Hoymiles Unveils Groundbreaking Backup Power Solutions
In light of the growing demand among homeowners for reliable backup power solutions, Hoymiles has stepped up to simplify the experience with the launch of its new products: HiSwitch and HiBox. These two innovative solutions are designed to work seamlessly with the all-in-one energy storage system, HiOne, to enable effortless transition to off-grid functioning.
Revolutionizing Backup Power with HiSwitch
The HiSwitch is an extraordinary compact switch that encompasses five essential functionalities into a single unit, providing a user-friendly experience for homeowners. By integrating a transfer switch, circuit breaker, meter, bypass switch, and current transformer, it significantly reduces the number of components needed for installation. This design not only simplifies the process but also conserves space, as HiSwitch is about the size of a standard electric meter and can be easily mounted directly within the distribution board using a DIN rail system. Consequently, this avoids the need for major wall drilling or re-routing of cables.
Its features include a maximum bypass current tolerance of 100A, making it capable of handling a diverse range of loads from lighting to kitchen appliances and other high-powered devices. Moreover, HiSwitch offers remarkable reliability with up to 6,000 high-current switching cycles and a short-circuit current rating of 6kA, ensuring smooth transitions to backup power while enhancing protection against unexpected electrical faults.
With a simplified replacement design, installers can opt to replace only the HiSwitch in case of malfunction rather than the entire energy storage system, significantly reducing service interruptions and cutting down replacement time by as much as 80%. This represented substantial cost savings for homeowners wishing to keep their backup systems running smoothly.
HiBox: Control and Expandability at Your Fingertips
Serving as a central hub for whole-home backup power, HiBox allows the energy system to evolve alongside the homeowner’s growing energy needs. This ingenious system supports scalability by simply adding a second inverter to boost the system’s capacity and enhance backup power capabilities.
HiBox also accommodates multiple power sources, from traditional generators to compatible photovoltaic inverters, ensuring comprehensive monitoring without requiring extra metering equipment. The smart load control via the Smart Port allows homeowners to maximize the benefits of the clean energy available, effectively reducing energy costs over time.
Towards a Resilient Energy Ecosystem
As touted by Guy Rong, Vice President of Hoymiles, “Whole-home backup power and ease of installation go hand in hand.” The introduction of HiBox and HiSwitch represents a significant advancement in creating resilient residential energy systems that integrate all components within a unified energy ecosystem.
Combining the strengths of HiOne, HiBox, and HiSwitch, Hoymiles is dedicated to empowering more households to transition toward smarter and more resilient energy independence. By making these innovative products available, Hoymiles aims to help homeowners enjoy reliable backup power without complexities, further enhancing their energy security.
