Deye Solar & Battery System Shutdown and Restart
Use this procedure if you have a Deye hybrid inverter with battery storage and you need to shut down or restart your system.
Shut Down
1. Switch OFF the solar inverter AC supply
Next to where your inverter is located, there should be a small electrical board that looks like the below image.
Switch OFF the breakers clearly labelled for the inverter, which may include:
- GRID / AC / INVERTER AC
- LOAD / BACKUP / EPS
- GEN if fitted and connected
Do not switch off unrelated household breakers. Labels and installation layouts can vary.
2. Switch OFF the Deye inverter
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the inverter OFF.
Note: This is the inverter ON/OFF button, not the rotary DC/PV switch.
3. Switch OFF the battery
Switch OFF the battery DC breaker/isolator.
Then switch OFF the battery using its power button, if your battery has one.
4. Switch OFF the solar DC supply
Locate the DC switch on the side of the Deye inverter and turn it to OFF.
This is the rotary DC switch shown in the above image and is separate from the inverter ON/OFF button used in Step 2.
5. Wait 5 minutes
Leave the system OFF for at least 5 minutes before restarting.
Restart
1. Switch ON the AC breakers
Switch the relevant GRID, LOAD/BACKUP and GEN (if connected) AC breakers back ON.
2. Switch ON the solar and battery supplies
Turn the black rotary DC switch on the Deye inverter to ON. This controls the solar PV input.
Switch the battery DC breaker/isolator to ON.
Switch the battery power button ON, if fitted.
3. Switch ON the inverter
Press the ON/OFF button on the Deye inverter to switch the inverter ON.
4. Allow the system to restart
Allow several minutes for the Deye inverter, battery and grid connection to initialise.
The inverter should return to normal operation automatically once its startup and grid checks have completed.
Important Safety Information
Only operate clearly identified external switches, breakers and controls.
Do not open the inverter, battery or electrical enclosures. Do not disconnect PV or battery cables.
If you cannot clearly identify a switch or breaker, stop and contact Sol Viva for assistance.
If there is smoke, fire, sparking, a burning smell, unusual heat, damaged equipment or water entering electrical equipment, do not use this reset procedure. Keep away from the equipment and contact the emergency services where appropriate.
Solar panels can continue producing DC electricity whenever exposed to daylight, even when the inverter has been switched off.
Example images shown on this page are for identification purposes only. Your installation and labelling may differ.
Still Having Problems?
If your Deye system does not return to normal operation after the restart, do not repeatedly reset it.
Contact Sol Viva and send us:
- A photograph of the Deye inverter display.
- The fault/error code shown.
- A photograph of the battery.
- A brief description of what happened before the fault occurred.
- This will help us diagnose the problem and advise you on the next step.
Note: Deye produces several inverter and battery configurations. This guide is intended as a general customer procedure for Deye hybrid solar and battery systems. Where the equipment manufacturer's instructions or the system-specific instructions supplied with your installation differ, those instructions should be followed
