Deye Inverter Configuration Guide
How to connect Deye inverters to Sourceful Zap via Modbus RTU (RS485).
Prerequisites
-
Sourceful Zap
-
CAT6 FTP ethernet cable (one end will be stripped)
Compatible Models
Microinverters
SUN-G3-EU-230Series (300W to 2000W)
Hybrid Inverters
-
SUN-5/6/8/10/12K-SG04LP3-EU -
SUN-12/14/16K-SG01LP1-EU -
SUN-5/6/8/10/12/15/20/25K-SG01HP3-EU -

Wiring
Communication between the Sourceful Zap and Deye inverters uses Modbus RTU (RS485).
Strip one end of the ethernet cable. Use the green pair:
-
Pin 1 (green/white) =
485_B -
Pin 2 (green) =
485_A
Zap Side

-
Connect
485_A(green) to the Zap A+ terminal -
Connect
485_B(green/white) to the Zap B- terminal
Inverter Side
Plug the RJ45 end into the correct port for your model:
-
SG04LP3-EU→ port labeled Meter-485 -
SG01LP1-EU→ port labeled Modbus RS-485 -
SG01HP3-EU→ port labeled RS485
Do not use the BMS, Parallel, CAN, or DRM ports.
Inverter Setting
On the inverter display, navigate to:
Settings → Advanced Function → Paral. Set3
Set Modbus SN to 01.
Troubleshooting
If RS485 communication is not working:
-
Verify the Modbus SN is set to
01 -
Double-check you are using the correct port for your inverter model
-
Ensure all cable connections are firmly seated
