Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 – 20 kW three-phase low-voltage (48 V) hybrid inverter for larger residential and small commercial systems
The Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 (SUN-20K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2) is a 20 kW rated power, three-phase, low-voltage (48 V) hybrid inverter, the highest-power member of the SG05LP3-EU-SM2 (14–20 kW) series. Thanks to its robust, transformer-isolated design, it is compatible with the most common 48 V batteries (lithium-ion or lead-acid), while the 2 independent MPPTs optimize generation even on roofs with different orientations. It combines on-grid and off-grid operation in a single unit, making it ideal for larger family homes, farms, and small businesses energy supply.
Why choose the Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 inverter?
The Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 inverter operates with up to 97.6% maximum and >99% MPPT efficiency, with low, <3% harmonic distortion (THD). During the day, solar energy first supplies the loads, with the surplus charging the battery and feeding into the grid; in case of power outage, the inverter automatically switches to battery operation. The 100% unbalanced output adapts to different loads per phase, and in off-grid mode the inverter can deliver twice the rated power for 10 seconds, enabling high-inrush equipment to start. The series’ highest, up to 350 A charge/discharge current ensures fast battery charging and strong discharge performance.

Applications
The Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 inverter is ideal for larger, three-phase energy-demand residential and small commercial projects: large family homes, farms, and small businesses where flexible and reliable energy management is needed with 48 V battery storage. It helps maximize self- consumption, acts as a backup power source during power outages, and with 6 programmable charge/discharge periods enables off-peak charging and peak-time discharge. Thanks to AC-coupled expandability, existing solar systems can also be retrofitted with storage.

Frequently asked questions about the Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 inverter
What does the SUN-20K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 designation mean?
The “20K” refers to the 20 kW rated power, the “SG05LP3” to the three-phase, low-voltage (48 V battery) hybrid platform; the 20 kW is the highest member of the 14–20 kW sub-series.
What is the difference between the SUN-15K and SUN-20K SG05LP3?
Both models are built on the same platform; the main difference is the rated power (15 kW vs 20 kW), the corresponding AC current, the higher PV input power, and the maximum charge/discharge current (280 A vs 350 A).
What battery does the Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 work with?
It is compatible with the most common 48 V (40–60 V) batteries, whether lithium-ion or lead-acid, with up to 350 A charge/discharge current – the series’ highest current rating.
Can the Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 be installed outdoors?
Yes, thanks to IP65 protection and intelligent air cooling, it is suitable for outdoor installation, with an operating temperature range of −40 to +60 °C (>45 °C above with derating).
