Hoymiles Unveils HiBattery 4020 Series to Strengthen Home Energy Storage Market in Europe
MUNICH: Hoymiles Power Electronics has expanded its presence in the home energy storage market with the global launch of its new HiBattery 4020 series, introducing a range of smart and high-safety rechargeable batteries designed to meet the growing demand for residential energy independence.
The launch took place during a special event themed The Unbreakable Night held in Munich on June 22, where the company showcased the latest advancements in home energy storage technology to more than 180 industry leaders, distributors, strategic partners and media representatives from across Europe.
The HiBattery 4020 series represents a significant milestone for Hoymiles as the company moves beyond its traditional microinverter business into a broader ecosystem of integrated home energy solutions.
According to Hoymiles Chief Executive Officer Dr Yang Bo, the new series is the result of years of research and development in plug-in energy storage technology, with a strong emphasis on safety, reliability and intelligent energy management.
“The HiBattery 4020 series marks an important transition for Hoymiles from being a leader in microinverters to becoming a provider of comprehensive home energy solutions.
“Our goal is to deliver products that are safe, reliable and capable of giving homeowners greater confidence in managing their energy needs,” he said during the launch ceremony.
The new lineup consists of two main models — the HiBattery 4020 X and the HiBattery 4020 AC — both designed to address different residential energy requirements.
The HiBattery 4020 X is the company’s first hybrid battery capable of connecting directly to photovoltaic modules.
It supports solar input of up to 4,000 watts through four independent MPPT channels, making it suitable for more sophisticated rooftop and balcony solar installations.
Meanwhile, the HiBattery 4020 AC is designed for homeowners with existing solar systems who wish to expand their storage capacity without making significant changes to their current setup.
Hoymiles said one of the biggest advantages of the HiBattery 4020 series is its cable-free modular design, which allows storage capacity to be expanded easily from 4kWh to 16kWh.
The system also offers DC and AC efficiency of up to 96.5 per cent, enabling it to power a wide range of household appliances efficiently.
In terms of safety, the battery uses automotive-grade lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, a chemistry known for its thermal stability and long lifespan.
The series is further equipped with a multi-layer battery management system, aerosol fire suppression technology and an IP66 protection rating to ensure reliable operation in various environmental conditions.
Hoymiles has also integrated artificial intelligence into the system to optimise energy consumption based on dynamic electricity tariffs.
Users can monitor real-time energy costs and consumption through the Energy Ledger dashboard, giving homeowners greater visibility over their energy usage and savings.
The HiBattery 4020 series received additional recognition at the event when it was awarded the prestigious EUPD Innovation Award for excellence in safety and innovation.
The award was presented by EUPD Research chief executive Markus AW Hoehner, who praised the product’s contribution to advancing residential energy storage technologies.
The launch also featured the Unbreakable Alliance ceremony, celebrating Hoymiles’ partnerships with 25 major European customers and reaffirming the company’s commitment to long-term collaboration in the region.
Hoymiles Vice President Guy Rong said the company believes the HiBattery 4020 series will serve as the foundation of a smarter and more sustainable residential energy ecosystem.
“We are not just launching another battery product.
“We are building an energy ecosystem that enables homeowners to manage energy in a safer, smarter and more flexible way,” he said.
As Europe continues its transition towards decentralised and renewable energy systems, Hoymiles expects the integration of solar power and battery storage to play a crucial role in shaping the future of residential energy consumption.
