PV stations face all kinds of challenges: environmental, mechanical, or both, because they are installed outdoors and exposed to dust, rain, wind. As the powerhouse of PV stations, microinverters play a key role in the system’s overall performance.

Imagine the following scenario:

  • A power-hungry chemical manufacturer wants to cut energy costs by going solar.
  • The PV station must ensure 100% safety because of the nature of the business.
  • The manufacturer is located on an island.
  • The PV station must resist the environmental challenges posed by the coastal climate.
  • Optimal solar performance is essential for the bottom line of the business.

Hoymiles new 8-in-1 MiT microinverter is the answer to all these challenges.

Their Story

This is a chemical manufacturer on Daxie Island in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province on the southeast coast of China. The business has rigorous safety requirements.

The humid air, vapor, and salt spray typical of an island require solar products to have high levels of waterproofing and corrosion resistance.

That is why the client aimed for a microinverter solution from the very beginning.

Their Solution

Hoymiles 8-in-1 MiT is the first microinverter in the world that has an output power of 5,000 W, making it an ideal option for C&I settings.

No arc fault, with more safety built in

The number-one cause of fire and electric shock in PV systems is high-voltage DC arcing. But Hoymiles MiT microinverter PV system is characterized by safer DC voltage below 120/140 V, eliminating arc fault risk once and for all, so that your property and personal safety are covered from the outset.

This is also the reason why the client decided to use microinverters when designing the whole solar installation.

Industrial-grade protection ensuring durable performance

The manufacturer is on Daxie Island off the southeast coast of China, and solar equipment installed outdoors is directly exposed to environmental challenges. The system components must be sturdy enough to resist the humid air, salt spray, and corrosion.

Hoymiles MiT microinverters are IP67-rated, meaning that the product is fully protected against water, vapor and dust. The C5 corrosion level means that the microinverter is particularly robust and requires no replacement for 25 years straight, saving installation and maintenance costs.

Corrosion classifications are from C1 to C5 based on the ISO standard. C1 is the lowest level for materials not exposed to corrosion in normal conditions, while C5 represents the “very high” resistance to corrosion in highly humid and aggressive atmospheric conditions.

Moreover, the MiT microinverter is designed to endure harsh environments with an operating temperature range from -45℃ to 60℃, so that high temperatures in summer are never a problem.

Built to deliver more solar harvest and better ROI

The microinverter has four input channels, each supporting 2 PV modules connected in series and bringing the total capacity to 8 PV modules. This increases the cost-effectiveness for businesses because fewer microinverters are needed to achieve the energy goal.

In addition, the Hoymiles MiT microinverter has a peak efficiency of 97.4%, making it a strong powerhouse for the solar system.

The four MPPTs ensure that each PV module generates the optimum output. It also has a low start-up voltage (32 V) and a wide MPPT voltage range from 12 V to 136 V, meaning that the microinverter is up and running sooner and can work in dim light. Users will get less downtime, more hours generating useful power, and ultimately, better ROI.

Remote diagnosis for accurate and effortless O&M

All the operational data of the system is transmitted to the S-Miles Cloud smart monitoring platform, so users can access information like the power generation of each MPPT channel and the real-time power. This ensures accurate module-level monitoring and simple O&M, all done remotely.

Their Success
