Hoymiles has officially launched its new HiBattery 4020 Series, marking the arrival of its third-generation home battery system. This series introduces the HiBattery 4020 X, a hybrid model that connects directly to solar PV modules, alongside the HiBattery 4020 AC, which is designed to integrate with existing home solar setups to provide energy storage. Both models come with improved battery capacity and utilize advanced protection features along with a self-developed AI algorithm, aimed at enhancing safety, efficiency, and potential savings on energy costs for homeowners.
Enhanced Performance and Energy Autonomy
The HiBattery 4020 Series offers significant upgrades from previous versions, providing more capacity and flexibility for home energy storage:
- Each model has a 4 kWh battery capacity, which can be expanded to 16 kWh using additional modular battery packs.
- They include a built-in 2500 W inverter that ensures effective power conversion with a top efficiency of 96.5%, optimizing energy use.
- The HiBattery 4020 X has four MPPT inputs and can manage up to 4 kW from solar panels for maximum solar energy capture.
This innovative system allows homeowners to reduce their dependency on the grid by making better use of solar energy. Moreover, it guarantees a continuous power supply for essential devices like refrigerators, lights, and medical equipment during power outages. It’s also suitable for off-grid living, whether in remote areas or for those pursuing self-sufficient lifestyles.
Smart Energy Management and Cost Savings
At the heart of the HiBattery 4020 Series is Hoymiles’ AI Energy Management System (AI-EMS). This technology is built around a sophisticated AI model trained with a vast amount of data.
Unlike traditional systems that follow a fixed schedule, the HiBattery 4020 reevaluates energy strategies every three hours based on electricity prices, weather forecasts, and individual energy use patterns. Key features include:
- AI-TOU Optimization: This feature automatically adjusts charging and discharging every three hours to take advantage of lower electricity rates.
- Energy Ledger: Users can access a simple, visual dashboard to monitor their energy use, savings, and overall system performance in real time.
Safety and Dependability for Everyday Life
Safety is a top priority for the HiBattery 4020 Series. Constructed with high-quality LiFePO4 battery cells, the system includes an advanced 48-layer Battery Management System (BMS) and various safety mechanisms:
- An integrated aerosol fire suppression system.
- Protection against overheating and pressure build-up.
- Intelligent self-heating features for stable operation in extreme temperatures, ranging from -20℃ to 55℃.
- An IP66 rating for dust and water resistance.
- Efficient compatibility between new and existing battery modules, making scalability easy.
These safety features ensure that the HiBattery 4020 system is durable and reliable for both indoor and outdoor use, even in unexpected situations.
“The safety of home energy storage is essential for it to be really accessible,” stated Dr. Yang Bo, CEO of Hoymiles. “The HiBattery is created to offer reassurance in every situation, from daily living to emergencies.”
The HiBattery 4020 Series is set to hit the market in Europe starting June 2026.
