Hoymiles, a major manufacturer of microinverters and residential energy systems, has teamed up with TÜV SÜD — one of the world's leading technical inspection and certification bodies — to release a joint white paper on residential energy storage for 2026. The collaboration signals a growing push to standardize quality and safety expectations in the fast-expanding home battery market, where residential PV-plus-storage systems are becoming increasingly mainstream across Europe and beyond.
Why this white paper matters for solar-plus-storage buyers
The white paper is expected to address key technical areas including inverter-battery compatibility, grid integration requirements, self-consumption optimization, and emerging safety standards. These topics are directly relevant to the EU's Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) and the upcoming Battery Passport framework, which will require greater transparency in battery supply chains and performance data.
