I have a project coming up soon that I think everyone will be interested in. Still working out the details though. I also hope to share more on Hoymiles going forward. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I look forward to making a video on that sometime soon. There are options available that make the process fairly simple. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻
Hello from England Justin, A dtu over here is expensive, do hoymiles have an app so the inverter can be monitored on a phone. I'm only looking at two panels on one inverter. Love the video's. Brian
Hello from Puerto Rico... watch your videos and I could wire a small 4 panel system , thanks to your detail explanation. I was wondering if you can make a video on how to set up that 4 panel system only to sell all solar production to net meetering. No bateery just sell. Greatly appriatiate. Anthony from Puerto Rico
That's how my main solar system is set up. Check out some of my older videos. I talk about how I wired everything. I hope those videos can help for now. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I have a 10kw Enphase system. I run my entire house, shop, and hot tub off my system. Everything is electric. Heat pump, water heater, dryer, range, welders, compressors, and so on. Yes, a microinverter system has no issues there.
This one is a dual microinverter. Hoymiles has single, dual, and quad microinverters for residential. Depending on your design, you might need quads, duals, and singles. Other designs might allow for all quads to reduce cost. The options are almost endless and make a lot of sense to me.
If there are 10 panels & 5 Microinverters on my roof, there are 6 or 10 wires at 240VAC coming into the house ? How do the 5 Microinverters stay IN PHASE with eachother ? If I want to charge a battery-bank , the AC has to be STEPPED DOWN & RECTIFIED , with CONVERSION LOSSES all over again ?
Not bashing the equipment or what so ever, but do we really need to send ANY data to the “cloud”? 1. Cloud means a server somewhere else and not in your home/office etc. Which at this point you could have your own micro server built using something like a Raspberry Pi or similar/cheaper. 2. I personally am not a fun of sending my data to anyone for whatever reason. If this is analytics data for my use, it should work directly within my own location, without the need to send any data anywhere else. If this is for warranties etc, i bet they could store all the counters they need inside the unit itself. 3. A dedicated small piece of hardware could do that without the need of a network connection what so ever. I personally will have a look on this, but even if I purchase it, it will always be offline, as it should.
It's not a requirement to have the communications connected in order for the system to work. It's only needed if you want to monitor the system in real-time. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
@@JustinsProject that’s good news. Personally am not freaking out if I don’t see live data from an app. Would be useful though if i could connect to it in any way in order to locally troubleshoot the system if i have any issues. A laptop and a usb connection maybe?! Registrations etc obviously will be done via internet in order for the company (and me) to keep track of when was this installed. Looks pretty good on paper as well. The spec of this is brilliant.
VA is a rating definition for DC that is VxI. In AC circuit, if your load is pure resistance, the same concept will apply. What that means is 696VA is 696Watts. Microinverters are outputing AC.
Until something happens. For people like us who will probably fix the issue themselves, warranties aren't as important. However, not everyone wants to deal with repairs after paying 10's of thousands of dollars on their system. Rightfully so.
Great to see more on Hoymiles! They are still top of my list for my next array😊

Excellent info, you describe things very well! Thanks for the review Justin, this product is appealing. 👍🏼
Much appreciated 🙏 I look forward to staying laser focused on Solar related products going foward. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Good plan 👍🏼
Very well explained Justin👏
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I enjoy your videos, thank you!
Appreciate it 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Justin, do you have to have a specific battery system for this? Just started looking into micro-inverters.
I look forward to making a video on that sometime soon. There are options available that make the process fairly simple. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻
Is any option for not feeding the grid (and the inverter to power only the house from 2-3 panels)?
Not really for microinverters, you would want to look into all in one string inverters
Hello from England Justin, A dtu over here is expensive, do hoymiles have an app so the inverter can be monitored on a phone. I'm only looking at two panels on one inverter. Love the video's. Brian
Yes, they do. You can find it in the app /play store as S-miles App. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

@@JustinsProject much appritiated. Thanks
Where do we purchase the Trunk Cable or cable to make a trunk cable and connector?
Gotta get them from a distributor in your area.
Does the trunk cable have a ground, or would that need to be run separately?
The trunk cable does have a ground. It's a 3 wire cable. Red, Black, and Green. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject any distributor you recommend?
@@totalpropertysolutionsexte4738 Where are you located? I'll see if I can find you one close.

okay but how does it handle large loads like a power tool can it handle super large powertools like a low frequency inverter could

What is this one as it has a different number than the 4 into 1 your recommended: "Hoymiles HMS-2000-4T HMS 2000W 4 Module Microinverter"?
This one is a dual microinverter. Hoymiles has single, dual, and quad microinverters for residential. Depending on your design, you might need quads, duals, and singles. Other designs might allow for all quads to reduce cost. The options are almost endless and make a lot of sense to me.
@@JustinsProject Got it. Thank you
@@benkanobe7500 👍🏻
Does this brand have ongrid 4 in 1 2000 can work on 120vAC micro inverter
I think they are all 240v
@@JustinsProject you mean 2 phase (L-L) is 240 and L-N will be 120 ??
If there are 10 panels & 5 Microinverters on my roof, there are 6 or 10 wires at 240VAC coming into the house ?
How do the 5 Microinverters stay IN PHASE with eachother ?

Where can I buy these inverters and associated supplies? I am interested in the 4-1.
In the USA: CED Miami and VANMETER are good options. In Canada: Elecgreen Solutions Ltd. Hope that helps you out.

what is a combiner box? Sounds like a central point of failure to me
It's the same concept at a main service panel. It just combines the circuits before connecting to the backfeed breaker.
You can now buy Hoymiles microinverters directly from Hoymiles store on Amazon: amzn.to/3uBfn9W
pricing???

micro inverter be able to plug right into a outlet plug in your house
Can be done but not a recommended method. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
696VA does not equal watts 696VA is like 450-500w mmaybe 600w but not 696

ive never cared about warranties, waste of time, id rather no warraanty and cheaper price personally
