It features four independent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) channels, allowing each connected solar panel to operate at its optimal power output, even under varying conditions like shading or dust accumulation.
Key Features:
- High-performance microinverter with 2000 VA nominal output and 2400 Watt peak power.
- 96.5% CEC efficiency for maximum solar power production.
- MPPT technology minimizes impacts of shading, dust, or aging on individual panels.
- Compatible with up to four solar panels (400W to 670W+ per module).
- Integrated protection functions for enhanced safety and durability.
- IP67 enclosure rating for robust outdoor use.
- Easy installation, ideal for balcony and rooftop solar systems.
- Features a quick shutdown mechanism and isolated transformer.

4. Setup and Installation
The HMS-2000-4T is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these general steps:
- Mounting: Securely mount the microinverter to the solar panel racking system or a suitable surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit for heat dissipation.
- DC Connection: Connect the DC cables from each solar panel to the corresponding input ports on the microinverter. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The microinverter supports up to four solar panels.
- AC Connection: Connect the AC output cable from the microinverter to your home's electrical grid or a dedicated balcony power plant connection point. This typically involves a grid connection cable (not included) and may require an electrician for final connection to the main electrical panel.
- Grounding: Ensure the microinverter is properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
- Monitoring (Optional): For monitoring performance, a Hoymiles Data Transfer Unit (DTU) is required (sold separately). Connect the DTU to the microinverter system to enable data collection and remote monitoring via the Hoymiles app or web portal.
- Power On: Once all connections are secure and verified, switch on the AC breaker to energize the microinverter. The unit will begin its startup sequence and, if conditions are suitable, start producing power.

5. Operating Instructions
The Hoymiles HMS-2000-4T Microinverter operates automatically once properly installed and connected to the grid. It will begin converting DC power from your solar panels into AC power whenever sufficient sunlight is available.
- Automatic Operation: The microinverter automatically starts and stops based on sunlight availability and grid conditions.
- MPPT Functionality: The integrated MPPT technology continuously optimizes the power output from each connected solar panel, maximizing energy harvest throughout the day.
- Monitoring: To view real-time performance data, historical energy production, and system status, use a Hoymiles DTU (Data Transfer Unit) and the associated monitoring platform (e.g., S-Miles Cloud). This allows you to track the output of each individual module.
- Grid Interaction: The microinverter is designed to safely interact with the electrical grid, adhering to relevant standards and regulations.
6. Maintenance
The Hoymiles HMS-2000-4T Microinverter is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust construction and IP67 protection rating. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the microinverter and all cables for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the microinverter with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the cooling fins are free from debris to maintain optimal heat dissipation.
- Performance Monitoring: Regularly check the system's performance via the monitoring platform (if a DTU is installed) to ensure it is operating efficiently.
- Professional Inspection: Consider having a qualified technician perform a professional inspection of your solar system, including the microinverter, every few years.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hoymiles HMS-2000-4T Microinverter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power Output:
- Check if the AC breaker is switched on.
- Verify all DC and AC cable connections are secure.
- Ensure there is sufficient sunlight on the solar panels.
- Check the monitoring system for error codes (if DTU is installed).
- Low Power Output:
- Inspect solar panels for shading, dirt, or damage.
- Verify that the solar panels are clean.
- Check the monitoring system for any performance anomalies.
- Communication Issues (with DTU):
- Ensure the DTU is powered on and within range of the microinverter.
- Check network connectivity for the DTU.
- Refer to the DTU's specific manual for troubleshooting communication problems.
- Unusual Noises or Smells:
- Immediately disconnect power to the microinverter.
- Contact customer support or a qualified electrician.
For persistent issues, please contact Hoymiles customer support or a certified service technician.
