EEVblog 1620 – Deye Solar Hybrid Inverter EXTREME TEARDOWN
Extreme teardown of the Deye SUN-5K-SG04LP1 5kW hybrid solar inverter.
Will it contain the quality components claimed?
Also a topology reverse engineering of all the stages.
Hi-Res photos:
00:00 – A generous and coincidental donation from a viewer
00:37 – We have the brochure, let’s check the claims!
02:44 – Front panel PCB
03:46 – The gigantic heatsink
04:44 – Nippon Chemi-Con Capacitors? REALLY?
05:54 – Heatsunk and potted inductors and transformer teardown
10:19 – Main PCB’s and the confusing layout
12:53 – The fused battery input
13:37 – Are the MOSFET’s and IGBT’s as advertised?
15:10 – SMD high current links for PnP benefits
