Introduction:

A local resident in Grand Bay-Westfield, Canada, successfully transitioned their home to renewable energy by integrating Hoymiles microinverters into their new photovoltaic (PV) system. This ensured efficient, reliable, and code-compliant solar power for their household, significantly reducing their energy bills in the process. This project went on to win an Excellence Award in Residential PV for North America in Hoymiles’ 2023 Project Contest.

Their Story

Bringing renewable energy to New Brunswick

In the Canadian riverside town of Grand Bay-Westfield, a local resident was looking to embrace renewable energy to power their home more sustainably. Ultimately, the household wanted to reduce their energy bills and use available grants to make the switch to renewable energy.

The installers at A+ Solar Solutions, who were hired for the residential project, were looking for reliable microinverters that could easily fit into their customer’s new photovoltaic (PV) system. This would allow the PV panels to safely convert energy from DC to AC, harnessing usable power for the household.

But there was a problem. The installers needed to work within the strict limitations of the area’s electrical code. So this project required them to find appropriate microinverter options that could not only align with the electrical code but also give them the reliability and efficiency the homeowner needed.

That’s when the installers discovered Hoymiles.

Their Solution

Quick and easy microinverter installation

The installers at A+ Solar Solutions set to work integrating the Hoymiles microinverters into the household’s new PV system. In total, there were eight HMS-2000-4T-NA (4-in-1) microinverters and one HMS-1000-2T-NA (2-in-1) microinverter installed into the new PV system.

These Hoymiles microinverter series allow faster installation at lower cost than 1-to-1 microinverters. They are specifically designed with rooftop solar stations in mind due to their inherent rapid shutdown capability, making them the safest option for homeowners.

In particular, the installers chose Hoymiles high-powered microinverters as they were capable of peak output power of up to 2,000 VA, while still aligning with the area’s strict electrical code. They also felt reassured by the microinverters’ 25-year product warranty.

Nine high-powered microinverters help the PV system keep up with the household’s power demands while still adhering to the area’s strict electrical code.

Ease of use was also a key concern, so the Balkony system was an ideal choice — customers can simply log in to their Hoymiles S-Cloud app to monitor their system and see the electricity yield at a quick glance.

The integrated industrial-grade Wi-Fi module also makes the Balkony system less prone to errors, while the embedded antenna is protected from wear and tear by the inverter’s robust design.

Their Success

The installers recommended Hoymiles when switching to renewable energy because of its state-of-the-art microinverters, combined with the 25-year product warranty.

Decades of safe solar energy for the Canadian residents

By choosing Hoymiles microinverters, the residents of the household could not only make a transition towards cleaner, more efficient renewable energy but also significantly reduce their energy bills.

These microinverter integrations into the new PV system ensured that the property adhered to the electrical code by using the right products, giving the homeowners confidence that the microinverters came with a product warranty that ensured top performance and reliability for a quarter of a century.

As a result of this success, the project went on to win an Excellence Award in Residential PV for North America in Hoymiles’ 2023 Project Contest – a seal of approval for efficient and effective solar energy harvesting.
