Integration of the Turbo Energy/Deye Inverter with Trydan
Deye is an inverter manufacturer that also markets its product under various brand names through other companies, such as Turbo Energy (the most recognised in Spain), SunSynk, or Sol-Ark. This inverter is compatible with the Trydan charging point, allowing you to maximise solar generation. The connection is made via cable and cannot be done via WiFi as with other inverters. We remind you that, as this is a battery-based inverter, the best connection method is directly to the inverter.
The connection is established via the RS485-Modbus protocol. To do this, we need to identify the A and B cables of this protocol.
Wired connection to the inverter
Deye/SunSynk/Turbo Energy 5K
There are different models depending on the year of manufacture. However, all are included in the DEYE manual.
Further down in the manual, we can see that in the RS485/CAN port we can choose 1, 2, or 7 and 8. If this port is occupied by the battery (where the CAN is connected), we can use the meter port. In this sense, any of them can be selected.
In this case, we have connected it using the meter port.
In this photo, we can see an older model. We will use the BMS485 port, which operates exactly the same as the RS485 port. A will correspond to number 7 and B to number 8. We will consult the manual to identify the best port for connection.
Deye/SunSynk 8K
We connect to pins 7 and 8, the same as with the previous model.
Deye/SunSynk 16K
Please note that in the latest 16 kW models/firmware, the BMS port is used simultaneously for SolarAssistant monitoring and the battery’s CAN communication. Refer to the 2-in-1 BMS port.
Deye/SunSynk 3 Phase
In this model, we will use the Meter-485 port.
Wired connection to the Trydan charging point
Once at the Trydan charging point, we need to connect to the RS485 input, which can be found on the cover. It uses the RJ45 ethernet cable that is included within the electronics.
The connection must be made as shown in the image below. Only two wires are needed: wire 4 must be connected to B, and wire 5 to A.
- WIRE 4 MUST BE CONNECTED TO 8 (WIRE B) ON THE DEYE / TURBO ENERGY SOLAR INVERTER
- WIRE 5 IS A, AND SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO 7 ON THE INVERTER
Note: On chargers manufactured from mid-2024 onwards, you can connect wires A and B directly to the control board, or even to the power board, via the dedicated ports. The ports are clearly labelled on the board.
Selecting the Solar Inverter in the Trydan Charging Point
Open the V2C Cloud app, select the charging point, and then go to the settings section. Enter the Dynamic Power Control area and select the list of solar inverters. Once selected, choose the Turbo Energy / DEYE inverter. Select the type of installation you have and finally, select the photovoltaic indicator.
