HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Yang Bo, Founder and CEO of Hoymiles, has been recognized by TIME as one of the 100 most influential leaders shaping climate action in its TIME100 Climate 2026 list. The honor highlights Dr. Yang's leadership in advancing solar technology and expanding access to clean energy. The recognition comes shortly after the company's HiFlow Pro microinverter was named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2026.

From Microinverter Pioneer to Global Energy Solutions Provider

Since founding Hoymiles in 2012, Yang has led the company through more than a decade of development in solar power electronics. Built on a strong R&D foundation, Hoymiles began with a focus on MLPE (module-level power electronics) and microinverter technology, and has since evolved into a global provider of solar and energy storage solutions. Today, its portfolio spans microinverters, string inverters, hybrid inverters and battery energy storage systems, serving residential, commercial and utility-scale applications.

With global cumulative shipments exceeding 5 million units across more than 190 countries and regions, Hoymiles has steadily expanded its global presence. Its growth reflects a long-term commitment to making energy technologies more efficient, flexible and accessible, while responding to the increasingly diverse needs of energy users around the world.

Making Distributed Solar More Accessible

A central part of this strategy is advancing distributed energy. As solar adoption expands beyond conventional rooftop installations, Hoymiles continues to develop technologies to lower barriers to the adoption of solar energy. Its HiFlow Pro microinverter is a notable example. As the first microinverter certified to meet North America's UL 3700 safety standard for PIPV, it brings a new level of accessibility to residential solar, particularly in the emerging plug-in balcony solar market.

Building a More Flexible Energy Future

Hoymiles' broader ambition is to support a more decentralized and resilient energy ecosystem for homes and businesses. By combining power electronics expertise with energy storage capabilities, the company is working to connect solar generation, energy management and storage in increasingly integrated ways.
"This recognition is not just a personal honor, but a tribute to Hoymiles and our team's 14 years of dedication to R&D and technological innovation," said Dr. Yang Bo, Founder and CEO of Hoymiles. "It inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of solar and energy storage technologies and make clean energy more accessible worldwide."
