Michael's Deye Inverters Review & Verdict

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

China's Deye has been manufacturing inverters since 2007 and has been selling them in Australia since 2021. 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.

Company Info

Deye has its headquarters in the city of Ningbo. This is 140km south of Shanghai in Zhejiang province. This is also where they do most of their manufacturing, but they also have a facility in Malaysia. The company was an early producer of hybrid inverters. These are used with home or business batteries and remain a special focus for the company. Deye says that by the end of 2025, they had produced over 5 million inverters, including 2 million hybrid ones.  But one of the reasons they've produced so many inverters is that, in addition to hybrid and string inverters - which are standard solar inverters, they also make microinverters, and as their name suggests, these can be quite small.

Deye also produces home batteries, and these have been sold here since 2024. They aren't currently installed in large numbers, but Deye says their presence will expand.

Deye Inverters In Australia

Deye has been a late arrival on the local scene, entering the Australian and New Zealand markets in 2022. In terms of Clean Energy Council approval, there were around 48 Deye single/three-phase string and hybrid inverters listed as of 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 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 units 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 provides a 10 year warranty in Australia, and the warranty document is available on their website.

I bought an 8kW solar system with the Deye inverter that allows the system to function "off-grid" in the the event of a power outage. I also got a 15kW battery system at the same time (also Deye)
My only regret was that I did not get more battery storage - the system produces over 40kW on a sunny day, so a lot of it went back to the grid for minimal return. I since expanded the battery storage to 30kW but unfortunately did not get a second bite of the rebate cherry for the additional batteries.
It's working very well, no issues apart from an initial configuration glitch which was soon rectified.

Manufacturer Reply

Thank you, Richard, for sharing such detailed feedback.

We’re pleased to hear that your Deye system is performing well and that the off-grid functionality has given you added confidence during power outages. It’s also great to know that expanding your battery storage has helped you make better use of your solar generation and reduce energy exported back to the grid.

We appreciate your patience regarding the initial configuration issue, and we’re glad it was resolved quickly. Thank you again for your trust and support - we’re delighted to be part of your energy journey.

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.
