Deye SUN-18K-G04 String Inverter 18kW Three-Phase 2 MPPT CEI 0-21 IP65
The Deye SUN-18K-G04 string inverter is a three-phase 18kW grid-tie unit suited to warehouses, farms, apartment blocks and commercial users with a three-phase meter. It has 2 MPPTs with three strings each and up to 26A per tracker, so large-format half-cell modules fit without derating the inputs; the 200-850V MPPT range and 1000V maximum voltage leave freedom in string sizing up to 23.4kW of PV power.
Maximum efficiency is 98.6% (97.8% European), noise stays below 40 dB and night consumption below 1W. An IP65 enclosure, smart cooling and a weight of 20.8 kg allow wall mounting outdoors too. It is declared compliant with CEI 0-21, EN 50549-1 and VDE-AR-N 4105 and integrates with Deye loggers and meters for zero export and with the SUN-XL02 optimisers on shaded roofs.
