Configurable three-phase Deye storage kit
Hybrid inverter from 8kW to 20kW + SE-F16 batteries from 16kWh to 64kWh
Complete DC side included: Victron Lynx busbar, MEGA fuses, cables and lugs
A low-voltage three-phase storage kit that arrives ready to wire. You pick the inverter, the battery version and how many batteries you want, and the whole DC side comes sized for that exact configuration. No shopping list to rebuild from the manual: busbar, fuses, cables and lugs all change with the configuration you choose, following what the Deye manual requires on conductor cross-sections and on the protection between battery and inverter.
What you choose
- Inverter — Deye SUN-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 three-phase, 2 MPPT, 48V battery, backup on all three phases, IP65, CEI 0-21. Seven sizes: 8kW, 10kW, 14kW, 15kW, 16kW, 18kW, 20kW.
- Battery — Deye SE-F16, 16kWh LiFePO4 51.2V 314Ah, up to 32 units in parallel. Two versions: standard Version C, IP21, indoor installation only, or Max-H heated, IP65, with internal cell heating for cold or unheated rooms.
- Number of batteries — 1 to 4, that is 16kWh to 64kWh of storage. The 14kW to 20kW inverters need at least 2 batteries: a single SE-F16 delivers 230A, less than the battery current of these sizes.
Always in the box
- 1 Deye three-phase hybrid inverter in the size you chose
- 1 to 4 Deye SE-F16 batteries in the version you chose, each with its own 1000mm power cables
- Victron Lynx Distributor busbar with 4 fuse positions (one or two units depending on the configuration). The fuse status LEDs only light up if the Lynx gets 5V power via RJ10 from a Lynx Shunt VE.Can or a Lynx Smart BMS, not included in the kit
- Victron MEGA fuse 80V: one per battery and one per inverter cable pair, plus filler fuses in the free positions, because Victron requires all 4 positions of every Lynx Distributor to be filled
- 1m inverter-to-busbar cables with lugs, in the cross-section Deye specifies for that inverter size
Why a fused busbar instead of a straight parallel: with two or more batteries, paralleling straight onto the inverter terminals leaves each branch without selective protection and makes the cable runs unequal. With the Lynx Distributor every battery gets its own fuse, the LED shows an open fuse (with a Lynx Shunt VE.Can or Lynx Smart BMS connected), and all branches stay the same length, so current shares out the way it should.
How the DC side changes with the configuration
The 8kW and 10kW sizes have a single battery input (one positive, one negative); the 14kW to 20kW sizes have two, so they are wired with two cable pairs.
| Inverter | 1 battery | 2 batteries | 3 batteries | 4 batteries |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8kW, 10kW 1 battery input |
No busbar: battery wired straight to the inverter with an in-line fuse holder and a 250A MEGA fuse | 1 Lynx Distributor, 4 fuses (3 + 1 filler), 1 pair of 70mm² cables | 1 Lynx Distributor, 4 fuses, 1 pair of 70mm² cables | 2 Lynx Distributors side by side, 8 fuses (5 + 3 filler), 1 pair of 70mm² cables |
| 14kW, 15kW, 16kW 2 battery inputs |
Not allowed: a single SE-F16 delivers 230A, less than the inverter battery current. Choose at least 2 batteries | 1 Lynx Distributor, 4 fuses, 2 pairs of 50mm² cables | 2 Lynx Distributors, 8 fuses (5 + 3 filler), 2 pairs of 50mm² cables | 2 Lynx Distributors, 8 fuses (6 + 2 filler), 2 pairs of 50mm² cables |
| 18kW, 20kW 2 battery inputs |
Not allowed: a single SE-F16 delivers 230A, less than the inverter battery current. Choose at least 2 batteries | 1 Lynx Distributor, 4 fuses, 2 pairs of 70mm² cables | 2 Lynx Distributors, 8 fuses (5 + 3 filler), 2 pairs of 70mm² cables | 2 Lynx Distributors, 8 fuses (6 + 2 filler), 2 pairs of 70mm² cables |
The Lynx Distributor has four fuse positions: once batteries plus inverter cable pairs go past four, a second unit is bolted to the first on the internal bars. Victron requires every fuse position to be filled: free positions get a filler MEGA fuse, already included. The Lynx Distributor is IP22: install it indoors or inside an enclosure, even when the batteries are outdoor Max-H units.
Cross-sections and currents
| Inverter | Power | Battery inputs | Battery current | Inverter-to-busbar cables |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SUN-8K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 8kW | 1 | 190A | 1 pair 70mm² |
| SUN-10K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 10kW | 1 | 210A | 1 pair 70mm² |
| SUN-14K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 14kW | 2 | 260A | 2 pairs 50mm² |
| SUN-15K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 15kW | 2 | 280A | 2 pairs 50mm² |
| SUN-16K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 16kW | 2 | 300A | 2 pairs 50mm² |
| SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 18kW | 2 | 330A | 2 pairs 70mm² |
| SUN-20K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 | 20kW | 2 | 350A | 2 pairs 70mm² |
Cross-sections per the Deye SG05LP3 manual: 50mm² for 14kW, 15kW and 16kW, 70mm² for 18kW and 20kW. M8 terminals, 24.5Nm torque. The SE-F16 battery needs 50mm² minimum and ships with its own 1000mm cables.
SE-F16 battery
| Nominal energy | 16kWh per unit |
| Nominal voltage | 51.2V |
| Capacity | 314Ah |
| Chemistry | LiFePO4 |
| Continuous discharge | 230A |
| Continuous charge | 160A per battery: with 1 or 2 batteries the charge current is limited by the batteries and stays below the inverter maximum |
| Protection rating | Version C: IP21, indoor installation only. Max-H: IP65, outdoor installation allowed |
| Maximum parallel | up to 32 units |
| Version C / Max-H | the Max-H heats its cells internally: choose it for garages, basements, unheated plant rooms and cold climates |
Sizing the storage
| Batteries | Energy | Discharge current available | Typical pairing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 16kWh | 230A | 8kW, 10kW only |
| 2 | 32kWh | 460A | 10kW to 20kW |
| 3 | 48kWh | 690A | 15kW to 20kW, extended autonomy |
| 4 | 64kWh | 920A | 15kW to 20kW, commercial loads |
Still to design around it: this kit covers everything between the batteries and the inverter. The DC array combiner, the AC board with its protections and RCD, the earthing, the export meter and any PV modules remain part of the wider design. We can quote those too: send us the configuration and you get a complete offer back.
