Deye 6KW Grid-tied Single Phase String Inverter 2 MPPT SUN-6K-G05P1-AU-AM2

Deye SUN-6K-G05P1-AU-AM2 | 6kW Grid-Tied Single Phase String Inverter · 2 MPPT

6kW that starts earlier, runs longer, and wastes almost nothing

The Deye SUN-6K-G05P1-AU-AM2 is a 6kW single-phase string inverter built for the kind of roofs NZ homes actually have not the perfect south-facing (or north-facing, depending where you are) plane from a textbook, but the real ones with two orientations, a bit of shading, and panels that don’t all face the same way. Dual MPPT tracks each string independently, a remarkably low 80V start-up voltage catches the first morning light and the last evening rays, and 97.5% peak efficiency means almost nothing is lost between your panels and your switchboard.

At 7.7kg and a footprint smaller than a shoebox, it mounts anywhere and disappears into the install.

Dual MPPT two trackers for real-world roofs

Two independent Maximum Power Point Trackers (1+1 strings) let you split your array across different roof faces, tilt angles, or orientations and each string runs at its own optimum without dragging the other down.

That matters because most NZ homes don’t have a single perfect roof plane. You might have panels on the north and west, or a mix of pitches, or partial shading on one section. Dual MPPT handles all of that without the efficiency penalty a single-tracker system would impose.

80V start-up first light to last light

Most inverters wait for a higher voltage before they switch on. The SUN-6K-G05P1-AU-AM2 wakes at just 80V, which means it starts generating earlier in the morning and keeps converting later into the evening. Over a year of NZ days especially the short winter ones those extra minutes at each end of the day add up to meaningful extra generation.

9kW PV input room to oversize

The inverter accepts up to 9kW of solar panel input (1.5× its 6kW AC rating), with a wide MPPT voltage range of 70–500V and a maximum PV voltage of 550V. That oversizing headroom lets you install more panels than the inverter’s AC output, which captures more energy during the morning, evening, and cloudy periods when panels produce below their rated power a standard strategy for maximising annual yield from a residential system.

97.5% maximum efficiency

At 97.5% peak efficiency (97.0% Euro, >99% MPPT), the SUN-6K-G05P1-AU-AM2 converts almost all of your solar DC into grid-ready AC. For a residential inverter, that’s a strong number — and over 25 years of daily operation, even half a percentage point of efficiency difference translates to a real amount of energy and savings.

Export control and grid intelligence

The inverter includes Zero Export capability, letting you keep all your solar generation inside the house rather than exporting to the grid — useful when buy-back rates aren’t worth the export, or when your lines company restricts feed-in. VSG (Virtual Synchronous Generator) support helps the inverter interact smoothly with the grid under varying conditions.

You decide how your energy flows: use it all at home, export the surplus, or lock exports to zero. The system adapts to your preference.

Smart protection and monitoring

• Optional Anti-PID function — protects your panels against Potential Induced Degradation, a gradual power loss that can affect panels over time, especially in humid conditions
• Optional string-level intelligent monitoring — track performance down to each individual string, catching faults or underperformance early
• Built-in protections — overcurrent, overvoltage, short-circuit, ground fault, and anti-islanding as standard

Compact, light, and easy to install

At 7.7kg and just 305 × 280 × 180mm, the SUN-6K-G05P1-AU-AM2 is one of the lightest and most compact 6kW inverters on the market. It mounts cleanly on a garage wall, beside the switchboard, or in a utility cupboard no reinforcement, no bulk, no drama.

Specifications
