So we have just added the Hoysmiles micro inverter 800W.
I was reading around from various sources and the old version ( without W)  required a DTU, a wifi dongle and apparently it was good to hack with openDTU project. Im not sure of the new 800W as they are really new (April 2024) but I find all the inverter software seems to be the same in their 5 minute delay in updates if you get a good wifi connection.

Apparently this is more "robust" and while we have the Deye 800w inverter Deye dont like the UK it would appear as they are not fast at dealing with the ENA.
Which is very odd as Sunsynk is and they are the same company!! but Hoysmiles are on the ball and thats what matters if you are in the UK.

I shall be ordering in stock, this will let me know what they are like and I will get them set up and tested, apparently they are "better" but ill be the judge of that myself. hopefully there is some hacking to be done to make these localized ( no china network issues) which is the same as I have done for the Growatt inverters.

 

I have hammered home the Not plug in or plug and socket, you can use a AC isolator but you should add protection before the unit is connected, this is because your power source is the other side of the breaker and RCD if its plugged in, so you don't get the protection. hence why I mention it is a faff to address the details of plug in solar. Its off they did do this in many of the European markets where these are "legal".

The rules were updated on April 1st 2024 they added a "special plug and socket" and the only information I read was that it was a dedicated circuit. This would make the installation  A typical installation as we would normally have with solar installations.

I should also note that these are like the Enphase systems with AC inverting at the panel. and they could be linked together to provide a bigger solar installation when installed correctly.
