Chinese microinverter manufacturer Hoymiles launched what it says is the largest and most efficient three-phase microinverter on the solar market to date at the SNEC trade show in Shanghai, China, this week.
“Our new MIT-5000-8T microinverter is approximately 20% less expensive than smaller microinverters,” a company spokesperson said. pv magazine. “It is particularly suitable for large homes and commercial buildings.”
One of the key features of the new product is the wide MPPT voltage range, which runs from 12 V to 136 V. “The low input voltage minimizes the risk of arc faults and electric shock,” the spokesperson continued. “The series is designed for eight solar panels, with an output power of up to 5,000 VA and an input current of up to 20 A.
The microinverter measures 395mm x 308mm x 60mm and weighs 8.6kg. The peak efficiency is 97.70% and the European efficiency is 96.80%. The rated MPPT efficiency is 99.8% and the night power consumption is less than 50 mW. The rated power is 5 kW.
The new product has a maximum input voltage of 140 V and four MPPTs, with one input for each MPPT. It also features natural convection cooling And IP67 rated protection.
The MIT-5000-8T microinverter is part of a new series that includes two more products: the MIT-4000-8T and the MIT-4500-8T, each of which also accommodates eight modules. They have a power of 4 kW and 4.5 kW respectively and their peak efficiency ranges from 97.50% to 97.60%. Their size and weight are the same as the MIT-5000-8T model.
“All products rely on a Sub-1G wireless solution that guarantees stable communication with our gateway DTU,” the spokesperson explains. “This enables module-level monitoring and remote O&M.”
