How does the SunEnergyXT DTU work in conjunction with Hoymiles inverters?

The SunEnergyXT Dual-Mode NRF/CMT OpenDTU connects your HM or HMS series Hoymiles inverters to your SunEnergyXT balcony power plant. It acts as a central data interface through which performance information is collected and transmitted to your monitoring system. This allows you to control energy production, efficiency, and power usage in real time.

Compatible inverter models:

Manufacturer Model Firmware Requirement Serial Number
Deye M80 / M200 from V0.2.4.0 >2308xxx
APsystems EZ1-M
Hoymiles HM / HMS

Note: HMS-W series inverters with Wi-Fi support are not supported.

What are the technical specifications of the SunEnergyXT DTU?

The SunEnergyXT DTU is characterized by its compact and robust design. Thanks to dual-mode technology (NRF/CMT), it ensures stable communication with various solar system components.

Technical data:

Component Dimensions Weight
DTU Main Module 55 x 44 x 44 mm 82 g
Antenna 88 x 30 x 10 mm

The scope of delivery includes the main module and a high-quality antenna for signal amplification.

Why is the DTU necessary for monitoring your balcony power plant?

Without a DTU, your Hoymiles inverter cannot transmit performance data to your monitoring system. The SunEnergyXT DTU acts as a communication bridge and enables complete control over energy production and consumption. Especially in combination with a BK215 storage unit and a Shelly Pro 3 EM, it offers professional energy management in the smallest space.

How is the SunEnergyXT DTU installed?

Installation is simple and requires no special expertise. After connecting to the balcony power plant, the DTU automatically connects to the inverter. You can then retrieve all relevant data via your preferred monitoring interface (e.g., OpenDTU web interface). Setup usually takes only a few minutes.

What are the advantages of the 0% VAT benefit for private customers?

When purchasing the SunEnergyXT DTU, private individuals in Germany benefit from 0% VAT according to §12 para. 3 UStG. This regulation applies if you are an operator of a photovoltaic system and operate the system on or near a residential building. This makes the purchase significantly cheaper and facilitates entry into solar energy.
