In the rapidly evolving world of solar technology, Hoymiles is setting new benchmarks with its innovative microinverters.
Offering unmatched efficiency and reliability, these microinverters are helping transform how users harness solar power.
Unmatched reliability
Traditional inverters pose significant risks due to the high direct current voltage they carry, which can lead to electric shocks and fire hazards.
Hoymiles microinverters, however, are connected in parallel, with each inverter carrying a voltage of just 40 volts (V).
This low voltage eliminates the danger of electric shock and fire hazards from the outset, ensuring a safe and stable solar energy system.
Operating at safer voltage and supported by IP67 enclosure ratings, Hoymiles microinverters are designed to guarantee the utmost safety for any property.
This high level of safety is further enhanced by cloud monitoring capabilities, allowing potential issues to be promptly identified and addressed, ensuring around-the-clock safety.
The reliability and efficiency of Hoymiles’ microinverters is further demonstrated by its rigorous testing that exceeds standard certification requirements.
With global certifications and extensive environmental and electrical testing, these microinverters are built to withstand the harshest conditions, making them a dependable choice for solar energy systems.
Durability you can count on
Hoymiles microinverters are engineered for long-term performance.
The company’s commitment to durability is evident in its warranty program, which offers a standard 12-year warranty that can be extended up to an impressive 25 years.
This long-term warranty provides peace of mind to users, knowing that their investment is protected.
Hoymiles products undergo stringent environmental and electrical tests to ensure they can endure various conditions.
Additionally, the microinverters are designed with robust surge protection, capable of withstanding up to 6000V, ensuring they remain functional even during extreme weather events.
Affordable excellence
Hoymiles is driven by a vision for a cleaner and more sustainable future, aspiring to lead the smart energy industry through the deployment of robust technology and reliable products.
A core part of this vision is making advanced solar technology accessible to a wider audience. Hoymiles lives by its motto: “to make good technology more impactful by lowering its cost and making it accessible to more people”.
The affordability of Hoymiles microinverters does not come at the expense of quality. Despite its competitive pricing, these microinverters offer superior performance and reliability.
The company’s focus on cost-efficiency ensures that more people can benefit from renewable energy solutions without a prohibitive upfront investment.
Outstanding performance
When comparing different types of inverters – central inverters, string inverters, and microinverters – it becomes clear why Hoymiles microinverters are a superior choice for many applications.
Central inverters are typically used in large-scale solar installations, offering high output capacity.
However, they present a significant drawback: a single point of failure risk that can disrupt the entire system.
This vulnerability makes them less suitable for smaller or residential installations where system reliability is crucial.
String inverters, on the other hand, are common in residential and commercial solar systems.
While they are generally cheaper than microinverters, the performance is limited by the least efficient panel in the string.
This means that if one panel is shaded or underperforming, it can drag down the efficiency of the entire string.
Moreover, if a string inverter fails, the entire row of panels connected to it stops producing power, potentially leading to significant energy loss.
Microinverters, such as those produced by Hoymiles, offer distinct advantages over both central and string inverters.
Each solar panel or a small group of panels has its own microinverter, eliminating the single point of failure risk.
This design ensures continuous power production even if one unit fails, as the rest of the system remains unaffected.
Furthermore, microinverters allow for monitoring and optimisation of individual panels, maximising overall system efficiency.
This level of granular control and resilience makes Hoymiles’ microinverters an ideal choice for those seeking to maximise their solar investment and ensure consistent energy production.
Hoymiles’ microinverters capitalise on the advantages of microinverter technology. By eliminating the limitations of string inverters and the single point of failure risk of central inverters, Hoymiles microinverters provide a more resilient and efficient solution for solar power systems.
Efficiency and performance
Hoymiles’ microinverters utilise module-level maximum power point tracking (MPPT), ensuring each solar panel operates at its maximum power point independently.
This feature is crucial for optimising the energy output of each panel, especially in conditions where shading, dust, or other obstructions might affect some panels but not others.
The efficiency of an inverter is often represented by an efficiency curve, which shows how well the inverter converts DC power to AC power under various conditions.
A good efficiency curve for an inverter should rise quickly, indicating good low-light performance, and remain flat without significant drops, indicating consistent performance under different conditions.
Hoymiles microinverters boast a high peak efficiency of 96.7 per cent, reflecting their ability to perform well across a wide range of operating conditions.
Scalability and flexibility
One of the standout features of Hoymiles’ microinverters is its scalability and flexibility.
Whether clients want to expand their system’s capacity in the future or make changes to solar panel configuration, Hoymiles’ microinverters provide a plug-and-play solution.
Panels connected to each inverter can have different ratings, makes, or orientations, as each panel operates independently.
This eliminates the impact of shadow, dust, or bird droppings on adjacent panels, ensuring the continued efficiency of entire solar array.
Hoymiles is revolutionising solar technology with its leading microinverters, offering unparalleled reliability, durability, and affordability, combined with cutting-edge technology and a vision for a sustainable future.
