Hoymiles Unveils Innovative Solutions for Whole-Home Backup Power Systems
As homeowners increasingly seek reliable backup power for their entire homes, traditional solutions often fall short due to their complexity and limited flexibility. To address these challenges, Hoymiles has introduced two groundbreaking products: the HiSwitch and HiBox gateway. These devices are engineered to work in conjunction with the HiOne All-in-One Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling a seamless transition to autonomous operation. As a result, homeowners will find backup power solutions more manageable, expandable, and practical than ever.
Simplified Whole-Home Power Backup with HiSwitch
One of the standout features of the HiSwitch is its five-in-one design, which integrates a switch, circuit breaker, meter, bypass switch, and CT into a single unit. This compact solution minimizes the number of components and wiring required, reducing installation work significantly. With a size comparable to a standard electric meter, the HiSwitch installs directly within the distribution board without the need for wall drilling or extensive wiring modifications.
The HiSwitch boasts a maximum bypass current of 100 A, supporting a range of loads, from lighting and kitchen appliances to high-power devices. It is designed to offer 6,000 switching cycles at high current levels, along with a Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of 6 kA, ensuring reliable transitions to backup power and enhanced protection against electrical failures.
Another key benefit is the reduced need for components when replacements are necessary. If a malfunction occurs, technicians only need to replace the HiSwitch rather than the entire energy storage system, leading to up to 80% shorter replacement times and consequently lower downtime and service costs.
Introducing HiBox: A Central Hub for Energy Management
The HiBox serves as the central hub for the whole-home backup power system, offering room for expansion as household energy needs grow. Some critical features include:
- - Expandable System: Homeowners can easily add a second inverter to increase system and backup capacity as energy requirements increase.
- - Multi-Source Power Supply: The HiBox supports compatible generators and third-party PV inverters, enabling comprehensive data monitoring without needing additional measurement devices.
- - Smart Load Management: Loads connected through Smart Ports can be intelligently managed, helping homeowners utilize available clean energy effectively.
Creating a Robust Energy Ecosystem
"A whole-home backup power system should not compromise installation flexibility," remarks Guy Rong, Vice President of Hoymiles. "With the HiBox and HiSwitch, we provide two innovative solutions that enable resilient energy systems for homeowners while keeping everything within one integrated energy ecosystem."
By combining the HiOne, HiBox, and HiSwitch, Hoymiles aims to assist more families in achieving smarter and more resilient energy independence.
