Michael's Deye Inverters Review & Verdict

Michael Bloch covers the latest developments in home electrification for SolarQuotes.

China's Deye has been manufacturing inverters for getting close to 20 years now, but its only been in the last few years their products have been available in Australia. In early 2025, the company told us it was confident Deye will become one of the top three players in the Australian market within the next three years. We'll see.

Deye Inverters: Pros & Cons

  • Well-established company
  • Wide range of products - string, hybrid and micro inverters
  • No Australian office
  • Couldn't locate AU warranty documentation

About Deye

Company Info

Deye was founded in 2007 and these days, hybrid inverters are a special focus for the company. Deye claims it exported more than 600,000 hybrid inverters in 2024 - four times more than the second-largest supplier - and states it is second in both sales revenue and market capitalization, just behind China's Sungrow. But as well as hybrid units, the company manufacturers string and micro inverters

Deye Inverters In Australia

Deye has been a late arrival on the local scene, entering the Australian and New Zealand markets in 2022, but says its 2024 sales here increased fivefold compared to 2023. In terms of Clean Energy Council approval, there were around 48 Deye single/three phase string and hybrid inverters listed as at March 2025.

Microinverters

Deye microinverters offer capacities ranging from 300W to 2.25 kW. The upper end blurs the line between string and micro, and can support up to 4 solar panels.  However, no Deye microinverters are currently listed by the CEC.

String Inverters

Deye single phase string inverters are available in power ranges from 1.5-10.5kW, with single or dual maximum power power point tracking (MPPT). Deye three-phase string inverters have capacities ranging from 3kW to 15kW in what would be considered their residential range. The three-phase models in these capacities all have dual MPPT. 

Hybrid Inverters

Deye hybrid inverters available here include single phase 3-16kW units and three-phase in the 8-50kW range. All single phase hybrids have two MPPTs and support low-voltage batteries, while for the three-phase devices, there are 2 - 4 MPPTs and (compatible) low- or high-voltage batteries are supported depending on the model.  Deye hybrid inverters are compatible with selected battery models from dozens of brands, including Pylon, Jinko, Fox ESS and Dyness.

Warranty Details

Deye appears to offer a 10 year warranty on all its inverters installed in Australia. But the only current warranty document with further details we've sighted excludes Australia, so we've contacted the firm to ask about this.

As part of adding batteries to the existing system, the new Deye inverter replaced my previous GoodWe inverter as the GoodWe wasn't a hybrid inverter, so wasn't suitable for use with batteries.

I really love that I have the ability to work the inverter remotely and shut off grid feed in during negative pricing. I had initially wanted to use Amber Smart Shift but in hindsight think that running it manually offers more peace of mind, not to mention that it is sort of fun.

Our installer has been great at supporting this. But I would emphasise you need a great installer to support. Deye are China based. We’ve had a few settings change without our knowledge, and more transparency around what’s going on with it would be good. But the unit is fantastic for anyone constrained by single phase electricity but has big energy needs,

A top tip as well is to get your installer to change the frequency of monitoring. By default, it logs only every 5 minutes which is not enough when you’re trying to maximise your solar use and dealing with partly cloudy days. It can be increased to 1 minute, which works pretty well once you get your eye in and know how your panels and loads are working. Would also recommend a Catch Solar relay to help in this regard as they provide live monitoring.

Has an app - can monitor remotely - can be diagnosed by Deye engineer for setup advice diagnosis trouble shooting etc. Proved really helpful.

Would like to see the app become more user friendly for the off grid system - has a lot of options for monitoring power and $ rates when selling to the grid.
