The Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger series comprises all-in-one hybrid inverters integrating a sinusoidal inverter, an MPPT charge regulator, and a battery charger into a single unit. This design simplifies wiring and reduces installation setup time. This solution is particularly suitable where reliable emergency power supply (UPS mode) and seamless switching between PV, grid, and battery power are essential. Depending on the variant, the series features either one or multiple MPPT channels, aiding energy harvest under partial shading and when panels operate in different orientations (e.g., east-west). High European efficiency translates to fewer losses in real-world conditions, delivering more energy to consumers annually. Users have access to a local display, communication interfaces (e.g., RS485, and CAN/USB in selected models), and monitoring via WiFi and the SmartESS app. The inverters are compatible with popular 48V energy storage systems, including LiFePO4, and offer features supporting their operation. Selected models feature certification CE (IEC 62109-1/2) and market/seller-dependent warranty. Ideal for homes, farms, and small commercial facilities aiming to increase self-consumption and grid resilience during outages.

Pros and cons

5 positive · 4 caution
What owners get
All-in-one architecture with MPPT up to 150 A

Integrating a sinusoidal inverter, an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller (with charging current ranging from 120-150 A depending on the model), and a battery charger into a single enclosure reduces assembly time and minimizes the number of cable connections compared to a configuration using separate components.

Dual MPPT in top-tier models

Models 11-12 kW are equipped with two independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) strings (totaling up to 150 A), which improves performance under various orientations of the panels (e.g., east-west) or with partial shading compared to models with a single MPPT string in the same price range.

Wide range of power and parallel operation

The series includes models ranging from approximately 3.2 kW to 12 kW; selected units support parallel operation and a 3-phase configuration, enabling gradual expansion of the installation without replacing the inverter.

Native compatibility with 48 V LiFePO4

The inverters support RS485 communication with 48 V/51.2 V LiFePO4 batteries (including the Easun PowerWall 200 Ah system), as well as classic technologies (AGM, Gel), which simplifies integration with popular energy storage systems in the EU market without the need for additional protocol converters.

CE certification (IEC 62109-1/2)

The CE certification, compliant with IEC 62109-1/2, meets the safety requirements of the European market and is a necessary condition for legal sale and connection to the grid within the EU.

Trade-offs
Significant issues with the SmartESS application

Users on the DIY Solar Power Forum (in the 2024 thread) report frequent offline status of the device despite an active internet connection, a 6-minute data refresh delay, and significant discrepancies in reported production (reported cases: 160 kWh in the app versus actually 4-5 kWh displayed on the inverter screen). Some installers are switching to external monitoring solutions (e.g., Solar Assistant) as a workaround.

Lack of WiFi encryption and a closed protocol

Reports from online forums indicate a lack of security in the Wi-Fi layer of certain models; the manufacturer refuses to provide the communication protocol, which makes local monitoring difficult and raises legitimate concerns about the cybersecurity of devices connected to the power grid.

3-year warranty vs. 5-10 years offered by competitors

The standard warranty is 3 years, while comparable manufacturers in the higher segment offer: Growatt - 5 years, Deye - 5-10 years, SMA/Fronius - up to 10 years with the option to extend. A shorter warranty period increases the risk of service costs over the typical 20-year lifespan of an installation.

Limited budget and a restricted service network within the EU

Easun is classified by independent industry rankings as a budget-oriented brand (below Deye, Growatt, and Goodwe), with a smaller network of authorized distributors and service centers in Poland and the EU. Its peak efficiency, which is around 93-96% (depending on the model), remains below the 98.4-98.6% offered by Growatt and Deye in comparable power classes.

About the Hybrid Inverter/Charger series

6 answered

These answers cover the whole series. Where a figure differs, the specification above is this model's own.

What warranty does Easun Power offer for the Hybrid Inverter/Charger series?
The Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger is covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty of 2 years from the date of purchase. However, the final warranty period depends on the seller and the market. In case of a malfunction, you should contact the distributor or Easun Power's support department directly. It is advisable to check the specific warranty terms with the seller before purchasing, as they may vary.
Does the Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger work with LiFePO4 batteries?
Yes, the entire Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger series is compatible with popular 48 V energy storage systems, including LiFePO4 batteries. Communication with the battery is achieved through the RS485 interface (and CAN in some models), which allows for precise control of charging and discharging parameters. Before connecting a specific battery, it is advisable to check its BMS protocol and ensure that the inverter supports it.
Does the Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger function as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) when the power supply from the grid is interrupted?
Yes, one of the key features of this series is the UPS mode, which allows for automatic and seamless switching between the electrical grid, solar panels, and battery. The switching time is so short that most sensitive household devices do not experience any interruption in power supply. This is particularly important for consumers who are prone to frequent power outages or interruptions in electricity supply.
How many photovoltaic panels can be connected to the Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger?
This depends on the specific model chosen. Smaller units (e.g., 2.2-3.2 kVA) have a single MPPT tracker, while more powerful versions (6.2 kW, 12 kW) are equipped with two independent MPPT inputs with a combined current capacity of up to 150 A. The dual MPPT allows for connecting two sets of panels in different orientations or with varying shading without significant energy losses.
How to monitor the operation of the Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger using the app?
Models with integrated WiFi modules allow for remote monitoring via the SmartESS app, available for Android and iOS. The app displays current power flows, battery status, PV output, and production history. Local readings are also available on the LCD screen integrated into the inverter. Furthermore, RS485, USB, and optional CAN interfaces enable integration with building management systems or external data loggers.
Do Easun Power Hybrid Inverter/Charger units have a CE certification, and are they suitable for installation in Poland?
Selected models from the series have CE certification, compliant with IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2 standards, which confirms compliance with European safety requirements for photovoltaic inverters. This allows for legal installation within the European Union, including in Poland. However, it is advisable to confirm with the seller that the specific model is supplied in the European market version with a 230 V / 50 Hz voltage before purchasing.
