Ningbo Deye Technology Co., Ltd., a provider of PV inverters and storage solutions, showcased its latest portfolio at the Solar & Storage Live Africa 2026 exhibition in Johannesburg, South Africa.
For commercial and industrial (C&I) solar-plus-storage use cases, the company promoted the SUN-80K-SG02HP3 series 3-phase hybrid inverter. This inverter comprises 6 MPPT channels, each with a maximum current rating of 18 A. However, the company didn’t disclose the inverter’s DC/AC overcapacity figures.
On the storage side, it features 2 battery ports, each supporting battery banks with a charging/discharging current of up to 80 A. These individual ports enable 2 separate battery stacks to be connected in parallel, offering capacity flexibility to African C&I prosumers. Besides, unlike a centralized battery management system (BMS), each stack has a built-in BMS that monitors and controls charging/discharging in real time, improving system reliability as a result.
For emergency operations, typically during grid outages, the system provides a stable backup of up to 20 kW for a limited duration. It can also deliver 110% of its rated AC capacity for a short duration, when required, ensuring uninterrupted operation of a few dedicated inductive C&I loads that require high starting current.
The company also showcased its GE-F128/ F240/ F256 series battery energy storage system (BESS), aimed at the country’s large-scale C&I applications. The BESS combines battery packs and an inverter on a single platform. Without sharing many details about the product, the company says the ‘all-in-one' storage system is embedded with an energy management system (EMS). Upon receiving real-time feedback from battery stacks, inverters, and consumer demands, it optimizes energy dispatch or battery charging. The company attributes it to multi-level charge/discharge balancing across battery cells, packs, and racks. In terms of safety and protection, it prevents electrical malfunction and thermal runaway. The system also maintains operational temperature within a pre-defined limit by incorporating a controlled ventilation mechanism. In addition, its integrated fire-suppression function prevents the spread of fire.
Complementing these C&I storage systems, the company promoted its WS-L4300 and WS-G2000 systems, targeting grid ancillary services. These services are grid stability support and large-scale renewable energy (RE) integration, among others.
Deye also introduced its SUN-12K-SG05LP3 series hybrid inverter, combined with the SE-F12 battery pack in an AC-coupled configuration for African residential prosumers.
The commercialization details of these showcased products were unknown at the time of this article’s publication.
