Hoymiles has officially launched the HiFlow Pro, a groundbreaking microinverter designed specifically for the emerging balcony solar market in the United States. This device holds the distinction of being the first in the region to achieve certification under UL 3700, a newly established safety standard tailored for plug-in solar technologies.
Setting a New Safety Standard
The UL 3700 certification is a critical development for the North American renewable energy sector. It provides a dedicated safety framework for "plug-and-play" solar systems, which are increasingly popular among apartment dwellers and renters who cannot install traditional rooftop arrays. By meeting these rigorous requirements, the HiFlow Pro ensures that balcony solar installations are both reliable and compliant with local electrical safety codes.
Expanding Solar Accessibility
The introduction of the HiFlow Pro is expected to lower the barrier to entry for residential solar adoption. As a microinverter optimized for smaller, modular setups, it allows users to generate their own clean energy simply by plugging the system into a standard outlet. This launch signals a shift toward more flexible, user-friendly energy solutions in the U.S. market, mirroring trends already established in Europe.
