Frequently Asked Questions

How many solar panels can I connect to the Deye SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2?

The Deye SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 has 2 MPPT tracker(s), each supporting 2 input string(s). The exact panel count per string depends on your panel's Voc relative to the MPPT range 160–650 V. Use the matcher above to find the optimal configuration automatically.

What is the MPPT voltage range of the Deye SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2?

The Deye SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 MPPT accepts DC voltages between 160 V and 650 V. At summer temperatures, the string Vmpp must stay above 160 V. At winter temperatures, the string Voc must not exceed the absolute DC limit of 800 V. The matcher calculates these temperature-adjusted checks automatically.

Is the Deye SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 compatible with all solar panel brands?

Yes — the Deye SUN-18K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 is compatible with any solar panel brand as long as the string voltage and current stay within its electrical limits. Panel brand does not affect compatibility. What matters is that the string Voc at coldest temperature stays below 800 V, Vmpp stays within 160–650 V, and total current stays below 54 A.
