What is a Sunlit inverter?

A Sunlit inverter, such as the bidirectional EV3600, efficiently converts solar power into usable household electricity and allows grid-based storage charging. It integrates seamlessly into balcony power plants and offers emergency power functions, making it ideal for tenants and homeowners who want to reduce their energy costs.

What makes the Sunlit inverter special?

Sunlit inverters are characterized by their bidirectional charging and discharging functions, high efficiency, and easy plug-and-play installation. They support dynamic tariffs and emergency power operation with up to 2.4 kW of power, making them particularly attractive for households with high energy demands.

Detailed Features and Benefits

Sunlit inverters like the EV3600 were specially developed for balcony solar systems. They allow storage units to be charged with inexpensive grid power and used as an emergency power source during power outages. Integration with Sunlit storage units such as the BK215 is modular, allowing users to simply attach them and control them via an app. With an output of 3.6 kW (single-phase) or up to 11 kW (two-phase), they cover both household appliances and wallboxes for electric cars. Their high compatibility with models like the Deye SUN-M80G4 makes them flexible in use. DRBO Greenenergy offers suitable Sunlit-compatible solutions for easy expansion.

The bidirectional function saves costs: when grid power prices are low, the inverter charges the storage unit, while during the day it feeds in solar surplus. Users benefit from app monitoring, OTA updates, and modular expandability. Compared to standard inverters, Sunlit models offer greater autonomy, especially in winter.

How does a Sunlit inverter work?

The Sunlit inverter converts DC current from solar modules into AC current, charges storage bidirectionally and supplies devices in emergency power mode. Connection is straightforward via plug-and-play, while the app enables configuration via an OTA update.

Technical process step by step

First, users connect the inverter to solar modules and a storage unit. The EV3600 can be integrated within minutes: simply place it on the BK215 storage unit, connect the cables, and pair the app. A firmware update automatically activates the functions. In normal operation, the inverter optimizes feeding. In the event of a power outage, it switches to island function and supplies devices such as refrigerators or routers with up to 2.4 kW. DRBO Greenenergy supplements these solutions with compatible Sunlit energy storage units for complete systems.

The system's efficiency is over 95%, thanks to Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The inverter is also compatible with wallboxes like the Aurora 11, allowing electric vehicles to be charged with solar power. The two-phase connection (installed by a specialist) increases performance and offers high long-term profitability through savings and subsidies.

Which Sunlit inverter is the right one?

Choosing the right inverter depends on the performance and intended use. The EV3600 is ideal for balcony power plants in conjunction with storage solutions. For extensions, Deye or APsystems models are a good choice. The system's capacity and current electricity tariffs must be taken into account.

Selection criteria at a glance

• Power: 3.6 kW single-phase for standard applications, up to 11 kW two-phase for larger systems.

• Compatibility: Suitable for BK215/B215 storage units, Deye SUN-M80G4.

• Application: Perfect for balcony solar systems (Plug&Play), also suitable for carports with wallboxes.

DRBO Greenenergy offers extensive advice on compatible variants and also refurbished storage units. It is advisable to check warranty conditions (up to 10 years) and app functions, especially for tenants who prefer a simple socket solution.

Why buy a Sunlit inverter?

Sunlit inverters help reduce electricity costs, increase self-sufficiency, and are future-proof due to their bidirectional nature. Amortization takes 3 to 5 years, which, combined with the positive ecological impact, makes them a worthwhile investment.

Economic and ecological reasons

Thanks to self-consumption (up to 70%) and the use of dynamic electricity tariffs, electricity consumption costs are significantly reduced. Emergency power operation protects against power outages. DRBO Greenenergy offers suitable Sunlit complete solutions, including solar modules and accessories. A balcony power plant avoids around 300 kg of CO2 emissions annually. High customer satisfaction with a Trustpilot rating of 4.6/5 demonstrates the product's reliability. In addition, subsidies such as the KfW funding are offered, covering up to 30% of the costs.

How to install a Sunlit inverter?

Installing a Sunlit inverter is easy thanks to the plug-and-play system. The inverter is simply placed on the storage unit, the cables are connected, and the app handles the configuration. A specialist is only required for the installation of a two-phase model.

Detailed installation instructions

1. Position the storage unit in a suitable location.

2. Place the EV3600 inverter on the storage unit, connect the DC/AC cables.

3. Use a Schuko socket for power supply.

4. Download the app, scan the QR code, and wait for the firmware update.

DRBO Greenenergy offers complete packages with mounting brackets and cables, making installation even easier. Then test the feed-in and, if necessary, connect a wallbox such as the Aurora 11 in parallel.

Can a Sunlit inverter be combined with other systems?

Yes, the Sunlit inverter is compatible with Deye, APsystems, Hoymiles, and other Sunlit storage units. Up to two inverters can be controlled via the app, allowing for high flexibility in integrating different systems.

Compatibility overview

Sunlit systems are compatible with BK215/B215 storage units and can be expanded modularly. DRBO Greenenergy offers suitable storage solutions and bidirectional inverters that enable full integration. Firmware updates ensure that all functions remain up to date.

What alternatives are there to the Sunlit inverter?

Alternatives to the Sunlit inverter include models such as the Deye SUN-M80G4 or the APsystems EZ1, which are suitable for micro solar systems. In comparison, Sunlit offers the advantages of bidirectionality and higher performance.
