Hoymiles has launched its new AC-coupled Micro Storage solution at Intersolar Europe at an event attended by 140 partners and industry professionals.
VP Guy Rong shared the company’s latest innovations, including customized products and solutions tailored for different regions to meet local needs, commenting: “Since its establishment in 2012, Hoymiles has been dedicated to the development of microinverters. From 2021 onwards, our microinverter shipments have ranked second globally for three consecutive years. Hoymiles has been actively expanding into the European market since 2014, establishing a European headquarters in Frankfurt to provide localized products and services for our European customers. Today, the company is one of the top PV brands in Germany and the leading supplier of microinverters in the German balcony PV sector. But our journey doesn’t end here – Hoymiles is expanding from balcony PV to balcony storage. Today, we proudly introduce the world’s first AC-coupled micro storage product—MS Micro Storage.”
Unique Advantage 1: Install in 7 seconds flat
Currently, many micro storage or balcony solar storage products are difficult to install, with users needing to first disconnect the PV modules and microinverters, which is time-consuming and energy-draining. With Hoymiles’ MS Micro Storage, all customers need to do is unplug their microinverter, and connect Hoymiles MS between the microinverter and the power, completing the installation effortlessly in just 7 seconds.
Unique Advantage 2: Works with 100% of microinverter brands
Hoymiles Micro Storage is the world’s first AC-coupled balcony storage solution. As a result, it’s compatible with 100% of microinverter brands. Other typical storage inverters are DC-coupled, which means the DC power inflow (from the PV modules) has to be matched to the MPPT algorithm of the microinverter. With Hoymiles MS, this is no longer an issue. For homeowners looking for an energy storage solution that works out of the box with their existing solar equipment, Hoymiles MS is the ideal answer.
Unique Advantage 3: Off-Grid Mode
Hoymiles MS is one of the few solutions that allow off-grid mode, and can act as emergency backup power in areas where grid electricity can be unreliable. If the grid goes down, customers can connect key loads to the off-grid port. An additional benefit is that MS can also serve as a Portable Power Supply.
Hoymiles MS comes equipped with a 2.24 kWh battery and a Time of Use (TOU) mode, allowing it to discharge during peak hours and charge during off-peak hours, significantly reducing electricity bills. MS is also the first micro storage product to receive TÜV Rheinland cybersecurity certification.
During the Intersolar event, Hoymiles signed cooperation agreements with a number of local partners including München Energieprodukte, Tepto, YUMA and T&J Capital.
Chriskie Qiu, CEO of München Energieprodukte, delivered a speech on behalf of Hoymiles’ partners, commenting: “München Energieprodukte has been closely collaborating with Hoymiles since 2021. The MS Micro Storage product launched today features groundbreaking technological innovations and unique functionalities. I believe MS will meet the green energy needs of more users.”
