I have 4 circuits coming down off my roof, circuit #1: has 1HOYMILES MI-300 MICRO INVERTERS, and 2 HOYMILES MI-1200 MICRO INVERTERS. Circuit #2 has: 1 HOYMILES MI-300 MICRO INVERTERS, and 2 HOYMILES MI-1200 MICRO INVERTERS. Circuit #3 has: 1 HOYMILES MI-300 MICRO INVERTERS, and 2 HOYMILES MI-1200 MICRO INVERTERS. Circuit #4 has: 1 HOYMILES MI-300 MICRO INVERTERS, 1 HOYMILES MI-600 MICRO INVERTERS, 2 HOYMILES MI-1200 MICRO INVERTERS going into 125A RATED COMBINER PANEL then over to 60A RATED NON-FUSED AC DISCONNECT

Asked by Robert edwards ·

Hi Robert, The Sol-Ark 18K does support AC-coupled solar, so it may be able to work with your existing Hoymiles microinverter array, but our team will need to confirm compatibility with your specific microinverters and setup. The 18K is rated for a Max. AC Coupled Input of 19,200W, with 18,000W continuous output, 36,000W surge (10s), 120/240 grid voltage and an integrated 200A AC output breaker. To check your array against that 19,200W limit, it helps to have the continuous AC output rating from the nameplate of each microinverter model (MI-300, MI-600 and MI-1200). Our team will then confirm whether the Hoymiles units can be AC coupled to the 18K and how your 125A combiner panel and 60A AC disconnect would tie in. Because this involves your home wiring and an existing grid-connected solar system, for help designing the system, call 877-242-2792 or email info@shopsolarkits.com.
