Comprehensive Deye Inverter Monitoring Solution with Kaa IoT Platform

The KaaIoT team has implemented a multi-faceted Deye hybrid inverter monitoring solution combined with the Kaa IoT platform to control your energy systems seamlessly. Using the deye-controller library to retrieve data from the inverter and kaa_mqtt_client to send the data to the Kaa IoT platform, the solution provided here supports several Deye inverter models including but not limited to SUN-12K-SG04LP3-EU.

Our system is designed for homeowners, businesses, and solar farms with real-time insight and remote management to ensure system efficiency and reliability.

About Deye Hybrid Inverter

The Deye SUN-12K-SG04LP3-EU inverter is a hybrid inverter that accompanies the work of battery charging. The device can operate both in solar energy and grid power management, with additional support from a generator operating in AC and DC modes.

The inverter converts the DC energy generated by the solar panels into AC energy for further use in the home or business. It also incorporates a battery charge controller, allowing the home's batteries to be charged either by solar energy, an AC grid, or a generator. This in turn allows energy to be stored in batteries for later use and provides back-up power during grid outages, automatically switching to battery power if required. This flexibility makes the Deye inverter an ideal UPS and hybrid power solution for consistent power flow.

Key features of our monitoring solution

Our Deye inverter monitoring solution on the Kaa IoT platform offers the following key features:

Comprehensive real-time monitoring

Our solution provides flexible monitoring options tailored to diverse use cases and specific needs, allowing you to track a variety of parameters across different Deye inverter models. Key metrics we monitor include:

• AC output: power, voltage, and current
• DC input: voltage, current, and power
• Battery health: state of charge, voltage, current, temperature
• Grid conditions: frequency and voltage
• Energy yields: daily, monthly, total
• Temperature sensors: inverter and environment
• System status indicators: online, standby, fault codes. 

These parameters are customizable, enabling you to choose the data most relevant to your setup—whether it’s energy optimization, maintenance, compliance, or peak operational planning.

View real-time data on an intuitive dashboard to ensure peak performance and fast problem resolution. For a live example of what's possible with our solution, take a look at our public dashboard showing live data from an active SUN-12K-SG04LP3-EU connected to the Kaa IoT platform.
