Now there's finally simple solar for apartment dwellers, condo owners and renters, in a smaller kit that fits almost any sunny spot!
- Easy, quick self-install solar power for your balcony, fence or railing
- Offsets a portion of your daytime power use while the sun is shining
- Lightweight, flexible panels. Take it with you when you move!
What's included
- Two 175W flexible solar panels (Renogy, 5-year product warranty, 25-year power warranty), each with attached cables and MC4 connectors
- Stainless steel UV-resistant panel ties (200-lb tensile strength, UL 62275 Type 2)
- One set of MC4 solar extension cables
- One Hoymiles HMS-360 plug-in microinverter with a power cord (UL 1741 / UL 3700, 12-year warranty)
Monitoring is through the free S-Miles Home app. No battery is included.
How it works
The panels turn sunlight into electricity, and the Hoymiles microinverter makes it usable for your home. Mount the panels in a sunny spot following Renogy's installation requirements, connect the panels to the microinverter, and plug the system into a suitable outdoor outlet. Watch your solar production in the app. Your home uses your solar power first, so you draw less from the grid while the sun is shining.
Before you install
You will need a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet, and any circuit or outlet work is a job for a qualified electrician. Check the rules where you live: state, local government, your utility, and your landlord or HOA if you have one, before you buy or install. This is grid-connected solar that works alongside your utility service, not backup power during an outage.
350W is rated panel capacity, not guaranteed production. Actual output depends on sunlight, placement and temperature. Check with your utility that your meter and billing can handle exported solar before buying.
Certifications and warranty
Per Hoymiles' published specifications, the HMS-360 microinverter is certified to UL 1741, UL 3700 and IEEE 1547. These are component-level certifications for the microinverter itself, not a certification of a whole plug-in solar system. Hoymiles covers the microinverter with a 12-year manufacturer warranty. Renogy covers the panels with a 5-year material and workmanship warranty and a 25-year power output warranty.
