QS-072 · Backup & off-grid output

Deye backup/load output trips with F18 / F34 AC overcurrent. Why?

The short answer
Backup load is above the inverter rating: remove big loads, restart, then escalate if it persists.

Plain explanation

From the Deye manual for the SUN-SG04LP1 hybrid: Check backup/load power is within the inverter rating. Remove big loads from the backup output. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Owners can do the app and visual checks; any work on the wiring is for the installer.

Steps from the source

  1. Check backup/load power is within the inverter rating
  2. Remove big loads from the backup output
  3. Restart the inverter
  4. Persists → installer / Deye support
