HikoTerra, innovator in mobile integrated power solutions, have announced that its H⁴ Hybrid Power System has been nominated for a 2026 DAME Design Award in the Electronic & Electrical Systems category. The H⁴ is one of 74 products shortlisted from 153 entries in the 35th edition of the awards.
Developed in-house, the battery-first H⁴ integrates inverters, batteries, chargers and controls in a modular system. Boatbuilders and installers can configure the rack to suit a vessel’s available space and power requirements. Internal connections between the modules reduce the need for external cabling.
“We designed the H⁴ to make onboard power easier to install and easier to use,” said Mark Harnett, CEO of HikoTerra. “A builder can configure the system to fit the boat, and an owner can spend more time at anchor with the generator off. It means a great deal to our team to see the DAME jury recognize the engineering behind those practical gains.”
The H⁴ inverter is now rated at 12 kW, up 20% from 10 kW. With three inverters, the system’s maximum inverter output rises from 30 kW to 36 kW.
Metstrade will announce the winners on November 17 during the official opening at RAI Amsterdam. Visitors can see the H⁴ in the DAME Design Awards showcase in Hall 13 and visit HikoTerra at stand 02.129 during the November 17-19 show.
