Technical Data

Warning

Be sure to verify the following before installing the Hoymiles Microinverter System. Verify that the voltage and current specifications of the PV module must match those of the microinverter. The maximum open circuit voltage rating of the PV module must within the operating voltage range of the microinverter. The maximum current rating at MPP is recommended to be equal to or less than the maximum input DC current. But the maximum short circuit current must be equal to or less than the maximum input
DC short circuit current. The output DC power of the PV module is NOT recommended to exceed 1.35 times the output AC power of the microinverter. Refer to “Hoymiles Warranty Terms & Conditions” for more information.
