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.

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.

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.
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.
