Deye 6 kW is the most common hybrid inverter rating for a private house. Two models are in stock, and the choice between them is decided by supply type rather than power: SUN-6K-SG05LP1-EU for a 220 V single-phase grid, and SUN-6K-SG04LP3-EU for a 380 V three-phase supply. A single-phase inverter cannot be fitted to a three-phase supply or vice versa — without a phase match the protection will not permit grid synchronisation.
Both are low-voltage units running on a 48 V battery (51.2 V LiFePO4 nominal). The panel array can reach 7.8 kW, up to 130% of the inverter rating: 11–14 panels at 550 W, or 14–18 at 430 W. Oversizing the array is standard practice — it offsets losses from heat, soiling and off-perpendicular sun angles. The string limit comes from the MPPT voltage window: combined Voc at −10 °C must stay below the maximum DC voltage.
6 kW covers a refrigerator, lighting, a pump station, a boiler and general appliances running together. What needs separate calculation is equipment with high inrush current: a borehole pump on direct-on-line starting, a welder, an electric hob. For motors, size against inrush current, which runs 3–7 times the rated figure.
