Company Info

Hoymiles claims to be the number two microinverter supplier globally - it's assumed that claim is based on numbers shipped. Number one would be Enphase. 

Hoymiles boasts 4 manufacturing bases and more than 1,600 employees globally. While the company been producing microinverters and hybrid inverters for quite a few years, it's a reasonably new player in the Australian market. 

Hoymiles Inverters In Australia

For the Australian market, Hoymiles has Clean Energy Council approved microinverters and hybrid inverters available.

Hoymiles Microinverters

The first Hoymiles microinverter products to be approved for use in Australia were the HME-1200-AU and HME-1500-AU. Unlike most other microinverters available in Australia, these and some other Hoymiles models can support up to four solar panels - but there are also models with just single or dual panel support.

But Hoymiles doesn't stop at 4-panel support. In June 2024, the company unveiled three new 8-in-1 microinverter models, which as at December 2024 aren't yet CEC approved for use in Australia. 

Part of the microinverter family of products is the Hoymiles gateway DTU-Pro-S, a gateway unit that collects information from the microinverters and transmits that to the S-Miles Cloud, which is utilised by the Hoymiles Monitoring Platform. This enables the end-user/installer to see module-level data and alerts, and carry out updates.

Since the first Hoymiles microinverter products were approved for use in Australia in July 2022, a bunch of others have been given the tick by the CEC. So, there's already a wide range available, or at least certified for use, in Australia.

Hoymiles Hybrid Inverters

While having a special focus on microinverters and related peripherals, Hoymiles also manufactures hybrid inverters. 

The HYS series are single phase inverters with dimensions of 502 × 461× 202mm and weigh 25kg. There's only one MPPT and maximum efficiency is 97.6%. The HYS series supports self-consumption, economic and backup modes, and has IP65 protection.

The HYT series are three-phase hybrid inverters available in capacities ranging from 5kW to 12kW. All inverters in this range measure 502 × 486 × 202mm and weigh 26kg. The HYT have the same modes as the HYS, offer a maximum efficiency of 98%, 2 MPPTs and an ingress rating of IP65.

As with its microinverters, monitoring and management of Hoymiles hybrid inverters is through the S-Miles Cloud.

Warranty Information

Hoymiles microinverters are accompanied by a 12 year product warranty that can be extended to 25 years. The DTU gateway has a warranty of 3 years. For hybrid inverters, the product warranty is 10 years.

Our initial communications with the company indicated Hoymiles was pretty keen to get its products in front of Australians and to build a good name here. If you're already using Hoymiles microinverters or hybrid inverters, let us know your thoughts on their performance so far by leaving a review.
