This looks fake to me, I know the OEM to be Hager not TOMZN. Moreso, the model has failed multiple times at currents greater than 40A.
I recommend you use the MTS MCB as attached below if your load is going be more than 32A. This has an internal mechanical interlock that switches off the common load when you switch on the backup load and vice-versa.

This is fake, small Chint 2p terminal block ends at 63A, Big Terminal Block are in 100A & 125A rating. See attached pictures. Take note of the CHNT engraved on the body.

One of the reasons I stayed stuck with Deye.

Dam5reey1:
Deye na better Soup oo..

Efficiency 97% DC to AC conversion stop wasting unnecessary power in conversion. Even 5kwh batteries will last very well.

1750/1800

If you have 5kwh batteries, this will mean you can use 4850wh on the AC side compared to most inverter with 87%, which gives on 4350wh.. a whole 500wh saved..

It is what it is bro, there is a gang of people on this thread that are hell bent on reporting you and your post once it goes contrary to their opinions or exposes their false claims.
They did it to me severally and I have decided to be just a reader on this thread after the event of three weeks ago when I posted a link to where people can verify Who is Who in Deye Distributorship Categories. I was banned for three days straight and investigations revealed that my posts were being mass reported.

I have also decided to post adverts when I have any, because it seems that's the only posts that doesn't get reported here. Criticisms and counter opinions lands you in the banning basket.

So if anyone finds him or herself in that situation, please don't take it seriously, don't take it personal. Just move on with more productive activities elsewhere.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 AND SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU

For those who cares to know.

1. Casing mold: It is far cheaper to mold the casing of SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 which is part fiber plastics than that of SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU which is full metal casing.
2. Max PV Input Power is 9600W for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 7800W for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (MPPT components upgrade)
3. Max PV Input Short-Circuit Current is 27A+27A for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 17A+17A for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (MPPT components upgrade).
4. Max Operating PV Input Current is 18A+18A for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 13A+13A for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (MPPT components upgrade).
5. Max. AC Output Power is 6000W for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 6600W for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (AC Circuit Components modified due to regional restriction)
7. Rated Operating Frequency is 50Hz / 60Hz for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 while SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU 50Hz/45Hz-55Hz and 60Hz/55Hz-65Hz (AC Circuit Components modified due to regional restriction)
8. Gird Input Current is 35A for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 40A for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (AC Circuit Components modified due to regional restriction)
9, Safety EMC/Standard also varied in terms radiation due to the changed casing. Thereby restricting SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 to residential usage, but you and I know that we don't care in Africa.
10, SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 has been fitted with diodes to prevent Inverter Back feed Current to the PV Array, SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU doesn't have this.
11, SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 is way cheaper because budget friendly components were used to manufacture it as compared to SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU and this accounts for the stiffer regional restriction for the SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 model.

You can add to the list.

Well I might be wrong but according to Deye, "there is a difference between Regular Resellers and Distributors"
Let me break it down further,

Regular reseller authorization is an authorization that allows you to walk in and buy the range of products you can are categorized under and resell such product in your region and there is no legal binding that you can ship back items you could not sell due to damages, over stocking or end of life scenarios, etc. Products you buy will be tested and certified before shipping, thus the reason why you have to pay for hardware components replacements. and the list goes on.

While a Distributor Authorization has and extensive process after which when you are authorized, you have access to a lot of things, eg.:
You must have an Exclusively Deye Branded Outlet.
This outlet is going to be a point of presence for Deye, after sales service center for Deye in your region.
Deye will ship and stock all categories of their products (according to your region) and retrieve or redirect them to other regions at will when demands falls short in such regions.
You will not distribute or resell competitors products in the same outlet or using the same Business Name.
You will not rebrand or modify any of their products that you are supposed to be distributing.
Deye will deploy departmental heads of staff to your outlet to run the Outlet for a stipulated number of years to achieve training and technology transfer.
AND THE LIST GOES ON.

You can use this link to verify what authorization level that SMS has or see the attached picture.

My brother, thanks for referencing this my teardown, I have never had any issues what so ever with any Lithium Battery in my installations probably because I have a thing with sticking to quality.
But of course most people would prefer the cheaper by dozen options.

Thing is most of our DIY Batteries are coupled in non certified conditions and environments. I doubt some of us even polish our busbars before coupling which will eventually lead to atmospheric corrosion in a no distant time. How many factors can we even highlight?

Dam5reey1:
Welded busbars terrible until I saw Deye Teardown..

Never seen Screws on EVs battery cause of High Current Demands una dey discharge at an average of 0.2C to 0.4C burst una dey Hype Screwed busbars... Abeg...

So how many packs requires you to change one cell?
We are over exaggerating.... Here..

Many even claimed PCBs are bad idea as well.

Having troubleshoot several packs I now can for fact Welded Busbars.. PCBs are way to go..

The Hithium Packs with Welded Busbars has better Cell Deviation after top balancing, compared to the EVE packs.

