Getting Deye AI1 System Configuration Right
More installers are working with the Deye AI1 system and a common question is how to configure it correctly from the start.
The components are straightforward, it’s how they’re configured that matters.
So we’ve put together a simple diagram to make that clearer.
Deye AI1 System Configuration – Explained Simply
At a high level, it comes down to one key decision:
Are you running a battery-only stack, or incorporating a hybrid inverter?
From there, the setup changes.
- PDU1 is used for battery-only stacks (up to 6 batteries)
- PDU3 is required when integrating an all-in-one hybrid inverter (up to 5 batteries)
That’s it, but getting that decision right early avoids issues later on.
Why This Matters
Getting the configuration right upfront avoids problems later.
When the system is set up correctly:
- Performs reliably under load
- Communication remains stable
- Expansion is straightforward
If not:
- Issues often appear after commissioning
- Fault finding becomes more difficult on site
Quick Reference
We’ve included a diagram below to make this easy to follow on-site or during planning.
Use it as a quick reference when quoting, designing, or ordering.
