Paulcupine Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 The Hoymiles micro-inverter ecosystem includes the Hoymiles RS485 grid meter (eg. https://www.futurama.co.za/ellies-single-phase-hoymiles-consumption-meter-rs485/). I already have a CG ET112 grid meter as part of my Victron system however. Are these meters operating on some sort of standard? Can I expect the existing ET112 to be compatible with the Hoymiles microinverters? I'm considering adding some Hoymiles based grid-tie PV on the input side of my Victron system, and part of what I need to figure out is how to prevent grid feedback. P Quote
Jordaan Botha Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 Have you tried this and if so, did you manage to stop the export to the grid? Quote
Paulcupine Posted November 29, 2021 Author Posted November 29, 2021 Didn't try... Last I checked the Hoymiles inverters were unobtanium Quote
Greglsh Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 I got a Hoymiles 1500w off one of the forum members. He did a direct order to Hoymiles overseas. Working well. When I asked Ellie's they said they wanted to sell their existing stock before bringing in the bigger inverters. Quote
Paulcupine Posted November 30, 2021 Author Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks. I'm kind of over the idea now. If I expand my system I'll most likely add another Fronius. These integrate well with the Victron eco-system. Quote
Jordaan Botha Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I have 3x 600watt Hoymiles inverters and the DTU-Pro, if someone is interested? 0796951133 Jorrie Edited December 7, 2021 by Jordaan Botha Quote
Speedster Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 For the Hoymiles marked as 2 or 4 panel inverters. Do they work with less than that amount, or do you need to connect up the full number? Quote