And capacity is not a way to know quality cells Lmao...
And when they say Matched batched cells are dey referring to the colors of the cells ?

Teardown provided by Jonescosmos.. make una dey batch welded busbars. I wonder how many Cells he had to changed...

Most people are suffering from lossed terminal and getting them resolved low key.

If this is how you have been connecting the Black Stacked battery, you are doing it wrongly bro.
One of your DC cable should exit from the first battery and the second cable should exit from the last battery.

KaylaDeriy:
The white has 4 wheels to move easily, while the black doesn’t have. Each pack is about 120kg, so the wheels can help a lot if you want to move the battery.

The white is standing installation, the black can be stacked up to 3 or standing installation.

The screen of the black is touchable, while the screen of the white one is not touchable.

No single phase has 4mppts, you can get 4 mppt and above on HV models.
Grab Deye brochure here:

Global: https://hqcdn.hqsmartcloud.com/deyeinverter/2025/03/19/rand/4782/brochure-250319-en.pdf
Africa: https://www.deyeinverter.com/deyeinverter/2025/03/19/brochure-250319-za.pdf

Capacities are the same, protections has been improved, newer models have more surge tolerance, casings have been redesigned, colored screens have been introduced.

It's always advised to go for new models in every invention.

mangolpupa:
Bros is there a single phase Deye that has 4 mppt (8kw to 16kw).

Had you had the privilege of contrasting between the old & new model Deye (say 12kw or 16kw models). Is there any feature, improved build or construction that should make one be advised to go for the newer model.

Looking forward to your insight.

Even the US Split phase has it. See attached pictures.

AM, EM, BM,SM in the models has to do with Capacities ad Casing Designs. This AM casing was designed to adapt to IP65 protection degree (High Temperature and High Humidity Locations) compared to others which are IP20 Protection Casings. Perhaps the reason you said for Nigerian Market but like I said, Even the US versions also have it.

The WECO 5K3 has 8pin DIP Switch. Like I said, WECO is an OEM proprietary product which follows the ieee standard for 8pin DIP.

LBSA is a DIY Pack usually assembled in South Africa using that kind of IO on your battery pack and might hold some similarities in DIP configuration as yours.

Most Batteries with 8 DIP Switches when used in parallel battery config are usually configured as shown on the attached picture. If you have a single pack, all DIP Switches should be down(off).

I might be wrong though but you should try it out, no harm should be caused.

I have used this config on LBSA & WECO Batteries + Deye & Growatt Inverters

You will need both the user manual of the Inverter and the battery, find a page where the RJ45 Pinout is described (for CAN and RS485) respectively, the crimp a network cable following the instructions of the pinouts, then use the cable to link the battery to the inverter, locate the DIP Switch description in the Battery user manual, set the switch accordingly and configure your inverter battery type setting accordingly.

You should be fine.

This is the reason you need to buy proprietary products, there's a standardized pinout for such products and all you need to do will be to configure protocols and IDs and you should establish a communication.

There is no standardized pinout for mass produced IOs (input & Output) interfaces. And as such only the producers of the products are the only ones to provide the cables for you or tell you which pin does what.

Thanks a lots bros, please take a look at my post above. Perhaps you would understand my scenario better.

On 17th and 18th of this month I did some welding construction hence the 586KW and 604KW productions respectively.

Now imagine me doing that with grid.

mctfopt:
Monthly usage is 3.27MWh

Which gives an average of 105kwh/day

Going by Band A ₦225/kWh tariff that's roughly ₦23k/ day savings or ₦713k/month. That's some insane energy savings.

Going green is totally worth it.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jonescosmos(m): 10:12pm On Mar 21, 2025*

Thanks a lot bros,

I actually took the snapshot at around midday hence my ~98kw generation, my actual daily consumption goes up to around 210KW on average, Abuja Disco band A charged me ~N225.23/kw (VAT Inclusive) as at May 2024 and that was when it dawned on me that it's time to abandon the grid totally.

So if I go by N225.23 x 210KW = N47,298 per day and N1,466,247.30 per 31 days of the month.

Now that's a whole lot of energy bill to cope with abeg.

mangolpupa:
My brother, I think you miscalculated. Your total production as at time you took the snapshot was ~98kwh. Abuja Disco band A should be around N209.50k. So that is 98 kwh × N209.5 = N20,531. I would guess that your daily cost may be in the region of N30k or ~145kwh.

Even at N20k a day, that's averages N600k of electricity in a month.

Someone should help me check how much I would have been spending on daily energy needs without solar.

I have never seen a 60A 2 poles breaker, but I have seen 60A 3&4 poles, 6A and 63A. So I mau conclude that your breaker is fake. It might have been labeled by Alaba boys to 60A.
Even if it manages to be a 60A breaker, it's oversized for you setup and should not be tripping.

Please do is a favour by attaching pictures of the items you have issues with.

Finally, grab yourself a 40A or 45A DC MCB to replace this your 60A MCB.
