What Can a Deye 40kw Three Phase High Voltage Commercial System Actually Power?

System Capacity: 40,000 Watts Continuous | Surge Capacity: ~80,000 Watts

When Sona Solar Zimbabwe commissioned the massive 40kW project for a Butchery and Entertainment Hub, the question wasn't just about price—it was about capability. A system of this magnitude, built on the Deye 3-Phase Ecosystem, moves beyond simple home backup. It is a mini-grid capable of running heavy industrial motors, vast refrigeration networks, and high-demand hospitality equipment simultaneously.

With 112kWh of Lithium storage and 40kVA of inverter output, this system is designed to handle the heavy "inductive loads" that smaller systems cannot touch. Below, we break down exactly what this commercial powerhouse can run.

1. Heavy Duty: The Butchery Load

The primary challenge in a commercial butchery is "Inrush Current"—the massive spike of power needed to start large motors. The 40kW Deye system handles this effortlessly.

INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION

Capabilities: Walk-in Cold Rooms & Freezer Rooms

Motor Size: Supports multiple 3-Phase Compressors (5HP - 10HP)

Performance: Maintains sub-zero temps 24/7 without grid reliance.

CRITICAL

HEAVY PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

Equipment: Industrial Bandsaws, Meat Mincers, Sausage Fillers

Load Type: High inductive start-up loads

Performance: Runs heavy machinery simultaneously without tripping.

HEAVY

Electric motors (like those in cold rooms and bandsaws) require up to 3x their rated power just to start up. A standard 5kW or 8kW inverter would trip immediately. The 40kW Deye setup has a surge capacity of roughly 80kW for 10 seconds, absorbing these spikes effortlessly while keeping the lights on.

2. Hospitality: The Entertainment Hub

An entertainment hub requires power quality and consistency for audio-visual equipment and guest comfort.

CLIMATE CONTROL (HVAC)

Equipment: Multiple Commercial Air Conditioners (24,000 - 36,000 BTU)

Performance: Keeps large venues cool during peak heat without straining the system.

COOLING

AUDIO & VISUAL SYSTEMS

Equipment: PA Systems, DJ Rigs, Stage Lighting, Large LED Screens

Requirement: Clean, pure sine wave power to prevent hum/damage.

SENSITIVE

In an entertainment hub, power usage is rarely even. You might have heavy stage lighting on Phase 1, kitchen equipment on Phase 2, and sound on Phase 3. The Deye 20kW (x2) allows for 100% unbalanced output, meaning each phase operates independently to meet demand without destabilizing the 3-phase balance.

3. The Overnight Load: 112kWh Storage

22 x DEYE 5.12kWh BATTERIES

Total Capacity: 112.6 kWh of stored energy

Real World Application:

Running 3 large cold rooms continuously overnight (12 hours).
Keeping security lighting and perimeter systems active.
Ensuring inventory does not spoil during 18-hour load shedding.

112 UNITS

4. Technical Capabilities

This 40kW system is a Hybrid solution. It can:

Blend Power: Mix Solar (28kWp) + Battery + Grid simultaneously to handle peak loads.
Auto-Start Generator: If batteries hit a critical low (e.g., after 3 days of rain), the Deye inverter sends a signal to start the diesel generator automatically, charging batteries and powering the load, then shuts it off.
Export Power: If regulations allow, excess power can be fed back or used to power auxiliary non-essential loads.

This 40kW setup is just the beginning. Deye inverters allow for paralleling up to 10 units. If the business expands to include a supermarket or hotel, we can simply add more inverters and batteries to the existing micro-grid without discarding the current equipment.

Power Your Business Without Limits

Don't let power cuts dictate your business hours or spoil your stock. From butcheries to mines, Sona Solar Zimbabwe designs systems that work.
