HiOne is an all-in-one photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solution designed for residential and light commercial applications. Built around the core concept of a “highly integrated, user-centric home energy hub,” it combines a PV inverter, battery PCS, battery pack, and Energy Management System (EMS) into a single device. This creates a true all-in-one residential energy storage system. Through a comprehensive reconstruction of system architecture, HiOne consolidates previously fragmented energy equipment into a unified, efficient energy node, offering users a clearer, more controllable, and easier-to-understand experience. Traditional home storage systems are often composed of multiple distinct devices requiring complex wiring and retrofitting, which consumes space and raises barriers to installation and use. HiOne reduces installation space requirements by approximately 20% and allows for deployment in as little as 15 minutes. The system supports whole-home backup and graded backup power, featuring 0ms seamless off-grid switching to ensure critical appliances run uninterrupted during blackouts or grid anomalies. With a visual interface and App-based remote O&M, users gain immediate insight into power generation, storage, and consumption, realizing a truly "visible, controllable, and manageable" approach to home energy. Compared to similar products, HiOne stands out for its deep system-level integration and expandability. It offers flexible storage capacity ranging from 8 to 64 kWh. It is compatible with the mixed use of old and new batteries as well as multi-unit parallel connections, adapting to diverse household needs. The system features built-in 8-period Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing strategies and multiple operating modes to automatically optimize energy dispatch, maximizing self-consumption and economic efficiency. Long-term safety is guaranteed by five-layer battery protection, cell-level temperature control, and independent fire suppression modules, delivering a cycle life of approximately 8,000 cycles. Furthermore, integrated with V2X capabilities, it can connect to virtual power plants and is designed for the evolution of future energy networks.
