01
Closed loop
The BMS and inverter exchange data.
The inverter can receive battery limits and operating information through a documented communication link such as CAN bus or RS485.
Solar inverter × battery compatibility
Know what your inverter and battery can actually communicate before you connect them.
A battery that charges is not always a battery the inverter understands. SolarPairing distinguishes closed-loop BMS communication from voltage-only operation and unsupported combinations.
01 / Status
Compatibility is more than a yes or no.
The same pair can charge, communicate fully, or fail to work safely. The distinction matters before you buy hardware or change a system.
02
Open loop
It runs by voltage, not battery data.
The inverter may charge and discharge the battery, but it does not receive its live state of charge, temperature or dynamic current limits.
03
Unsupported
There is no documented safe pairing.
A missing communication profile, different electrical requirements or explicit manufacturer guidance can make a combination unsuitable.
02 / Methodology
Evidence first, not assumptions.
Each public pairing is treated as a specific hardware claim, not as a brand-level guess.
Methodology01
Match the exact hardware
We separate inverter families, battery revisions and regional variants instead of assuming one model represents another.
02
Check the communication path
We record whether the evidence documents CAN bus, RS485, a gateway or voltage-only operation.
03
Link the evidence
Published entries include their source and verification date so you can review the underlying documentation yourself.

- BigBattery APEX-10K hybrid inverter + BigBattery NEXUS 2 48 V 16 kWh LiFePO4BigBattery’s NEXUS 2 + APEX-10K system page explicitly pairs its 16 kWh, 48 V NEXUS 2 LiFePO4 battery with the 10,000 W APEX-10K hybrid inverter. BigBattery specifies direct RS485 or CAN BMS communication for coordinated charging, discharging, state-of-charge monitoring and protection. This is a closed-loop BigBattery system; the manufacturer recommends at least two NEXUS 2 batteries for the inverter’s full 10 kW battery-powered output, so confirm final sizing and current manuals before installation.
- Tigo Energy EI Inverter (EU) single-phase 3 / 5 / 6 kW and three-phase 6 / 10 / 15 kW + Tigo Energy GO Battery (EU)Tigo’s EU EI Inverter documentation states that its hybrid inverter connects to both the Tigo EI Battery and the Tigo GO Battery. The same official page lists the compatible EI Inverter range as 3, 5 and 6 kW single-phase and 6, 10 and 15 kW three-phase units, while its GO Optimized ESS layout identifies the GO Battery as the storage component. This is a Tigo closed-loop system; confirm the region, phase, battery stack and current installation instructions before commissioning.
- Tigo Energy EI Inverter (EU) single-phase 3 / 5 / 6 kW and three-phase 6 / 10 / 15 kW + Tigo Energy EI Battery (EU) 3-12 kWhTigo’s EU EI Inverter product documentation says that the hybrid inverter connects directly to the Tigo EI and GO Battery, and it defines the supported single-phase 3, 5 and 6 kW and three-phase 6, 10 and 15 kW variants. Tigo’s EI Battery page defines the EU modular battery range from 3 to 12 kWh as part of the EI Residential Solution. This is a closed-loop Tigo system; verify phase, local grid code, battery enclosure count and current installation guide before commissioning.
- Qcells Q.VOLT HYB-G3-3P / HYB-G3-3P-D 5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 15.0 kW + Qcells Q.SAVE-G3 6.0 / 9.0 / 12.0 kWh (BMS-G3 + BAT-G3 modules)Qcells’ Q.HOME+ ESS HYB-G3-3P datasheet presents the Q.VOLT HYB-G3 three-phase hybrid inverter family together with the Q.SAVE MATEBOX-G3-3P and Q.SAVE-G3 storage system. It explicitly covers the 5.0 through 15.0 kW inverter range and 6.0, 9.0 and 12.0 kWh Q.SAVE-G3 configurations. The document identifies RS485 and CAN 2.0 between the BMS, inverter and battery modules, so this is a closed-loop Qcells system; do not substitute a different Q.SAVE generation.

The entry is in Deye’s CAN group with inverter setup value 00, indicating closed-loop BMS communication for the published combination. Confirm the precise battery variant, SUN inverter suffix, regional eligibility, firmware and cable configuration using the current Deye and Sunwoda documents before installation.
