This year’s theme, “From Platform to Applications: Powering the B2B Ecosystem for AI Smartglasses,” reflects Solos’ growing focus on enabling partners across health, lifestyle, enterprise, and accessibility to build on its open ecosystem.

“Every year at this symposium, the conversations get more concrete,” said Kenneth Fan, co-founder of Solos. “The use cases are real, the partners are building, and the hardware is ready. With V2 available today and A6 on the horizon, we’re at an inflection point for what wearable AI can do in everyday life.”

Solos AirGo™ A6: A New Category of Everyday AI Smart Wearables

Designed for those who want AI always within reach without a camera in the frame, the AirGo™ A6 builds on the foundation of the AirGo™ A5 with a refined, fashion-first form for professionals, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who wants the benefits of wearable AI in eyewear they can wear comfortably from morning to night. The A6 features hands-free access to SolosChat™, automatic power-on/off, wake-word activation, and a simplified, instant-on experience. It supports full prescription lens compatibility and is powered by an open AI platform designed to evolve with SolosAI, SolosChat, the Solos SDK, and additional AI assistants, making A6 not just a product but a wearable that grows with the technology around it.

Fashion-First, Featherlight Design: ~19g before lenses, with eyewear-grade hinge durability targets and a transparent design language built to look and wear like premium eyewear, not a gadget.AI Personal Assistant: Ask, retrieve, and get things done hands-free.Full Rx Support: Complete prescription lens compatibility for everyday, all-day wear.Open-Ear Audio: Stay connected to calls, music, and AI responses while remaining aware of your surroundings.Everyday AI Toolkit: Voice memo capture, real-time translation, calls and messaging, calendar and reminders, and personalized audio tuning via the Solos App.

“With AirGo A6, we wanted to prove that AI glasses don’t have to look or feel like AI glasses,” said Fan. “At under 19 grams with full prescription support and fashion-first design, A6 is eyewear first and AI second, built in so naturally you forget it’s there until you need it.”

Introducing the Solos Privacy Kit

Alongside the AirGo™ V2, Solos is introducing the Privacy Kit: a set of physical accessories that give users direct, tangible control over their camera presence.

By

RICHARDSON, Texas, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hoymiles announced the official release of its HiFlow Pro plug-in microinverter, the first DIY solar microinverter compliant with the UL 3700 standard that is developed specifically for plug-in photovoltaic (PIPV) systems. Designed for plug-and-play residential solar applications, HiFlow Pro maximizes energy yield and optimizes performance within limited installation spaces, such as balconies and compact rooftops.

Building on years of dedicated expertise in the European plug-in energy sector, Hoymiles is bringing more accessible solar solutions to homeowners across the US.

A New Era for Plug-in Solar in the US

Plug-in solar systems have gained popularity in Europe by making solar energy accessible for homeowners and renters. As demand for similar solutions grows in the US, the market has highlighted the need for a dedicated safety framework beyond traditional rooftop PV.

In response, UL 3700 was introduced—the first North American safety standard specifically designed for plug-in photovoltaic systems. It provides manufacturers with a clear certification pathway while offering utilities, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), and consumers a consistent benchmark for safe deployment.

Hoymiles is leading this transition by introducing the first UL 3700-compliant plug-in solar microinverter to the US.

HiFlow Pro is optimized for residential plug-in PV applications to ensure maximum energy harvest.

What sets Hoymiles HiFlow Pro apart:

High energy yield enabled by industry-leading MPPT efficiency (99.8% static and 99.5% dynamic) and low-voltage operation, maximizing energy harvest under changing weather conditions.Plug-and-play setup and commissioning via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in less than 60 seconds, simplifying installation and system setup.Type 6 enclosure rating with reliable operation from -40°C to +65°C; Backed by 250,000-hour reliability testing, it delivers dependable performance across diverse climates.It supports parallel operation of four microinverters installed in separate sockets, enabling flexible expansion up to 1200 W total output power to satisfy different market needs and local regulations.

Driving the Future of Distributed Energy

“By introducing the first UL 3700-compliant plug-in microinverter in the US, we’re not only launching a new product—we’re helping establish a new benchmark for residential solar that combines simplicity, safety, and high performance,” said Hoymiles CEO Dr. Yang Bo.

As residential energy needs evolve in the US, Hoymiles remains committed to making solar more accessible and empowering more households with reliable clean energy solutions.
