Hoymiles Microinverter HMS-2000C – The 2000 Watt Microinverter
The Hoymiles Quad Microinverter. Model number HMS-2000C is a 2000-watt microinverter. Quad means you can connect four solar panels into one microinverter. Finally, a microinverter that can output close to 500 watts per panel. Meaning you could easily pair 550 – 600 watt panels to this microinverter.
In the video below I discuss the trunk cable and DTU for the microinverter as well. If you would like to watch how this is completed you can find my full-length video on my YouTube channel. I show how easy it is to wire the trunk cable and briefly talk about the DTU which communicates with the Hoymiles microinverter.
A lot of people get into looking at microinverters, and they see one brand, that one brand I don’t feel has kept up with the high demand for these high output panels. Hoymiles has really given us a product here that is possible to use in high-wattage panels. 480 watts of output per panel. Meaning you could really connect four 525-watt STC-rated panels and never experience clipping.
Had I known about these other manufacturers I might not be using the system I am using today. That is the reason I’m writing this article. I want to educate others that they have more than one choice out there. I’m not trying to persuade you to buy Hoymiles or any other manufacturer. I just want to provide you with options and you decide which options are best for you. There are options on the market. Definitely look into it.
This is a very promising step forward because Hoymiles now has a unit that can handle a 2000-watt array with just one microinverter. I find that very impressive and you can find more information on Hoymiles and the products they offer over on their website: https://www.hoymiles.com.
I hope you found this helpful or entertaining in some way. If you did, be sure to show the love and leave me a comment below. Hope that isn’t too much to ask for and I look forward to seeing you in the next article. Appreciate it, I’m out!
Good job on the “Hoymiles Microinverter”. I’ve watched several of your videos and enjoyed them. I’m a DIY’er and about to start a 12 panel ground mount. I’d appreciate a video giving details of connecting the “home run’ to the house. From what I understand there are 3 options surrounding the house connection…
1. connected, but if grid goes down, you go down
2. connected, but if grid goes down you stay up
3. connected and battery enabled
I’d appreciate if you cover all of these. Thanks
Hi Doug,
I am working on a lot of new content that you might find useful going forward. I am exploring a bunch of new components and look forward to sharing them with everyone. Thanks for watching and checking out my blog.
