3.2 About Microinverter
PV Microinverter is a module-level solar inverter that tracks the maximum DC power point of each PV module, which is known as Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).
This function of module-level MPPT means that when a PV module fails or is shaded, other modules will not
be affected, boosting the overall power production of the system.
Microinverter can monitor the current, voltage and power of each module to realize module-level data monitoring.
Moreover, microinverter only carries a few dozen volts of DC voltage (less than 80 volts), which reduces safety hazards to the greatest extent.
Hoymiles microinverters feature module-level monitoring. Microinverter data are collected by DTU via wireless transmission and are sent to Hoymiles motoring platform S-Miles Cloud.

About Product

3.3 About 2-in-1 Unit
Microinverters can be divided into 1-in-1, 2-in-1, 4-in-1, etc., depending on how many PV modules are connected to them. This means that the microinverter can connect to one module, two modules and four modules respectively, as shown below.

Sub-1G Microinverter

Sub-1G

Sub-1G

This manual is about Hoymiles 2-in-1 microinverter. With peak output power up to 1000 VA, Hoymiles new HMS-1000 series rank among the highest for 2-in-1 microinverters.
Each microinverter connects to two PV modules at most with independent MPPT and monitoring, enabling greater energy harvest and easier maintenance.
3.4 About Sub-1G Technology
HMS-1000 series of microinverter adopts the new Sub-1G wireless solution which enables more stable communication with Hoymiles gateway DTU. Sub-1G technology is particularly useful for PV microinverters and is different from 2.4GHz in that it has substantially longer range and better interference suppression performance.
Range of Sub-1GHz wireless: Unlike Wi-Fi or Zigbee which both operate on the 2.4 GHz band, Sub-1GHz operates on the 868 MHz or the 915 MHz band. Generally speaking, Sub-1GHz wireless transmission covers 1.5 to 2 times longer distance than the 2.4GHz spectrum.
Interference: Sub-1GHz wireless networking can handle interference better. This is because it operates on a lower frequency, so the communication between the microinverter and the DTU is more stable. As a result, it is especially useful in industrial or commercial PV power plants.
Lower Power Consumption: Sub-1GHz wireless communication uses less power than Wi-Fi or Zigbee.
Because of the long range and better interference suppression performance, Sub-1GHz networking is particularly well-suited for rooftop PV power stations.
3.5 Highlights
– Peak output power up to 700/800/900/1000 W
– Peak efficiency 96.50%
– Static MPPT efficiency 99.80%, Dynamic MPPT efficiency 99.76% in overcast weather
– Power factor (adjustable) 0.8 leading……0.8 lagging
– Sub-1G for stronger communication with DTU
– High reliability: NEMA 6 enclosure, 6000 V surge protection

Troubleshooting

6.3 On-site Inspection (For qualified installer only)
Troubleshoot a malfunctioning microinverter according to the following steps.

1

Check if the utility voltage and frequency are within the respective range shown in Technical Data section of this manual.

Check the connection to the utility grid.

Disconnect the AC and the DC power. Please note that when the inverter is in operation, disconnect

the AC power first to de-energize the inverter, and then disconnect the DC power.

2

Re-connect the PV modules to the microinverter. LED will flash red to indicate normal DC connection.

Re-connect the AC power. LED will flash green for five times to indicate normal DC and AC connection.

Never disconnect the DC wires while the microinverter is producing power. Re- connect the DC

module connectors and wait for five short LED flashes.

3

Check the interconnection between all the microinverters on the AC branch circuit. Confirm that each inverter is energized by the utility grid as described in the previous step.

4

Make sure that every AC breaker is functioning properly and is closed.

5

Check the DC connection between the microinverter and the PV module.

6

Make sure that PV modules’ DC voltage is within the allowable range shown in the Technical Data section of this manual.

7

If the problem persists, please call Hoymiles customer support.

Do not try to repair the microinverter by yourself. If the troubleshooting fails, please return it to the factory for replacement.

6.4 Routine Maintenance
1. Only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out the maintenance operations and are responsible for reporting any anomalies.
2. Always use personal protective equipment provided by the employer during maintenance operation.
3. During normal operation, check the environmental conditions regularly to make sure that the conditions have not changed over time and that the equipment is not exposed to adverse weather conditions and has not been obstructed.
4. DO NOT use the equipment if any problems are detected. Restore its working conditions after the fault is fixed.
5. Conduct annual inspections on various components, and clean the equipment with a vacuum cleaner or special brushes.

Do not attempt to dismantle or repair the microinverter! No user-serviceable parts inside for the safety and insulation reasons!
The AC output wiring harness (AC drop cable on the microinverter) cannot be replaced. The equipment should be scrapped if the cord is damaged.
Maintenance operations must be carried out with the equipment disconnected from the grid (power switch open) and the PV modules shaded or isolated, unless otherwise indicated.
Never clean the equipment with rags made of filamentary or corrosive materials to avoid corrosion and electrostatic charges.

Do not attempt to repair the product. All repairs should be done using only eligible spare parts.
If all the microinverters are connected to the DTU-Pro-S, the DTU can limit the output power imbalance of all the microinverters between phases to below 3.68 kW if required. Please refer to “Hoymiles Technical Note Limit Phase Balance” for more details.
