  "account": "Hangzhou, China, August 24, 2026 - Hoymiles has introduced two new residential energy storage systems, HiSwitch and HiBox, aimed at simplifying whole-home backup solutions. Traditional backup methods often involve complex installations and limited flexibility, but the new HiSwitch and HiBox systems aim to address these issues by offering a more practical and expandable approach.\n\nThe HiSwitch system is a five-in-one solution that integrates a transfer switch, circuit breaker, meter, bypass switch, and transformer current transformer (CT). This compact design, comparable to a standard electricity meter, is installed directly inside the distribution board via a DIN-rail system, eliminating the need for wall drilling or extensive cable rerouting. The HiSwitch supports bypass current up to 100 A and boasts 6,000 high-current switching cycles, ensuring dependable backup transitions and stronger protection against unexpected electrical faults.\n\nIn contrast, the HiBox serves as a professional control hub for whole-home backup systems, allowing for expansion as household energy needs grow. Key features of the HiBox include support for an expandable system through the addition of a second inverter, multi-source power supply with compatibility for third-party generators and PV inverters, and smart load control for intelligently managing connected loads. This all-in-one ecosystem aims to provide homeowners with more ways to build energy resilience within a single, integrated energy system.",
