Hoymiles HoyUltra 2 Sets New Standard for Silent C&I Energy Storage with ≤60 dB Certification
As commercial and industrial energy storage systems (ESS) expand into urban environments, noise levels have become a critical factor for project approval. From commercial centers to residential-adjacent installations, developers must now meet strict acoustic requirements alongside performance and safety standards.
The Hoymiles HoyUltra 2 (HESS-261-2h) has achieved a major milestone, securing ≤60 dB(A) noise level certification under the ISO 3744:2010 standard, positioning it among the quietest C&I battery storage systems in the industry.
Certified Silence: ≤60 dB vs Industry Standard 65–75 dB
Typical commercial energy storage systems operate between:
- 65–75 dB(A) (comparable to loud conversation or office noise)
The HoyUltra 2 delivers:
- ≤60 dB(A) certified noise level
- Measured 47.4 dB(A) under operational conditions
- Comparable to a quiet library or calm indoor environment
This significant reduction opens new deployment opportunities in noise-sensitive locations.
Tested Under ISO 3744:2010 – Real Acoustic Validation
The noise evaluation was conducted by the Zhejiang Electric Safety and Quality Inspection Center, following ISO 3744:2010 standards.
Key testing conditions:
- Professional semi-anechoic chamber
- Background noise: 24 dB (quieter than a bedroom at night)
- Full-cycle testing including:
- Maximum charge
- Maximum discharge
- Continuous operation
Results confirmed:
- Stable low noise even at full load
- No mechanical hum or fluctuation
- Consistent acoustic performance
Why Low Noise Matters in C&I Energy Storage
Noise is increasingly a project approval barrier in:
- Urban commercial districts
- Mixed-use developments
- Residential-adjacent installations
- Industrial parks with environmental restrictions
Lower noise enables:
- Faster permitting approval
- Wider installation flexibility
- Reduced community resistance
- Compliance with local regulations
Seamless Integration in Urban & Commercial Environments
With noise levels as low as 47.4 dB(A), HoyUltra 2 is ideal for:
- Commercial business centers
- Logistics hubs near residential zones
- Office complexes
- Industrial parks
- Urban solar + storage projects
This makes it a strong solution for space-constrained and regulation-sensitive deployments.

- Structural alignment with acoustic performance
- System-level quiet engineering
High Performance Beyond Silence
The HoyUltra 2 is not only quiet — it is engineered for high performance:
- Round-trip efficiency: up to 90.3%
- Full-capacity operation at 50°C (no derating)
- IP55 protection rating
- 3-level, 6-type safety protection system
- Edge EMS with local APP for monitoring and O&M
This combination ensures reliable performance in demanding commercial environments.
Ideal Applications
The HoyUltra 2 is particularly suited for:
- Urban C&I solar + storage projects
- Commercial buildings near residential zones
- Industrial parks with noise limits

- High-temperature operating environments
Solar&Solar Perspective: Noise Is Now a Key Procurement Factor
In today’s European and global markets, project developers increasingly evaluate:
- Acoustic performance
- Environmental compliance
- Community impact
- Installation flexibility
Low-noise ESS solutions provide a competitive advantage in:
- Tender approvals
- Urban project pipelines
- Mixed-use developments
The HoyUltra 2 addresses a growing market demand where performance alone is no longer enough — silence matters.
Conclusion: Removing the Noise Barrier in Energy Storage
The Hoymiles HoyUltra 2 sets a new benchmark for commercial energy storage by combining:
- ≤60 dB certified noise performance
- Fully liquid-cooled architecture
- High efficiency and thermal stability
- Urban deployment readiness
By removing the “noise barrier,” it enables energy storage systems to expand into environments where traditional solutions struggle.
Quiet, powerful, and engineered for modern energy infrastructure — HoyUltra 2 redefines what C&I storage can achieve.
