Power electronics firm Hoymiles has introduced a super microconverter designed for use in industrial, commercial, and large residential construction or solar projects. The company claims that the Hoymiles MiT 8-in-1, 5,000 W microinverter (MIT-5000-8T Series) is the most powerful on the market right for large-scale solar systems.

The MiT 8-in-1 super microinverter requires no replacement for 25 years, an improvement over traditional inverters that require replacement about every 10 years, according to Hoymiles. This saves on replacement and downtime costs.

Each input of the microinverter supports two photovoltaic (PV) modules connected in series, which is suitable for applications with safe DC voltage below 120 V. This eliminates DC high-voltage arcing, the most common cause of fire in PV systems.

The Hoymiles MiT super microinverter can be installed on nearly any roof, allowing for solar arrays to take better advantage of the available roof area. This minimizes the chance of less-than-ideal conditions affecting the performance of the array. Solar panels often have some areas in shadow, which the company claims could affect the performance of the entire solar array.

To generate maximum power, the Hoymiles MiT has four MPPTs (maximum power point trackers) that ensure each PV module generates the optimum output. The minimum MPPT voltage is as low as 12V, so the microinverter is up and running sooner and can work in dim light. Users get less downtime and more hours generating useful power, and ultimately, better ROI.

Hoymiles claims its inverter will work in extreme conditions, as the Hoymiles MiT is designed to operate efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 65℃. The microinverter has industrial-grade IP67 protection against rain, snow, wind, dirt, and dust.
