Fed by the battery alone
A 48 V bank between 46 and 58 V DC is the whole electrical installation, so cooling continues overnight without mains or a generator.

Solar Air ConditionersModel DGA1-DC48V-18K
A 17,300 BTU battery-fed split for 20-30 m² rooms, running on 46-58 V DC with a twin-rotary Highly WHP05600 compressor.
In stock
A 48 V bank between 46 and 58 V DC is the whole electrical installation, so cooling continues overnight without mains or a generator.
5,070 W at T1 for 1,450 W of input, an EER of 3.50/11.80, with the compressor modulating from 4,100 up to 18,000 BTU.
The strongest heating efficiency in the DC48V line: 5,250 W of heat for 1,400 W drawn from the bank, or 18,000 BTU.
Two rotary stages on a variable-speed drive, a two-row coil in 9.52 mm inner-groove tube and an electronic expansion valve on R410A.
A BLDC 45 W indoor fan gives four steps from 620 to 980 m³/h; the outdoor unit runs a BLDC 55 W motor at 880 rpm below 55 dB.
Once the room reaches 20 to 30 m², a single rotary compressor is no longer enough, and the DGA1-DC48V-18K answers with a twin-rotary Highly WHP05600 running on a two-row coil of 9.52 mm inner-groove tube. Power still comes from the 48 V bank alone, anywhere between 46 and 58 V DC, so a living room can be held cool overnight without starting a generator. Cooling is 5,070 W at T1 for 1,450 W of input, an EER of 3.50/11.80, spanning 4,100 to 18,000 BTU as the load moves. T3 conditions leave 14,300 BTU on the table. Heating is where this model stands apart: 18,000 BTU for 1,400 W of input, a COP of 3.75/12.80, the best in the DC48V range. The indoor unit moves up to 980 m³/h under 46 dB, removes 1.7 L/h of moisture, and the outdoor unit can sit 20 m away. We are an authorised Deye distributor and supply the DGA1-DC48V-18K from our own stock, with technical support before and after the sale.
