Deye 5KW Inverter Fault Codes – Click Here
Shutting power down to the Deye inverter in the event of a fault.
1st priority power of the system is always the PV power, then 2nd and 3rd priority power will be the battery bank or grid according to the settings. The last power backup will be the Generator if it is available.
If any of the fault messages listed in the fault codes table appear on your inverter and the fault has not been removed after restarting, please contact your local dealer or service center.

Mounting Instructions
The Deye 5KW Hybrid inverter is designed for outdoor use (IP65), Please make sure the installation site
meets below conditions:
- Not in direct sunlight
- Not in areas where highly flammable materials are stored.
- Not in potential explosive areas
- Not in the cool air directly.
- Not near the television Antenna or antenna cable.
- Not higher than altitude of about 2000 meters above sea level.
- Not in environment of precipitation or humidity (>95%)
Considering the following points before selecting where to install the Deye 5KW Hybrid Inverter:
- Please select a vertical wall with load-bearing capacity for installation, suitable for installation on concrete or other non-flammable surfaces, installation is shown below.
- Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display to be read at all times.
- The ambient temperature should be between -25~60C to ensure optimal operation.
- Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the diagram to guarantee sufficient
heat dissipation and have enough space for removing wires. - For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approximately. 50cm to the side and
- approx. 50cm above and below the unit. And 100cm to the front.
Mounting the inverter
- Remember that this inverter is heavy! Please be careful when lifting out from the package.
- Choose the recommend drill head (as shown in below pic) to drill 4 holes on the wall, 52-60mm deep.
Battery Connection
For safe operation and compliance, a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device is
required between the battery and the Deye 5KW Hybrid inverter. In some applications, a dis-connector or switching devices may not
be required but over-current protectors are still required.
Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
- Please choose a suitable battery cable with correct connector which can well fit into the battery terminals
- Use a suitable screwdriver to unscrew the bolts and fit the battery connectors in, then fasten the bolt by the screwdriver, make sure the bolts are tightened with torque of 5.2 N.M.
- Nm in clockwise direction, make sure polarity at both the battery and inverter is correctly connected.
- To insure the inverter connector is fasten to waterproof position by twisting it clockwise.
Ac Connection - Grid and Backup
- Before connecting to grid, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and grid. Also, it is recommended that installs an AC breaker between backup load and inverter.This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current.
- For the 3.6/5KW model, the recommended AC breaker for backup load is 32A/40A.
- Before making Grid, load and Gen port connection, be sure to turn off AC baeaker or disconnector first.
- Remove insulation sleeve 10mm length, unscrew the bolts, insert the wires according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten the terminal screws. Make sure the connection is complete.
- For the 3.6/5KW model, the recommended AC breaker for grid is 40A.
- There are three terminal blocks with “Grid” “Load”and “GEN” markings. Please do not mis-connect input and output connectors.
- Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten
terminal. Be sure to connect corresponding N wires and PE wires to related terminals as well. - Make sure the wires are securely connected.
- Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2-3 minutes to restart because it is
required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuit. If a power shortage
occurs and recovers in short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check manufacturer of air conditioner if it is equipped with time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this inverter will trigger overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.
PV - Panel Connections
Install a PV Combiner / Protection box between the Deye 5kw inverter and PV modules. It is very important for system safety and efficient operation
Use appropriate cable for PV module connections – Use 4mm – 6mm solar cable.
When selecting PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:
- Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter.
- Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. start voltage.
5KW PV Input voltage ranges ranges
- PV Input Voltage : 100V – 500V
- PV Array MPPT Voltage Range : 125V – 425V
- There are 2 MPPT trackers 1 string can be connected per MPPT.
