Description
Deye hybrid solar AC/DC hot water heat pump in South Africa
Heat stored water using direct solar PV power, ambient air energy and AC backup. MicroSec Group offers enquiries for the 200 L and 300 L Deye solar air source hot water heat pump systems across South Africa. Request a project quotation for the equipment, PV arrangement and installation scope you need.

Solar operation with AC backup
The supplied brochure describes direct PV operation without a separate inverter, battery or charge controller, automatic AC/DC balancing, Wi-Fi app control and power metering. It also describes an adjustable AC grid power limiter from 0 to 600 W. Final panel selection and installation must follow the applicable model manual.
Nationwide South Africa quotations
Request a quote from Ballito and Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria, Cape Town, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, Polokwane, Mbombela, Kimberley or elsewhere in South Africa. Tell us your town, number of users, existing geyser capacity and whether you require supply only or installation. Stock, delivery, installation coverage and lead time are confirmed in your quotation.
Optional solar and battery hot water package
Choose Jinko or LONGi solar panels for your hot water and wider energy system. Ask about discounted full-pallet pricing for a larger project, or request the appropriate panel quantity with your heat pump quote.
Power your hot water with solar. For the 300 L DRSA1-ACDC-41/300, Deye’s published guidance suggests three 400–500 W solar panels as a reference configuration. The final PV string must be checked against the exact panel voltage, current and heat-pump model requirements. Where an existing solar inverter and battery system is involved, the installation layout and supply arrangements must be assessed separately. Battery-backed hot water and off-grid operation depend on the inverter, electrical architecture, equipment compatibility, available PV generation and daily hot water demand. A battery cannot be assumed to connect directly to the heat pump’s solar DC input. We will confirm the complete configuration and scope before quoting.

What does the 4.1 kW rating mean?
The published 4.1 kW rating is heating output, not the permitted PV array size. Rated electrical consumption is 972 W under specified test conditions; actual electrical demand varies with operation and conditions. Do not assume a fixed 1 kW draw or that a 4.1 kW PV array can be connected directly.
For the DRSA1-ACDC-41/300, Deye suggests three 400–500 W solar modules; the final PV string must satisfy the model’s electrical input requirements. See official Deye 300 L specifications.
For a practical comparison with conventional resistance geysers, read our solar heat pump vs electric geyser guide for South Africa.
Already have solar but your water heating still relies on grid power?
For a suitable South African site, MicroSec can assess a Deye solar AC/DC hot water heat pump as a separate hot-water project or alongside an existing solar system. The manufacturer specification on this listing states 972 W rated electrical input under its test conditions and 4.1 kW heating output; these are different ratings. Actual electrical demand and solar contribution depend on operating conditions and the final installation. The 4.1 kW heating rating must not be presented as the permitted PV array size.
Tell us the existing inverter and battery models, current water-heating equipment, available roof area and whether you need supply only or installation. Explore LONGi and Jinko solar panels, battery storage or request a complete solar hot-water quote. PV input limits and protection must be confirmed for the exact Deye heat-pump model.
Frequently asked questions
Does it need a battery or solar inverter?
The brochure describes a direct solar DC connection without a separate battery, inverter or charge controller for the heat pump. The PV string must meet the product input requirements.
Can it run when solar power is low?
It supports AC supply and combined AC/DC operation. Available grid supply and the installed configuration determine backup operation.
Which tank size should I choose?
Select 200 L or 300 L using hot water demand, occupancy and recovery needs. MicroSec can quote the appropriate scope from your site details.
Are panels and installation included?
The quotation will itemise the selected tank, outdoor unit, panels, protection, installation and delivery scope. No package inclusions are assumed.
